“Touching the Earth:
Transforming the Suffering in and Around Us.”
Facilitated by the Wake Up Sangha
We are a diverse group of young people practicing the living art of mindfulness and meditation. We have grown out of the teachings and under the guidance of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We are part of a worldwide movement of young Buddhists and non-Buddhists practicing mindful living. We share a determination to live in an awakened way, to realize the path of understanding and love, and to help our society, which is overloaded with intolerance, discrimination, craving, anger, and despair. We aim to experience joy and ease in our pursuits, keeping it real with the laughter, sanity, and friendship that bloom from practicing mindfulness together. Our practitioners are aged 18-35.Transforming the Suffering in and Around Us.”
Facilitated by the Wake Up Sangha
“We are thrilled to share our Wake Up practice with
the Whole Community at this Day of Mindfulness”🌻
