  Virtual Meeting

Upcoming Schedule ►

Most Sundays, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time, we hold our weekly meeting at the temple in El Monte, California. This meeting offers Tao-oriented presentations from Bill, Carmen and Derek. Currently, Derek is lecturing on the Tao Te Ching one chapter at a time.

We want to make this meeting available to everyone through the Internet. Thanks to Bill Bunting's effort, we are able to offer online virtual meetings using GoToWebinar.

  How to Join

• Step 1: get on the mailing list for weekly notifications

• Go to freelists.org/list/taomeeting. Do this a few days before the meeting to give the system a chance to include you.
   
• Type in your e-mail address, select "Subscribe" and click on "Go!"
   
• You'll receive a confirmation message in your inbox that says "Request received for list 'taomeeting' via request address." There's no need to reply to this message. You are now part of the mailing list and will receive the weekly meeting notifications. You only have to do this once, unless you change your email and wish to sign up with the new email address.
   
• If you run into any problems with the above, you can always contact us through the Tea House to let us know. Bill Bunting will serve as your contact to help you with any questions or issues.
   
• Be sure to check the calendar on the home page to see if there is a meeting scheduled for the Sunday coming up.

• Step 2: register for the webinar

• On the Saturday right before the meeting, you will receive an e-mail containing simple instructions. Use the link in it to register for the webinar, if you have not already done so.
  
  Please note that the notification goes out on Saturday, so if you wait until Sunday to subscribe to the mailing list, you won't see the notification until the following Saturday.
   
• If you are in a different time zone, you may wish to consult a world clock web site to be sure you are online at the right time on the day of the meeting.
   
• GoToWebinar will send you meeting reminders and a link to the meeting. When accessing the meeting for the first time, you may want to allocate an extra fifteen minutes before the meeting starts to install the GoToWebinar software. You only need to do this once.
   
• That's it! You should now be able to see the meeting.
