Sunday Sangha – 1st November 2026

This session is led by Trudy Goodman.

Start Time: 11 am PST (LA) / 2 pm EST (NY) / 7 pm GMT (London) / 8 pm CET (Paris). 90-minute live session.

This week’s theme: Where Are We Going, and Who Walks With Us?

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” Alice asks the Cheshire Cat. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
Together we’ll ask what it means to mature in practice: where are we headed, and who helps us on the way? We’ll explore the joy and necessity of kalyana mitta, the friends made beautiful by walking the path with us.

This session is freely-offered, but dana/donations are invited to help us meet our substantial running costs and to support our teachers. To donate, please click here. We appreciate your generosity 🙏
