Testimonials
"The White Forest Sangha and its members gave me a warm welcome as someone new to the practice of meditation. I quickly learned how to sit still and be calm even with all my thoughts and worries. This has allowed me to be a better member of my community, a better worker, and a better father. I am grateful for what I have learned."
