Cherry Blossom Sangha

Cherry Blossom Sangha Join us biweekly as we practice mindfulness, nourish happiness, & foster a more compassionate society

Based in Seattle, our group comes together bimonthly to practice mindfulness, nourish happiness, and help build a more compassionate society. We embrace the Five Mindfulness Trainings, which are ethical guidelines that offer concrete practices of true love and compassion, and a path towards a life in harmony with each other and the Earth. These guidelines are the foundation of our lives and epitomize our commitment to service.

This Thursday you are invited to our bi-weekly sangha gathering. Together we will sit together in moments of stillness, learning, and sharing :) If you can’t make it that’s OK, we meet on the first and third Thursday of each month, so just catch us next time!

We also want to thank everyone again for joining us for our Seattle monastic tour events in July. It was so lovely to offer this warm welcome to our friends from Deer Park. We have good reason to believe the monastic sangha will be back in Seattle in the future, so keep an eye out from our sangha, and Mindfulness Community of Puget Sound, to stay up to date on future events.
