About
The Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism is the practice community and tradition founded by Thich Nhat Hanh.
There are many sanghas (communities) practicing in this tradition throughout Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area.
With this website, we hope to foster greater connections among those many sanghas. And we will share information about sangha events (Days of Mindfulness, retreats, etc.) with the broad community of practitioners.
- Here is a directory of Norcal Plum Village Sanghas.
- Please see our “News & Events” page for upcoming events and announcements.
- You may want to subscribe to the Norcal Sangha email list, where we share announcements and news of upcoming events.
