Events at Sangha House
NEW EVENT!
2025 Tashi Kiyl US Tour
Aug 18th - 24th at Sangha House
This August, Sangha House is honored to host the monks of Tashi Kyil Monastery as part of their 2025 U.S. Tour. These monks have journeyed from their refugee monastery in Dehra Dun, India to share the sacred culture, rituals, and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, and to raise critical funds for their monastic community.
Meditation · Recovery · Dharma · Community
At Sangha House, we believe that healing and awakening are not solitary pursuits — they happen in community. Our events offer space for reflection, transformation, and connection through the lens of Buddhism, creativity, and recovery.
From nightly meditation to weekend retreats, art workshops to sacred rituals, every gathering is an opportunity to deepen your practice and belong to something meaningful.
