Sangha Strong: A Day of Mindfulness
Sat, Feb 01
|New Orleans
To be Sangha Strong means we lean into the support of the collective, recognizing that when one of us bends, another holds steady. It’s not about individual endurance but about sharing the load, offering and receiving strength as needed.

About the event
We invite you to join us at Sangha House NOLA for a mindful Sunday, a day dedicated to coming home to ourselves, the present moment, and the rich history of the land we gather on. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or have an established practice, this day is for everyone—including children, who are warmly encouraged to join in this shared experience. Together, we’ll cultivate awareness, care, and connection through simple yet profound practices.
Our mindful day includes:
Walking Meditation: Invites us to unite our breath and steps, connecting with the present moment and rediscovering a sense of peace and groundedness on the land that sustains us.
Mindful Movement: Allows us to connect with our bodies and deepen our awareness through motion.
A Silent Meal: An opportunity to slow down, reflect on our consumption, and savor the nourishment that sustains us.
Dharma Talk: A time for reflection and insight.
Dharma Sharing: An opportunity to deepen our understanding, cultivate loving speech, and listen deeply to one another.
No prior experience is required—anyone can benefit from taking a day to pause, breathe, and nurture their well-being. Mindfulness is a practice that touches all ages, and we look forward to welcoming you—and your children—to this day of presence, reflection, and connection at Sangha House NOLA.
