Sangha House NOLA

06/03/2026

Beloved sangha, just 5 days remain before the Emancipating Hearts and Minds retreat begins. As we are preparing the temple, our bodies, and our minds to enter a state of deep practice, all Dharma/Wisdom Talks and Silent Presence sits are paused through the month of June.

We will still have our Core Group gathering on June 6, and our Community Day of Mindfulness on June 20, as we transition out of our Silent Retreat.

All regular sessions will resume in July. 🙏🏾

Sending metta and deep gratitude to Steve Martineau of for connecting us with these young leaders who have fiercely taken up the Bodhisattva path. It is not an easy thing to face the suffering of the world, but it is a noble and righteous thing to do. May the loving kindness you all extend carry each of you to more peace and happiness. 🙏🏾

Last week, 7 global youth leaders from who build bridges across cultural, religious, and political divides joined us at Sangha House for a deeper understanding about the roots of the practices they’ve already been living.

Through their mission work, they’ve been carrying Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings without knowing the lineage and Venerable Dayananda was honored to share it.

May the merits of their practice continue to benefit all beings. 🙏🏾

We are incredibly grateful for those who took time out of their day to share the gift of stillness with our beloved sangha.

All who give to this campaign, are ensuring a practitioner who has committed ten days of their life to silence, stillness, and inner transformation will be fully nourished so that nothing stands between them and the depth of their practice.

$25 feeds a retreatant for one day

$50 contributes the increase in the cost of utilities during retreatants stay

$250 covers the cost of space and supplies needed to tend to the temple

$500 supports one practitioner through 6 of the 10-day retreat

Share the gift of stillness this Give NOLA Day. Link to donate is in our bio. 🙏🏾✨

Vipassana is one of the most rigorous and transformative practices. Ten days of silence, sitting for hours, turning inward. Supporting this retreat invests in practitioners’ commitment to deep looking, transformation, and healing. When you support this work, you’re honoring our collective healing and liberation.

GiveNOLA Day invites you into sacred reciprocity. Your contribution ensures we can accommodate all who need it, sustaining this sanctuary and widening the path for others.
