Bhavana Learning Group offers “Small Sangha” for anyone interested in the study and practice of Buddhist psychology

Welcome to Small Sangha, Serving our Wisdom Community 

Guiding Inquiry

To discern the nature of reality as impermanent, complex, and interdependent (mutually dependent on multiple causes and conditions) and to bring spaciousness to the solid, separate, independent, and conditioned self. Then bring this awareness to our life. —Tony Zampella

In 2023, members will have the option of exploring two tracks of study and practice. Click on each track below for details:
