The Real Refuge Sangha, hosted by Richard Sloane
Real Refuge is designed to help us meet the challenges that inevitably come our way head on – with mindful awareness, with curiosity, with courage, with gratitude. In the Real Refuge Sangha, we come together as a community to practice, meditate, listen and share. During our 90 minutes together we will explore the nature of our minds in a spirit of curiosity, bravery, love and trust, where we can feel each others’ presence, each other’s vibration, each others’ warmth, to remind ourselves that we’re all in this together.
The Real Refuge Sangha is for experienced and novice meditators alike. It is for anyone who wants to tap into the power of mindfulness to transform our relationships to ourselves, each other and the world.
What: During our 90 minutes together we will explore the nature of our minds in a spirit of curiosity, bravery, love and trust.
Where: The Living Room at Full Circle in Gardiner NY at 297 Bruynswick Rd.
When: The February 2025 Real Refuge Sangha will meet in-person and virtually on Sunday 2/23 from 4-5:30pm EST
