Assaya...

means a resting place, a shelter, a refuge, a seat

Imagine what a women’s dharma center could be like ... and help us make it a reality!

We are requesting special, one-time donations from our dedicated, growing women’s community to fund a Home of Our Own -- our own stable rental space in the East Bay -- so we can continue expanding the practice and programs our community needs. 

You can help us grow in one of these ways:

• Join the Assaya Sangha Donors' Circle with a contribution of $3,000 to fund one month’s estimated rent in our new home.
• Become an Assaya Sangha Benefactor with a contribution of $1,500 or more to fund furniture and meditation supplies in our new home.
• Join the Assaya Sangha Sponsors with a contribution of $1,000 or more to help purchase meditation chairs, tables, and kitchen supplies in our new home. 
• Become an Assaya Sangha Supporter with a donation of $500 to help defray the costs of utilities like internet service, and to help us build our reserve fund for emergencies. 
• Join the Assaya Sangha Contributors with any donation that feels right for you, adding your own generous care and energy to the growth of our Sangha.

All donations are tax-deductible, and will be gratefully received and acknowledged. 

Creating this home will be a shared act of generosity and community. Our Board of Directors will share progress, address questions and concerns, and listen deeply to our community’s hopes for this new space. 

Thank you for being part of Assaya Sangha and for joining this step into our next chapter.
