with Augusta Hopkins

Every Monday, 5-7 PM

Registration optional

Come as you are. Leave as you must.

Especially in this dark time, we need the spiritual and emotional support of Sangha. Come together in community to rest and replenish. Bring your sorrows and your joys. Together we will explore Buddhist principles to navigate this s**f.

Spiritual Friends Sangha is a growing, living, ever changing community. We gather to celebrate our joys and care for our sorrows, together, so that we may be nourished by reality and not fear it.

We are relational human beings, we need each other. We need community.

The forces of greed (lobha) aversion (dosa) and delusion (moha) are strong, in us and in the world. And some of us are feeling that truth now more than ever.

Buddha laid out a path that leads to the end of this suffering.

Let’s journey it together!
