Accessing Teachings through the Internet

Up & Coming Webcasts Postponed until further notice.

“The netcast was almost as good as being right there. I often felt tears, as I tend to when I feel connected to and in touch with truth and love. Thank you so much for this gift.”
--student in Nova Scotia, Canada

Teaching is now available through "netcasts", i.e., audio broadcasts accessed through the internet. Classes take place monthly, and are free of charge to members. Catherine Jetsun Yeshe leads the teaching, with support from a team of senior instructors.

Becoming a member of Friends of the Heart is easy. Associate membership costs $60 per year and entitles you to listen to all netcasts. To find out more about becoming a member, click here.

How it Works

You need certain software (available free) to access netcasts. See the links to the left for Mac or PC. You also need to tune in at a specific time, just like for an ordinary radio broadcast.

Time Conversion for Your Area

To get an accurate conversion to your own time zone (taking into account such complications as Daylight Savings Time) check www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html. Or you can use the clocks on this page to make a time conversion. Your Computer Clock Time is Confirm that your computer time is accurate. Then look up your city on the click down list. If your city and your computer agree, then click for Toronto time to work out the difference.

Chat Room to Ask Questions and Respond to Netcast

During each netcast you can establish two-way communication with us through a Chat Room that we have now established on our website. This allows you to ask the teacher questions, which are then given on air replies. To access the chat room, please go to www.friendsoftheheart.com/Chat/phpMyChat.php3 .
For first time access, click on "Register". This will pop-up a new window, with a registration form. If you have "Pop-up Stopper" or a similar program that blocks pop-up windows, this needs to be disabled.
