### About the Gathering
Welcome to Sangha Social — an open-door Buddhist tea meetup where meditators, yogis, yoginis, and kind-hearted seekers gather to connect, unwind, and make friends before our weekly meditation class.
Doors open Tuesdays from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM for tea, conversation, and mindful community in our beautiful modern Buddhist residence. The temple is a serene gray three-story, split-level home with a red door and a Buddha statue resting peacefully beneath an apple tree. Inside, you’ll find sunlit spaces, warm wood tones, a koi pond, gardens, and calm mid-century modern design that welcomes everyone.
This is your hour to laugh, breathe, and share metta (loving-kindness) with other good humans — Buddhists, yogis, meditators, and the simply curious alike. No robes or rules, just genuine connection and good vibes.
At 7:00 PM, the optional Meditation Class begins in a separate dedicated meditation hall for those who wish to stay and deepen the stillness. Others are welcome to continue enjoying tea and mindful conversation in the residence.
Sangha Social is free — offerings of tea and good vibes are always welcome.
