Sangha

An opportunity to study and practice these teachings with friends on the path.

🧘 First thirty minutes

Sitting together

Meditation to begin — arriving, settling body and mind, and making space before the study.

📖 Second thirty minutes

The teaching

Reading slowly, one or two ideas at a time, letting a single verse reveal its many layers.

💬 Final thirty minutes

Dharma sharing

Listening deeply to one another, each person speaking from their own practice and experience.

Studying these teachings

If you would like to study these verses in community, you are warmly welcome to register your interest. I may look to start a new group in early 2027, and hearing from interested friends now will help give it shape. Places in any group are limited, and this study is really for friends who are genuinely interested and have the conditions to deepen their practice.

And if you facilitate a sangha and would like to lead your own group through the verses, I would be glad to hear from you — and happy to share the material prepared for our study, should it be useful to you.
