Laughing Rivers Sangha is one of more than a thousand communities worldwide that practices mindfulness as taught by Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We meet weekly to practice mindful sitting and walking meditation as a community.
After our meditation period, we usually listen to a reading or a Dharma talk, which is followed by Dharma discussion (group sharing). Once a month we recite the Mindfulness Trainings together. We also gather regularly throughout the year for Days of Mindfulness and social gatherings to deepen our practice and build community. Twice a year we organize weekend retreats with an ordained Dharma teacher from Thich Nhat Hanh's Order of Interbeing.
