What we’re about
Our meetup group is a welcoming community of seekers, supporters, practitioners, and teachers inspired by the Theravāda Forest and Insight traditions, the Early Buddhist teachings of Mindfulness & Insight, and the Bhikkhunis' way of monastic life.

#Teachings from the Bhikkhuni Sangha
