About This Class
Of the three jewels, or pillars, of Buddhism–meditation, the teachings, and spiritual community (sangha)–sangha may be most important. Maintaining a regular meditation practice can be challenging. Practicing as a group makes it easier…and more enjoyable.
The intention of this group is to provide a safe space where people can find comfort and connection in community; a place to share what’s on our hearts without fear of judgment or contradiction. Gathering on first Mondays, the hope is to set the table for a mindful month.
What You Can Expect
The class will consist of a guided meditation, a sharing circle, and a brief talk or reading followed by a discussion.
I look forward to being with all of you.
This Class will be offered via Zoom only.
