Rooted in Dharma. Sustained by Generosity.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
At Assaya Sangha, we believe in the power of the Dharma, community practice, compassion, and the sacred refuge women find in one another. Your generosity sustains a spiritual home where women can rest, heal, reconnect, and grow along the Buddhist path of awakening.
As a cooperatively supported sangha, every offering is an act of dana — a practice of giving that nourishes spiritual freedom and collective wellbeing.
Your support today helps ensure we continue providing practice spaces, teachings, and belonging — now and into the future.
Why Your Support Matters
Women today carry profound emotional, societal, and caregiving burdens. They deserve a refuge — a place to breathe, soften, be held, and awaken.
Your gift helps us build a world where:
- Women have space to rest and re-center
- Grief, stress, and life transitions are met with compassion
- Buddhist teachings are shared through female-centered wisdom
- Belonging is not just offered — it is lived

OUR ASSAYA SANGHA STORY
Your Support Helps Us…
- Serve 200+ women annually through meditation practices, retreats, and educational programs
- Offer programs that uplift mental and spiritual wellbeing
- Provide accessible retreats and community healing spaces
- Train & uplift female Buddhist leaders and teachers
Assaya Sangha started as a conversation between five women who wanted to know what a Dharma community might look like if envisioned and run by women for women. We launched Assaya Sangha almost three years ago, the week before the state went into full lockdown due to the pandemic. Since that time, our sangha has grown thanks to the many dedicated hours of our volunteers, teachers, and a very supportive community.
Perhaps most importantly, we’ve been a steady spiritual home to women through a time of great global challenge and grief. We have thrived during this time because of the tender hearts and collective wisdom that guides this community. We are so fortunate, and we are just getting started!
"The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned." - Maya Angelou
