Our Format
Here's how DepthPerception works.
First check the website before coming to determine if there is a program this week, what program will be
played* (if you care) and also the location of the program (which will change from time to time). The
website should be considered the most reliable source for this. Fliers or posters could be outdated.
Arrive 10 minutes early if possible.
Promptly at the start time, we will begin the Silent Meditation. If you arrive late, please either sit just
outside the room or enter quietly and take a seat to join us.
At the end of the 30 minute meditation, the host will introduce the program and push the "PLAY" button.
We will always attempt to play the program that was shown on the website, but substitutions may be made
for a variety of reasons.
During the program, please be respectful of the group. This mostly means to be quiet. "Silence is Golden"
during the audio or video program. Discussion comes afterward. If you fall asleep, that's OK, but if you
snore, expect to be nudged by a neighbor. Feel free to leave entirely or to get up and use the rest room as
needed without explanation to anyone--and simply do it quietly. Tea may be available during the program
- just get it quietly at any time.
At between 40 and 75 minutes later, usually not more than 60 minutes but at the discretion of the host, the
"STOP" button will be pushed. Some of these programs are hours and hours long, and it won't be feasible
to play the whole thing. We want to keep the programs short enough that people will be able to find the
time to attend, but long enough to be truly thought provoking and meaningful. And we definitely want to
have time left over to talk and get to know each other. (Sometimes we will play a multiple CD set over a
period of weeks.)
After the program--different formats could happen, depending on the host, the size of the group, the
program just played, etc. Perhaps there will be a short group discussion, or maybe we'll simply break out
into a social time or leave. The host will help direct this.
Later On--if you loved it, please tell your friends who might enjoy it, too. Send them a link for this
website, for instance, which will give them the opportunity to get on our email list. Remember, you can
unsubscribe to our email list at any time, and we will not sell the list to anyone.
Regarding Food--Unless otherwise noted by your host there will be no food provided at the meetings, but
you may bring a quiet snack (not slurpy or crunchy, please) with you if you must. It is suggested that you
try and eat before or after the program.
SUGGESTED DONATION: Just your open and positive attitude, your inquisitive self, and your desire to
connect with some good people.
*From time to time a live seminar or a video presentation might be substituted for the audio program.
