There are more than a dozen Thich Nhat Hanh sitting groups or sanghas (the Pali word for community) in the Bay Area. This list will help you find them or this searchable directory. I can personally recommend:
- New Generation Sangha (Berkeley, Oakland)
- Potluck Sangha (Oakland Hills)
- Open Door Sangha (Berkeley, Oakland)
- Buckeye Sangha (North Berkeley)
Sundays 7:00-9:00pm

The East Bay Meditation Center (EBMC) is an independent center located in downtown Oakland, at 285 17th Street at Harrison, just 3 blocks from the 19th Street BART station. We offer meditation training and spiritual teachings from Buddhist and other wisdom traditions, with attention to social action, multiculturalism, and the diverse populations of the East Bay and beyond.
