Program Calendar
The Mahayana portion of the Sutrayana Study and Practice Intensive takes place over five two-week units - plus a four-day Period of Practice and Contemplation. While schedule changes in the form of additions and alterations may occur through this time, our expected milestones are as follows.
Please note these dates, allowing adequate time for program activities – especially the at home exam. Also be aware that every program unit – including the Exam Period – will feature a discussion forum Zoom gathering. These offerings are not listed here as their exact timing will be determined ‘in group’.
