Sangha support groups

Sangha support groups

With there being so much wisdom in our growing community of dedicated meditators it brings me much joy to share with you these Sangha support groups. Sangha support groups are run by community members to support the community as a whole. They are here to help us build wise friendships, to establish good habits, to practice accountability, and to learn new skills. Take a look at our current Sangha support groups below, and if you are interested in leading a group of your own you can apply here.
