Offering Mindfulness Meditation in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh

Peaceful Refuge Sangha in Ashland, Oregon offers mindfulness meditation in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen monk, teacher and peace activist. Ashland is located in Southern Oregon, in the beautiful Rogue Valley. All are welcome to attend our weekly meditation gatherings, and to join in classes and special events when available.

Mission Statement

We come together to practice the art of mindful living, building community through learning to be fully present to ourselves, one another, and our world. People from all backgrounds and at all stages of their spiritual journey are welcome to visit occasionally or to attend regularly.

Theme of Practice, 2025

Peaceful Refuge Sangha and Tiger Mountain Sangha

Welcome Everything

Sit quietly, settling your body and mind. Now, invite the phrase, “Welcome Everything.” What happens in your body? What thoughts and feelings arise?

This invitation is the doorway to self-knowledge and to learning how to respond to life as awakened beings. Through this exploration together, our sangha continues to weave a strong and beautiful fabric of love that can anchor us through any challenge and train us to be agents of evolutionary consciousness.

Dharma teacher Barbara Casey will offer teachings each quarter of 2025 as we embark on this journey of awakening together. The first talk will be offered on Tuesday, February 18.
