About Me

The Island Sangha
Please consider joining us on Wednesday evenings for a meditation session. After we have a small refreshment and listen to an audio dharma teaching or have a discussion. Please do not be intimidated if you have not meditated before. Just write and an instruction will be set up. Simple easy and natural are the key words to remember.
