Forest River Sangha is a Buddhist sangha in the Peoria, IL area that practices in the Plum Village tradition, founded by Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and Sister Chan Khong.
From the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: "A sangha is a local community of mindfulness practitioners who gather to meditate, to share their joys and difficulties, and to encourage each other on the path of practice. Meeting regularly with others to sit and share together is a precious way to cultivate our understanding and compassion and to re-establish our deep connection with others."
This sangha holds regular, bi-weekly meetings, and eventually we will host other events such as walking meditations/group hikes in nature, book clubs, and other activities. This sangha is an English language sangha for the time being.
Whether you're an experienced practitioner, new to Buddhism, or just curious, everyone is welcome!
