Friendship Sangha of the Heart is for anyone interested in the practice of meditation or mindfulness. Both experienced practitioners and those new to the practice are welcome. We practice in the tradition of the Buddhist Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. More information at our website: FriendshipSangha.org

Participation – Our Sangha, a Buddhist Practice Group, is open to any UUCV member or non-member who is interested in Buddhist practice. Anyone interested can sign up to receive an invitation here
