Southern Dharma has expanded its program offerings to include live sessions with local Dharma teachers, as well as offerings from our residential retreat teachers. Live from Southern Dharma episodes may include meditation and meditation instructions, chanting, Dharma talks from our teachers and other practices they may have to share.

Live from Southern Dharma is offered to the public on a Dana (generosity) basis, and there is no fee for registration. Donations for the teacher are greatly appreciated. Participation in each session is limited to the first 100 users to join the call.
