Small Sangha

What learners say about the Small Sangha

— “Bhavana Learning Group has provided me unprecedented access to Buddhist Psychology to support my personal and professional development, including my work with clients.

— I came into the Small Sangha with a simple, general interest in Buddhism. Unexpectedly, I left with a deep sense of myself, my path, and my future.

— Tony’s impactful and engaging teaching style, including the context he provided for teachings, combined with the enthusiasm of fellow learners, made each session powerful and insightful.

— I would not have been able to consume and integrate Chogyam Trungpa’s teachings in this 600+ page text without the Small Sangha.

— My relationship with change is shifting from coping to adapting to change. My mindset is shifting from individual to interdependence. My self-reflection practice is deepening my listening and thoughtfulness.

— I learned that practice is our ground that we keep coming back to. That practice shapes how we arrive in any situation.

— It can be funny to see how something has grabbed my attention and my sanity. Observing these phenomena through study, meditation and awareness training has given me a new ability to listen, participate and let go with greater awareness.

— Participating in Small Sangha has opened my practice in new, challenging, and exciting ways. It’s helped me deepen my commitments; expand my understanding of the dharma; embrace curiosity and not knowing; and see possibilities and truths that were not available to me before beginning this work.
