Sangha Time (Meditation & Community Gathering) - Five Hindrances (Part 3)
Tonight we're continuing our 5 week Series on "The Five Hindrances". Drop in for any session, or come for all 5 :)
Getting hooked, becoming reactive, tuning out, feeling scattered, and losing confidence. They're all parts of our meditation practice, and they're all parts of life! We'll go through each of the hindrances, one per week, and explore how practice can support us.

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.
