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.
