Sangha Builders
Caring for a Sangha
Whether you're a beginner, aspiring to start a sangha in the Plum Village tradition, or an experienced sangha builder, we are here for you.
The sangha builders group is where we come together, supporting one another and cultivating siblinghood.
Upcoming Events
The plumline hosts offer monthly events including sharings by dharma teachers, training sessions for builders, and some months we just come together and share a cup of tea. Sessions are free and online. The Zoom link goes to the a few days beforehand.

December turns from the darkness of autumn towards the new light of the solstice — an opening to bring that light into our sanghas, and to shine our own in the ten directions.
Times are Eastern, in New York.
The next sessions will be announced here soon.
