White Heron Sangha

White Heron Sangha is a peer-led, non-lineage Buddhist community on the California Central Coast offering a regular meeting place for meditation practice, instruction, study, and other Buddhist-related practices in a welcoming environment.

As a community of practitioners, White Heron Sangha encourages the understanding of and respect for the basic goodness inherent in all individuals, groups and cultures. The sangha is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and open-hearted refuge for all people to explore the life transforming practice of meditation and the teachings of the Buddha. The teachings challenge us to recognize and dissolve the barriers that separate us from one another.Buddhist teachers from diverse traditions visit from outside the community and community members also offer their own perspectives. The sangha is entirely volunteer led and supported.
