Sangha
Is A group of us—urban dwellers—walking our spiritual paths while living in a crumbling ancient matrix.

Join us.
Our principles draw from Buddhist ideas, but this is not a Buddhist or Dharma gathering. It’s a circle of alchemists, newbies, and elders. Beautiful souls who come together to share our practices, our panics, our gifts, and our shadows.
You don’t need to have a “practice” to join. You just have to show up, listen, share, and have the compassion to hear ideas that might expand the capacity of your heart.
That’s all.
Simply put, Sangha means “community.” If you’d like to explore the traditional roots of Sangha, here are a few resources:

This group began during COVID as a safe space to gather and meditate. I paused it for a year, then restarted it about two years ago. While the heart of it remains the same, our principles have evolved.
The Principles
1.
We gather to strengthen the capacity of the heart. To hold contrasting ideas, and to meet challenging words and actions with compassion. We practice expanding the space of the heart.
2.
We gather to practice the act of listening and the act of sharing. A sacred exchange of energy. Both giving and receiving require patience, vulnerability, and witnessing. We practice being attuned.
3.
We gather in the spirit of being citizens of light while facing our shadows. We honor our place as citizens of Earth. We stand as allies to our ancestors, as they stand with us. We listen to the deeper wisdom of plants.
4.
We gather to be challenged.
5.
This group is gathered and supported through donation. This exchange makes it possible for me to continue holding space and to create new opportunities for our community to gather and grow.
Please give as you are able and as your heart is called. Your generosity and support mean a great deal and enable this work to continue.
