Sangha means community and in Buddhism it is one of the three jewels, where we take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma (the teachings) and the Sangha (a community of like minded people practicing together.)

Sangha Day is a Buddhist holiday celebrated in monastic communities around the world. It is celebrated on the full moon of the first lunar month, in 2020 this is on 7 February. Our Zen mini retreat is being held close to this celebration on Saturday 8 February, which allows us to honour this time of year with our own community.

Let’s come together to reconnect with our body and mind through meditation and mindfulness practice and some very gentle movement to bring the energy of the body into balance. Practicing together is a way to encourage us all to keep going, to find a space away from our busy lives to release, relax and just be. Let’s create our own little community where we can let go of daily struggles and unwind together.

Zen mini retreat – celebrating the Sangha – Saturday 8 February 10.30am – 12.30pm at Yinspire Yoga, Rowborough. £12, contact Anne to book: createharmonyiow@gmail.com
