Chanteloube's calendars: The programme calendar, practice calendar and Tibetan calendar combined
About Chanteloube's Google Calendars
Chanteloube has created several online calendars using Google calendar, in order to make it easy to share our calendars and to allow users to subscribe to event reminders. This new feature helps users integrate events into their online calendars or other calendar software, such as Outlook, thereby eliminating the need to copy information manually. The following calendars are available:
When you subscribe to the calendar, you will be able to view Chanteloube's programme & practice schedules or Tibetan calendar next to your personal calendar. If you do not have a Google account, you will be prompted to create one by entering your current email address (you do not need to have a Gmail address). You can also import and export Google Calendar into and from Outlook, send the calendar to friends, and set up automatic event reminders, including mobile phone notifications (in Google Calendar settings / event details).
Note: To view the Google Calendar, JavaScript and cookies must be enabled on all browsers.
How to subscribe to a calendar
To subscribe to Chanteloube's practice calendar or programme schedule, simply click on the following links. If you don't have a Google account, you will be asked to sign in using your current email address as your Google username (you do not require a Gmail address).

In Outlook, open the 'File' menu. Click 'Import and Export' and click 'Import an iCalendar (.ics)'. Browse to where you saved the calendar on your computer (usually the desktop).
