Hey fellow practitioners, I've recently moved to Brisbane, Australia after being booted back to my homeland by the virus thing a few months back. A Covid Refugee, if you will. I'm keen to meet fellow meditators in this town, but the only groups I've found so far (such as on Meetup dot com) are not very suitable. I'll be polite and refrain from elaborating except to say that talking and playing music while sitting doesn't seem much like serious practice. 

Let me know if you're out there and we can swap DMs and info. Hope to meet some new people and gain some insights into what's available!

Peter

That sounds fantastic. Can Americans travel to Australia right now?

Not really, but it's just not feasible for me.

Yeah not sure you'd be allowed in, they're pretty strict here these days ;-)

I'll reply just to keep this thread up the top in case any Brisbanese happen along...

Hey Peter,

Just joined up to the forum and did a quick search for Brisbane meditators.
I'm in the area (south side) and would be keen to catch up, have a sit and coffee if interested.

Slide into the DMs if interested my friend,
Sam.

Hey Sam, good to hear from you! Despite having been a member for a lot of years, I still have no idea how to use/find direct messages. I hope you don't mind if we use email: pstuckings at gmail. Looking forward to a meetup and chat!

Peter

P.S. To anyone in the future looking for hardcore meditators in Brisbane and who finds this message, feel free to reach out on that email address above.

Hey all, Peter and I caught up - was an awesome, refreshing chat littered with plenty of Dharma discussion!
Encouraging anyone else in the region to reach out and get a Sangha happening.

Hi all, I am based in Cairns and happy to meet whenever any of you comes to FNQ or during my next visit to Brissy! Cheers, Daniel.
