For my 50th birthday I'm raising funds to build and grow 2 sangha communities. A sangha is a community of people who meditate together and support one another in their practice. A sangha is funded solely upon the concept of dana: donations given from the heart of generosity.

I am seeking to build 2 sanghas: One for women in recovery from substance and behavioral addictions. The second for the trans and queer community to have a safe place to join together in mindful practice. These are both communities that I'm active in and have need for unique spaces for meditative practice.

I'm seeking funds to cover the costs of zafus and zabutons (meditation cushions and mats), blankets, instruments, books, printing and binding costs, flyers and contact cards, and yoga mats.

You are welcome to contribute through:

Thank you for your generous consideration to help me complete a beautiful community space where people can learn peaceful meditative practice and a sense of community. Please be kind to yourself and remember that I'm grateful that you exist!

With deep gratitude,

Amma
