Sangha Evening in Deal

Our regular Sangha Evenings are held in-person in Deal on Wednesday evenings. (In Buddhism Sangha means ‘community’). We ask for a donation of £8 (or what you can afford) to help with venue hire. There is usually a card machine available to take payments.

Our Sangha Evenings are suitable for people aged 18+ who know the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana Meditations.

We usually have a lightly led meditation and a talk. Once a month we include a pūjā (ritual). 

There is also a chance each week for a cuppa and a catch up at the break! Drinks and biscuits are provided. 

We announce our weekly events along with our Zoom code (for occasional online weeks) in our regular mailings. 

If you would like to receive our email contact: ekbuddhists@gmail.com

Our Future Sangha Evenings:

On the first Wednesday of the month there is no Sangha Evening at Sholden Village Hall - please email ekbuddhists@gmail.com if you wish to organise something, eg a walk (weather permitting), a short meditation on the beach, or a meeting in someone's house etc.

Our Vision & Looking Ahead: 

Please do come along to our Sangha Evening on Wednesday 11th September when we will be discussing our vision and strategy for the year to come. I have decided to step down as Chair next summer. So what will our sangha look like when that happens? Our vision for the past 3 years has been about being more visible in the community and attracting diversity.

Our vision for the next year will be:-
Deepening the sangha within Deal, Canterbury and Margate;
Spreading the dharma;
Consolidating what we have already achieved;
And encouraging people to deepen their own practice.

I will explore these themes during the evening when there will be opportunities for discussion and questions, and as usual we will meditate together.
I look forward to seeing you
With metta,
Prajnasisya

Wednesday 18th September:

Wednesday 25th September:

A Puja evening at Sholden Village Hall. 

Please note, we will soon add more details to each of these events. Thank you, and we hope to see you soon.
