Meditation & Gatherings
Compassionate Ocean Sangha (community) is a group practicing in the Buddhist mindfulness traditions of Soto Zen and Thich Nhat Hanh. Throughout the year we have weekly gatherings that include sitting and walking meditation, Dharma talks and discussions, mindful movement, chanting and singing, and other spiritual practices. Dharma talks focus on aspects of Buddhist teaching and their application to everyday life.
​
Everyone is invited to participate. There are no prerequisites or fees; donations are welcome.
​
Sunday and weekday morning gatherings, and some classes, are offered by Zoom as well as in-person.
