"The Buddha made the sangha, the spiritual community, one of the three cornerstones of his path; and Christ told his disciples, "When two or more are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." As these words imply, a group practicing together creates a mystical field, a field of grace." Dailyinsight

I have been thinking about having a monthly small group from our church at our house. I was thinking of something similiar to the satsang that we have attended a few times practicing in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. This last year we talked about a Discipleship Pathway at our church. One of the areas that could be expanded is small groups. Then I thought about my feelings about being a leader but not being nourished at church. Maybe this coming year will be the opportune time for this.

"All it takes is
(1) a decision to have a spiritual dialogue;
(2) some sublime and true words to spark your insight; and
(3) a shared agreement on the ground rules."
