This was a unanimous decision made by the board. It was a very difficult decision, and we are very saddened by it. It was a great joy to see familiar faces, and share the energy of sitting together these past months. Unfortunately, due to the new Delta variant, we are struggling with maintaining enough volunteers to consistently hold in person/hybrid meetings.
Unforeseen absences of critical volunteer roles combined with a shortage of available substitutes, has caused us to think hard about what is sustainable for our sangha to offer at this time and has resulted in our decision to return to online programming.

About Sbmg
Report
Sacramento Buddhist Meditation Group (SBMG) began in 1991 when a few people, responding to the onset of the first Iraq War, began to meet regularly in each others' living rooms to study Buddhist meditation and teachings from all lineages. Today, SBMG meets as a thriving and diverse peer-led sangha (spiritual community), whose operation is collaborative, non-hierarchical, and consensus-based.

Volunteering
Report
The Sacramento Buddhist Meditation Group functions through our members' practice of service to the community. We strive to cultivate a culture of volunteering amongst new and old alike. Volunteering is a fun way for new members to find their way into the community, and an opportunity to "give back" for those who have limited financial means or want to express their gratitude.
