Sangha Time (Meditation & Community Gathering) - Connecting with the Earth (Part 4)
Tonight we're continuing our 4 week Series on Connecting with the Earth. Drop in for any session, or come for all 4 :)
This month, we’ll explore, listen, learn, honor, and celebrate the life we’re part of!
Together, we’ll draw from different traditions — Buddhism, science, and Indigenous wisdom — to:
🌐 explore the miracle of nature, our bodies, and the web of interdependence
🎉 discover how connecting to this interdependence can help us become more alive
😰 learn ways to meet climate anxiety, both individually and collectively
❤️ reflect on what courageous, wise action and “active hope” might look like
🌍 practice meditation in nature to nourish connection with ourselves and the world around us
-
What to expect:
🙏 Meditate for 25m in silence
📖 Get inspired with wisdom readings
❤️ Share and connect with like-minded & like-hearted meditators
✍️ Set intentions & support each other to bring the practice to life
🍵 Enjoy tea & snacks in community

More info on Sangha Time:
Every Wednesday from 6:45-8:45pm. Private location in Haight Ashbury.
Sangha Time is our weekly meditation & community gathering. A place for connection, inspiration, and practice. We are a cross-lineage, peer-led sangha that is open to all. Whether you’re a longtime community member or just arriving, you are welcome here.
What type of space do we wish to create together?
A space for all of us - that welcomes diversity in all its forms
A space where we remind each other to practice meditation & nurture the qualities of kindness, wisdom, generosity and love that our society desperately needs more of
A space where we can show up as we are, share what’s in our hearts & minds, and listen deeply
A space where we can cultivate meaningful friendships to support us on the path
A space where we can get inspired to bring the dhamma into our lives. Through formal practice, reflection and our speech and actions every day.
We wish to shape this gathering together by embracing creativity and new ideas.
Whether its your first time here, or you come every week, everyone is invited to participate.
