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, aversion, and delusion 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!

We gather weekly to create community and receive support to continue Thay's practice of dwelling happily in the present moment. Together, through sitting meditation, walking meditation and lying down meditation; coupled with mindful eating and drinking we cultivate our ability to use our practice to care for our lives.  SF Sangha is a great place to bring your practice questions and learn how meditation teacher Augusta Hopkins (True Ocean of Strength / Peaceful Fulfillment of the Heart) sees the teachings of the Buddha apply to particular challenges of life (aka Dukkha) and how she currently engages, or has in the past engaged, in the practice of mindfulness to navigate similar terrain.  

We recite the Five Mindfulness Trainings on the first Monday of the Month.
