About Our Sangha

We are a practice community in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist monk, author, and activist who has introduced the Vietnamese Zen practice of Engaged Buddhism to the West. Still Water Sangha of Minnesota formed in 2010 with enthusiasm and joy to practice mindfulness and meditation.

Through mindfulness, we can learn to live in the present moment instead of in the past and in the future. Dwelling in the present moment is the only way to truly develop peace, both in one’s self and in the world.  –Thich Nhat Hanh

Our purpose is to offer a welcoming and nurturing place for all people wishing to learn about and practice mindfulness. We are a community of practitioners who support and care for each other. We study the teachings of the Buddha together mainly through reading books and listening to Dharma talks by Thich Nhat Hanh and other Order of Interbeing monastic and lay teachers. We welcome
people from all spiritual practices and religious faiths to practice mindfulness with us.

Our Sangha meets virtually on Monday nights from 7-8:30pm.
