What is a Sangha? Sangha is a Sanskrit word that can loosely be understood as practitioners who gather together in a supportive and gentle community with intentions of cultivating insight, wisdom, and connection. Both experienced and beginner practitioners are welcome. If you have no prior meditation experience it is suggested that you attend several free guided drop-ins to help support your Sangha practice.

1. Please arrive in gentle silence as those in attendance will already be in meditation practice. 
2. You can begin your non-guided practice when you arrive. 
3. It is suggested that you leave your camera on during silent sits to support the experience of practicing in community. However, if this is not possible or skillful, please do give yourself permission to turn your camera off. ​

Just being in the presence of Ali is like meditation. I am grateful for his excellent teaching." - Julie Wheeler (Pomona, CA)

Through Dr. Ali’s MAP 1 class and his drop-in sessions, I have become more patient with myself and others, and much less reactive.  I have used the tools learned from him to deal with anxiety and pain, and have longer daily periods of feeling at peace. I value that he teaches by focusing on experiential practice while weaving in valuable information. He is generous of spirit and time, and seems very committed to his and his students’ mindfulness development. I am deeply grateful for his teachings and guidance.” - H.C. (Long Beach, CA)
