Inclusion and Equity

White Heron Sangha respectfully acknowledges the Northern Chumash people who have stewarded the land for thousands of years and who continue to live in the San Luis Obispo county area.

As a Buddhist Sangha, we aspire to cultivate an environment of friendliness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity towards all beings. Embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion honors the vast range of human experience. In this ongoing process, we humbly open our doors and hearts to learn from and understand one another.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee Mission Statement: We aspire to cultivate a welcoming atmosphere for all people and to reduce barriers to inclusion. All social identities including all races, classes, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, spiritual traditions, abilities, cultures and ethnicities are welcome.

We encourage you to share any feedback or suggestions on how participation in the sangha can become more accessible and inclusive. Please email Nisa King, DEI Committee Chairperson, at nisaking88@gmail.com.

Information for Newcomers

Everyone is welcome at White Heron Sangha.

Sunday programs, sitting meditation groups and some classes include a sitting meditation practice. Instructions are sometimes given by those leading the event and while it is not required, Meditation instruction is available to those not familiar with the practice.

Chairs and meditation cushions (zafus and zabutons) are available at the Center or you may bring your own. Many people like to remove their shoes on entering the meditation area, however this is not mandatory. A shelf for shoes is located near the entrance.

The Center is a short distance from the parking lot and is ADA accessible. No dogs are allowed in the building except for trained service dogs in ADA-specified service.

In-person meetings are held in a fragrance-free environment. Your cooperation is appreciated.

For information see Ways To Be Involved.
