Meru Foundation's Meeting Tent: Materials to Accompany DVD Series

MATERIALS TO ACCOMPANY
MERU FOUNDATION VIDEOTAPES
(last updated 18 December 1999)Each of Meru Foundation's seven videotapes was designed to be supplemented by printed material, including both essays and graphics. In most cases, since these videos are primarily of live lectures by Stan Tenen, this supplemental material was distributed to the audience, or (in the case of poster-sized graphics) was viewable by the audience during the lecture.

Much of this material is already available on the Meru Foundation website. Material not currently available will be added until the online set is complete. Below is an index to this material, keyed by videotape.

To order Meru Foundation videotaped presentations, please go to the Meru Foundation secure server website, www.meetingtent.com
