Hi Cousin,
There is a refuge meeting an hour and a half away from me on Tuesdays, but I already have to go 2 hours back and forth every weekend for temple and psychologist, so I just can't afford the Gas or the time as I am not good at night driving.
The important thing for me has been to continue to listen to Ajan Sumedo or another monk every morning and do meditation. Overslept this morning so just going to get about 1/2 hour in this morning, will try for more later.
Rattled and terribly human in samsara right now ....
