Practice Groups

Within Buddhism, a community that gathers to meditate, to share their joys and difficulties, and to encourage each other on the path, is traditionally called a sangha.

We also recognise the wisdom and need of being in safe spaces for affinity communities. These sanghas have become increasingly more accessible as many of these groups meet online.
