What is Dana?
Dana is a Buddhist word that means generosity or heart. Nearly all Sacramento Insight Meditation activities are offered on a dana (donations) basis. This means our programs are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support, service and participation in events. Practice dana, please support our Sangha. DONATE NOW

Family Sangha
SDCFamily Sangha meets monthly on the second Sunday. If you have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or young friends with whom you’d love to share the path of kindness and mindfulness – please bring them and stay for the morning. This program includes a child-friendly introduction to mindfulness, art projects, snacks, and outdoor exploration and fun. The curriculum is inspired by Awakening Joy with Kids, by James Baraz.
Family Sangha is sponsored by the Sacramento Dharma Center.
