InterSangha

Sangha Leadership


If you are a teacher, sangha leader or part of a stewardship team of an Insight meditation/Vipassana sangha of any size anywhere, this is your page.
 

The Buddhist Insight Network helps local sanghas in your endeavor to share the dhamma, build community, and develop in a way that is supportive to your group members and consistent with the dharma.

As a small all-volunteer organization, we rely on your participation to make this resource meaningful.

Discussion

You are invited to join in an ongoing discussion with many other sangha leaders and teachers with common concerns. We have an Intersangha Google email group that you are welcome to join by contacting us here.

 

Monthly Intersangha Teas
Join the Intersangha to receive invitations to these freewheeling discussions on Zoom. Insight teachers, sangha leaders, and retreat managers together create a rich informative conversation rooted in whatever is important to them right now. These meetings are recorded for those members of the Intersangha who are not able to attend. 
 

Guidance

If you would like more help with any aspect of sangha management, consider contacting the past board president of BIN, Kim Allen, to consult. 

Here is Kim's advice regarding transitioning when elder teachers retire.
