Sangha 2 and Celebration of Dan’s 80th Birthday
July 12-14, 2024
A Sangha is a gathering of like minded people in a Spiritual Community at which you may find and meet “exquisite friends”. Last year’s gathering spawned many deep and lasting friendships and we are so excited to be holding it again. All are welcomed, you need not be ordained. No ordinations are scheduled for this event.
Bring your voices, horns, bells, whistles, drums, etc., as we will be celebrating Dan’s 80th birthday. (His actual birthday is 8/22/1944).
