The St. Petersburg Sangha (members, nonmembers, and newcomers) will now gather virtually from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month via Zoom. This gathering provides attendees the opportunity for a short meditation together followed by time to share and discuss the teachings and practice of the Dharma, and to establish and re-establish Sangha friendships.  

Discussions are based on the current practices and teachings offered at FCM through Intensives, retreats and the Sunday Dharma talks of our teacher, Fred Eppsteiner and other Dharma Leaders. Occasionally established practitioners offer short talks on what they have learned through their practice. Following meditation and an overview of the topic, participants are invited to speak about the topic in the spirit of deep sharing and deep listening, in which one shares from the heart and listens with acceptance and complete presence.

Knowing how much everyone enjoys connecting with Sangha friends, those who wish to do so are invited to stay online to talk less formally after the closing bells and announcements.

If you have not participated in a Zoom program with FCM in the past, please review these guidelines and plan to join the call no later than 6:55 p.m., in order to be settled for the start in support of the group.
