We have more than 40 sanghas in nine countries around the world who meet regularly in person and online via Zoom. The Global Sanghas are led by teachers in Lama Tsultrim’s lineage and by appointed facilitators. See the list below to connect with one of our sanghas near you. Through our online Community Network, our sangha members continue their engagement with each other and create a web of interconnected practitioners, just as Lama Tsultrim envisioned. The Global Tara Mandala Sanghas also host book studies, and local online and in-person retreats featuring our teachers. See the calendar link to connect with the Global Sanghas in person or online.
If you are interested in starting a Global Sangha or have questions please contact us on this page for more information.
