What’s really going on in the Northern California PV community? Are we on the right path? What do we need as a community to continue beautifully into the future?
This coming Sunday, May 11, Shantideva Monastery welcomes the community to a Vesak celebration. Vesak is the annual observance of the Buddha’s birthday and/or enlightenment day.
You are welcome to join us for a half-day of meditation from 10 a.m. until 2 or 2:30 p.m. (you can arrive as early as 9:30). Please bring your own lunch!
After lunch we will have a ceremony involving bathing baby Buddha.
If you are a sangha organizer, facilitator, or someone on the OI path, you are warmly invited to an in-person tea time.
Anyone who is a sangha organizer/facilitator in the Plum Village tradition is welcome. Please RSVP to dylan@tweney.com if you’re planning on coming.

We are happy to share that a new in-person, all-ages Plum Village sangha in San Francisco has launched! Our space is beautiful – an epic, circular, interfaith chapel at the UU church in SF. We hope you will consider joining us (practicing with us? facilitating? being on the organizing team?) so we can make the most of practicing mindfulness together as a community.
We are meeting weekly on Fridays from 4:30-6pm, at the UU Church at 1187 Franklin St in San Francisco.
Every week, we will practice sitting and walking meditation, a short reading, and Dharma sharing. All are welcome.
Some quick tidbits:
We recommend arriving a few minutes early so our door greeter can join the sangha gathering sooner rather than later. If you arrive late and need someone to come to the door, please text Nicole at (415) 317-1086
Please see the attached flyer for more information, and pass along to anyone you think might be interested.
The group will be peer-led. Every week we will practice sitting and walking meditation, enjoy a reading, and finish with Dharma sharing.
