"Hi Shana - I encourage you to start a sangha and seek out some help from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation who has a resource kit to help you begin." - Kenley Neufeld

"Hi Randy. Typically there is only complete registration and attendance available but you can contact the monastery directly and see if they will offer any alternatives." - Kenley Neufeld

"Unfortunately, the monastery does not offer a shuttle from Escondido up to the monastery (If that's what you're asking). You can walk or take a taxi." - Kenley Neufeld

"Yes, the talks from retreats are usually available and we try to provide from the public talks but it's not always possible. You can follow http://tnhaudio.org as it will be posted there if it's every released." - Kenley Neufeld

"Please review the What to Bring description on the monastery web site." - Kenley Neufeld

"We typically don't have audio or video available to distribute from our public talks, primarily due to the high cost, but we do plan to live stream one of our west coast public talks next month." - Kenley Neufeld

"Both are a great place to begin for those new to the teachings. The primary difference is the length of the activity. A public talk will be contained, with a reserved seat, and last about 2-3 hours. The Day of Mindfulness is all day and you really have the opportunity to experience many different elements of the practice (eating and total relaxation are two you won't get at the public talk). Both are appropriate for beginners." - Kenley Neufeld

"That is a big unknown at this time. My understanding is their may not be translation, at least not on a large scale, so if you come and there isn't then just practice being present." - Kenley Neufeld

"I just received updated information and the "walk" is now going to be "sit" instead. It will be from 2pm-3pm." - Kenley Neufeld

"I have not been directly to remove the commuter registration option so you should complete the registration form linked above as soon as possible." - Kenley Neufeld

"Your best bet is to contact Trinity, but based on my experience with the sangha it will start at 2pm with the guided meditation." - Kenley Neufeld

"I've been using Google services on my iPhone since it became available and have had frustrations several times over the last 5-years. Also, been syncing calendars and contacts since Palm OS in the mid-90s and so quite familiar with the joys and frustrations. When EAS was removed for new phones/accounts, I decided to go ahead and give CalDAV and CardDAV a try since I work on two Mac computers, an iPad, and an iPhone with 5-10 calendars and two contact sources (work and home) and I'm primarily in the Google landscape for mail/contacts/calendar. I think that the contacts and the mail syncs pretty flawlessly and I don't find myself troubled by any of it's actions. However, I do flip between the Google app and the Mail app on my iPhone throughout the day. As you've pointed out, the calendar has some nuances that can lead to frustration. For the most part it works as long as I keep certain things in mind. Also, rather than using Fetch automatically I have it set to Manual so the sync..." - Kenley Neufeld

"This event begins at 2:00pm" - Kenley Neufeld

"In all likelihood, this event will be live-streamed on that day. Please look for an announcement with details sometime in the next month. :-)" - Kenley Neufeld

"This will be a very full event and the monastery will be packed. In past years, nobody has been turned away (we have several hundred acres!) but you should come earlier rather than later. My suggestion is get there no later than 8am." - Kenley Neufeld

"Lunch will be provided. :-)" - Kenley Neufeld

"Yes, it does appear the event is sold out (we released the last 50-tickets yesterday). You can continue to check Ticketmaster and/or check the box office on the day of the event." - Kenley Neufeld

"Hi Stassia. I'm very happy to hear that you'll attend the retreat with your teen son. Typically the teens will all form a group together whereby they will follow the program together as a group. They will have a few activities on their own, but will attend the dharma talks with the adults. I hope this helps." - Kenley Neufeld

"It must be out of print. I see copies available on Amazon" - Kenley Neufeld

"The monastery should have sufficient cushions and chairs for you for the day of mindfulness." - Kenley Neufeld

"Yes, I would just keep checking the Ticketmaster link from time to time or here when we get close to the date. There are still tickets available for the talk in Pasadena." - Kenley Neufeld

"Yay!" - Kenley Neufeld

"As far as I know the event is sold out but tickets may be released between now and the event and/or tickets at the door." - Kenley Neufeld
