Sangha · The circle
Practice with company.
Sangha — in Sanskrit, a community gathered around a practice. The Anahata Sangha is small, quiet, and free to follow. New entries appear on the journal; gathering and retreat notices go out on Instagram and WhatsApp.
What the Sangha is
A practice grows in the company of others. Not a class, not a forum, not a Slack group — just a small circle of people who share an interest in the work and want to hear from time to time what's happening at the studio.
For now, the Sangha is intentionally low-tech — no email list, no app, no notifications. You stay in the circle by:
- The Journal — short reflections from Shefali. New entries appear on the site about once a month. Bookmark the Journal or check in when you think of it.
- Instagram — gathering invitations and small notes go out on Instagram first. Follow @anahata.healingstudio.
- WhatsApp — for direct questions, scheduling, or to ask to be notified about the next gathering — message us.
- Sangha gatherings — occasional informal in-person sittings — quiet group meditations, a tea evening, a reading circle. Three or four times a year, by invitation. Always free.
- Retreat notice — when retreats are offered (currently in planning), Instagram and WhatsApp hear first.
What it isn't
- Not a paid membership. There may be paid tiers in the future for people who want deeper involvement (priority booking, included sessions, retreats). For now, the Sangha is one tier and it's free.
- Not an email list. No signup form, no subscription. Follow on Instagram, message on WhatsApp, or simply bookmark the journal.
- Not a marketing channel. Posts and messages stay rare and quiet. No promotions, no funnel.
Follow along
Three ways to stay in the circle. Pick whichever fits how you already keep in touch with the people whose work you care about.
