When you register you’ll automatically be sent an email whose subject line starts with “How to Join”.

An additional email containing the link is emailed the day before the Day of Practice runs. The subject line will start with “Reminder: HOW TO JOIN”.

If you can’t find either of these emails in your inbox, please check your spam / junk / trash folders in the first instance.

Alternatively, you can go to ‘My Courses’ in the top menu bar of our website (you’ll need to be logged in to our website for this to show), and click on the button for the Day of Practice, which will open the Zoom link.

If none of the above helps, please contact us.

Yes, all our Days of Practice are recorded.

Recordings are made available on our website by the end of the day on the Monday following the live session. Registrants will receive an email informing them when it is ready to view.

All our Sunday Sangha sessions are recorded and freely available in our dharma library. They are posted in the dharma library by the end of the day on the Monday following the live session. Recordings are available indefinitely.

Sunday Sangha video recordings are not downloadable; however, you are welcome to download the audio file.

Materials for both live and on-demand courses will be available to you indefinitely. These include recordings of all live, interactive sessions.

That’s no problem; the course orientation will be recorded and posted within 24 hours of the livestream. Recordings of the interactive sessions will be made available on the course platform on the Monday following the livestream.

There is no need to let us know if you can’t attend.

You are welcome to submit any questions for the teacher to the course guide in advance of the session, for answering during the session.

The majority of our live courses are eventually made available as on-demand courses; however, we can’t guarantee that this will happen, or give an idea of the timeline.

If you really don’t want to miss out on a course, our suggestion would be to register now, and then follow along with the course materials at a later date that is convenient for you.

(However, please be aware that you will be unable to submit questions to the teacher once the live course is no longer running.)

These can be found on the course page in the section titled ‘Schedule’. Please go to ‘Our Courses’ in the top menu bar on our website, and click on the course you are interested in to open the course page.

If you’ve already signed up for an upcoming course, you’ll also find the dates and times in the pinned post in the ‘Start Here / Announcements’ space on the course platform, along with other useful information.

Thank you for your kind intention to donate.

Donations can be made via our ‘Donate’ page here: https://sangha.live/donate/

We invite you to give based on your capacity and appreciation for the sessions. Because this is different for everyone, we don’t suggest any particular amount.

So, if you’d like to give, please decide on an amount that feels right for you. Any amount is gratefully received, and supports us in sharing the dharma.

We’re not sure why this is occasionally happening, but you may be able to fix it by:

  • selecting a different currency to the one you wish to donate in
  • then switching back to the currency you’d like to donate in and trying again

If that doesn’t resolve the issue or you need more help, please contact us.

We are not normally able to put questions to teachers outside of live sessions.

If you have a question, in the first instance please visit the teacher’s website to see if they are directly contactable. If you can’t find contact details on their website, feel free to contact us and we will help where we can.

Alternatively, please feel free to put your question to a teacher during their next session teaching with us. (If you are unable to attend live, we can pass your question on to the teacher for answering during the live session.)

Unless your question is related to Martin’s teaching activities at Sangha Live, we are unfortunately unlikely to be able to help. We’d suggest you contact either Martin’s team, or the team at the Moulin de Chaves, depending on the nature of your question
