West Wind Sangha

We start with a 30 minute sit.

This is a small group with no leader. There is often a lot of discussion. Discussion usually relates to the current book, that we read together after Meditation, and is focused on principles and concepts of Buddhism.

We generally end with a short reading or Metta.

We are currently reading: Seeking the Heart of Wisdom: The Path of Insight Meditation by Joseph Goldstein & Jack Kornfield
