This is a page of sangha-building events, led by community members. None of these are official “Path of Sincerity” events, and David may or may not be present at any of them. However, a basic requirement is that they are all wholesome in nature.
These may involve overtly Buddhist/meditative events, like book clubs, a group meditation, going to see a speaker/workshop/dharma special event, etc. They may also be more social in nature, like a hike, dinner or movie night.
If you have an event to submit, please do so on this form. I will try to get it posted within a day or two.
On the Community Discord, sometimes more informal or last-minute events pop up, as well as occasional discussion around the events.
Note that on the following table, you can scroll left or right — the event description is to the far right.
| Title | Location | Date & time | RSVP / Contact | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recovery & Mental Health Dharma Group | Zoom | Wednesdays at 5pm PT | Just show up! Visit the "Recovery Dharma" section of the Community Discord for the Zoom link & questions. | With an informal and welcoming vibe, several longtime practitioners & community members co-formed this group. The meeting discussions hope to dovetail dharma practice with 12 step learnings and mental health. People who join range from people with decades of experience in recovery to therapists to dharma practitioners to newer folks who are struggling with the weight of getting through the days — though everyone is willing to be completely and fully human, in the highs and the lows. You are warmly welcome to join any time! |
