Accessibility Statement for Sangha House NOLA https://www.sanghahousenola.org/ 

Updated February 20, 2026

Our Commitment

Sangha House NOLA is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those living with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the experience for everyone who visits our website and to uphold the accessibility standards that make digital spaces truly welcoming.

We believe that accessibility is not a compliance checkbox but a collective moral practice, one rooted in our deepest values of dignity, inclusion, and the liberation of all beings. We will periodically revise this statement to reflect our ongoing learning and improvements.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, establishing three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

We are making sincere and ongoing efforts to meet these standards across all pages and content on our site. Some content may not yet fully meet the highest accessibility standards, as we continue to identify the most suitable technological solutions. We hold this gap with honesty and accountability, not avoidance.

Our Physical Space

We extend this commitment beyond our digital home to our physical one.

We acknowledge that our current physical environment may not yet reflect the full inclusivity we aspire to embody. Narrow entrances, stairways, and limited accommodations may present real barriers to some members of our beloved community. We hold this awareness with mindfulness and a sincere heart of intention.

We know that the path of liberation is collective, and it must include all bodies, all minds, and all ways of being in the world. These truths are not invisible to us. We hold them with compassionate awareness rather than avoidance, and we are actively listening, learning, and moving toward a space that better reflects our shared values of care, dignity, and belonging.

We also understand that true accessibility means honoring the fullness of disabled people’s experiences, wisdom, and leadership. Disability justice teaches us that access is a starting point, not the destination. With humility and commitment, we continue to ask: what would a truly accessible and healing refuge look like? We do not claim to have all the answers, and we welcome the collective imagining that helps us find them.

Your Voice Matters

We warmly invite you to share your ideas, needs, and hopes with us. Whether you are looking for different seating options, assistive supports, accommodations during practice or retreat, or something we haven’t yet thought of, your input will help shape a space where all feel seen, supported, and included on the path of practice.

If you encounter any barriers on our website or in our physical space, or simply want to share what would make Sangha House more accessible to you, please reach out:

Email: ab****@*************la.org

We receive your messages with care and respond in the rhythm of mindful practice rather than the pace of urgency. We will do our best to be in touch with you within a few days of receiving your message.
