Flowing River Sangha
We are an interfaith gathering of people who support one another in
the practice of Zen meditation. This practice can deepen the roots of
one’s faith tradition or simply open the way to a spiritual life
grounded in the reality of the present moment. Zen allows us to flow
through life with more equanimity so that we might engage in
compassionate action.
ALL are welcome!

Flowing River Sangha bears witness to uncertainty. We respond with loving action both within the sangha and the larger community. For example, during the holiday season, we provided, prepared and served meals to the homeless community being housed during the harsh winter season.
