Telechat Link
A monthly meeting for an hour on the third Sunday of the month at 11:00am ACST (starting 20th July) . There's a strong possibility that you'll be as happy as these folk (>>>) after our conversation.
Bear in mind that I'm going to keep the groups fairly small at this time (about 20ppl) so first in first served.
I'm really interested to hear about where you are in your journey and what might be working for you in terms of study ideas etc.
