Peer Led Sitting Group
2024-01-14 10:00 - 11:15
“A sangha is a community of friends practicing the dharma together in order to bring about and to maintain awareness. The essence of a sangha is awareness, understanding, acceptance, harmony and love.” – THICH NHAT HANH

One of the most important elements of Buddhist practice is being in community with fellow spiritual practitioners. Together, we create safety and strength through the sangha as we support one another on the path. Please join us for a bi-monthly sit from 10-11:15am pm that will include a brief intro and an approximately 30-40min silent sit.

Where: Thymele Arts (in the California Room)
5481 Santa Monica Blvd., East Hollywood, CA 90029
