Slowly Ripening Sangha practices Zen Buddhism in the Plum Village tradition of Vietnamese monk, scholar, author and poet Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. It is affiliated with the Order of Interbeing and its hundreds of sanghas throughout the world.

Contact: Jasper Lerch, jasperlerch@sbcglobal.net
We meditate and socialize in accordance with the Five Mindfulness Trainings. Currently masks are optional. For your first visit, come 15 minutes early to orient. Meditation begins promptly at 7PM. No meditation experience needed. A brief orientation & instructions will be provided.
We begin with an hour of meditation— two sitting meditations and one walking meditation. After a short fellowship break, we return to the hall for a brief ceremony, reading, or discussion of our individual practices.
There is no charge for joining us in meditation, but we will have a dana (generosity) bowl out for donations.
