2023 Sunday Check-In


A half-hour of Dharma, reflection, and community connections

Sundays from 11:00am – 11:30am Sydney Time via Zoom


Led by Venerable Juewei and experienced facilitators from the community, we will have a “Mindful Check-In” together, share and care in smaller groups, and close each session with a dedication of merits.
