saturday sangha: history, mission & library

​

A BRIEF HISTORY:

saturday sangha began as second saturday sangha.  we started gathering in january of 2014 at a home yoga studio, hale holisitc, monthly.  this went on for a few years.  

 

when hale closed their doors, we went on tour in san diego for a few years, constantly changing locations and mingling with different communities.  it was interesting and exciting and a little exhausting.

 

then we grounded again in a different home studio, ginseng, for a couple more years.

 

enter covid-19 pandemic.  those conditions ushered us into our digital era, and also brought us into weekly meetings; needing each other never presented so evidently.

 

we've continued to practice primarily online, discovering together what it means to gather in digital rooms, in real shared time, with earnest hearts, in a way that orients towards some kind of liberation.  we kept exploring.

​

we gathered for a few POP UP! practices in-person / on-land...

​

and in august 2023, we decided as a collective that the time has come to draw our weekly online gatherings to a close and return to regular in-person practices.  we are grateful to reconnect with south park yoga (formerly ginseng, a previous home to us!) as our host studio for these gatherings. 

 

​

it's always true, but the 2020s seem to underscore it:

conditions change ceaselessly;

the ground itself is unable to be anchored down.

​

saturday sangha exists to support each of us in meeting this reality

with more skill, grace and a radically freed heartmind.

​

may we tread the path with care.

​

​

our mission:​​

to provide a place of refuge where folks can gather together to practice the awakening technologies of yoga, buddhism and embodiment arts,

and to explore how these practices intersect with our individual lives and collective culture.  

 

honoring all limbs of these paths, we investigate how these practices cultivate

stability, insight, resilience & courage.
