Can I watch sessions that I missed later on?
For the duration of the retreat, yes, and very likely after as well. After a session is over, the link for watching on YouTube will take you to the video of the session. So you can catch up in your own time, simply by clicking on the Watch link for the session.

Is Google Hangouts required for watching the talks?

How long are the sessions?
As a general guideline, the sessions will last for about 90 mins (unless otherwise indicated). The first half of the session will be a conversation between myself (Grace Bubeck) and the teacher on the topic of the session; in the second half you're welcome to join us live on the Google hangout in order to ask a question or comment.
