Sangha

Meeting Locations

HT Sangha gatherings take place in two locations throughout the year:

• Light on the Hill Hillside House—291 Blake Hill Rd., Van Etten
• The Quaker Meetinghouse—120 3rd St. (corner of Madison and 3rd), Ithaca

Joining the Sangha is a Commitment

HT Sangha members are expected to engage in daily meditation/prayer. Members’ daily practice, as well as attendance at retreats, will help deepen and enrich the Sangha discussions. All members of the HT Sangha are asked to commit to attend:

• Four one-day programs (9:00 a.m.—1:00 p.m.) throughout the year. The one-day programs begin with a long meditation and reading, followed by discussion on the reading or members’ spiritual lives and the challenges they face. Sangha members are asked to bring their lunches and are encouraged to eat together after the morning session. Meetings take place at Light on the Hill Hillside House.
• Ten monthly Sangha gatherings (if possible) from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Quaker Meetinghouse. Music for settling in begins at 5:15 pm. The gatherings take place on the 4th Thursday of each month. (We do not meet in November or December due to the winter holidays.) Monthly gatherings include a long meditation, reading or exercise, and discussion.
• At least one spiritual retreat during the year (of your choosing). Members are encouraged to attend the three-day Hidden Treasure graduate retreat on April 13-16, 2023. Cost TBA.

The cost for the year is $200 for the 4 Saturday and 10 Thursday meetings. This can be paid in September or over several months. The cost includes rental space for both LOH facilities including Hillside House and the Quaker Meetinghouse.
