Shantideva Sangha Gathering

We invite anyone in the community to join our practice from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the following dates: July 20, September 7, October 19, and November 16. (Note: usually the third Saturday of each month.)

For October 19, we are adding an optional recitation of the 14 Mindfulness Trainings to our afternoon schedule, at 1:30pm. All are welcome to stay for this, or do other activities, as conditions permit.

We aspire that Shantideva will become a resource and anchor for our broad and diverse Bay Area and Northern California communities. Gathering at Shantideva is a chance for people from our many different sanghas to practice together in friendship, and to create opportunities for honest and vulnerable discussion.

Please email Dylan if you’re planning to attend.

You are free to join for part or all of the day. Please bring your own lunch if you plan to be here during lunch.
