At Purusha Yoga 3729 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

Satsang For Peace is a collaborative event brought to you by Purusha Yoga School, Integral Yoga Institute San Francisco. The meeting is held at Purusha Yoga Studio at 3729 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94121

Your donations go towards supporting The Purusha Seva Project and the Spiritual Action Initiative, non-profits.

The word satsang is derived from Sanskrit; ‘Sat’ meaning “truth” and ‘Sangha’ meaning “community”. A Satsang is an opportunity to come together in community to share spiritual teachings, often through an informal discussion. Although our spiritual paths may diverge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice. This is a non-denominational gathering. All are welcome.

This Satsang for Peace invites you to share your truth in a safe environment of peace-seeking individuals from a variety of backgrounds. This evening will include:

1. Self Care practices to maintain inner calm and well-being.
2. Community Support to strengthen our ability to be together.
3. Group Discussion to share needs, ideas, and solutions.
4. Natural Steps Forward personally and in our community.

We welcome everyone to come together in a safe space where all feelings and ideas may be expressed and heard.
