Meditate with SF Dharma Collective

"Joining SF Dharma Collective taught me that sometimes, stillness is the key to finding time and building a supportive community. This journey has helped me cultivate the virtues and mental resilience I always sought.”

"The teachers, workshops, and classes are incredible and I have so much gratitude for all of the offerings at The Dharma Collective. After years of practicing on my own, The Dharma Collective came into my awareness a couple years ago when I felt called to find sangha.

"I've been meditating for a while but never had a sangha until I started coming to the SF Dharma Collective last fall. Well of Being Wednesdays with Eve has become one of the high points of my week, and I've also participated in a number of day long retreats. The collective is a wonderful community and refuge - right on 24th street!"

“The SFDC gives me a rare and joy-filled opportunity to deepen my practice of Buddhism with its awe inspiring community of teachers and students.”

"I come here for the teachings and community. It’s a bliss to be in the Bay and we are so fortunate to have great teachers offering their teachings here at SFDC. When you come in-person and practice the community, the potency of meditation is so different from practicing alone."

"I enjoy SFDC for its great radical people where I can sit in good company."

“I really value the community of teachers and all the other folks in SFDC. It’s a lovely reminder that I’m not alone!”

"The Dharma Collective is a very welcoming and relaxing space. I really enjoy volunteering there.“

“I've noticed that attending the Dharma Collective has enhanced my overall mood in general, especially if I'm going twice a week. I regularly gain valuable insights from the classes, too.”

"The sangha at SFDC is welcoming, authentic and nurturing. Every teacher I have encountered at the collective possesses a deep wisdom of Buddhism and meditation as well as a restorative nature. SFDC is truly a blessing for the community."

"I’ve been meditating since getting sober 11 years ago and have recently found that sitting with a group has allowed me to enrich my practice immeasurably. When I moved back to SF a year ago, the dharma collective welcomed me with open arms."

"SFDC is a beautiful, fun space that brings sangha together. According to Thich Nhat Hanh, the sangha is the next Buddha, and we desperately need each other on this beautiful path to becoming bhodisattvas. The teachers are also fierce and take in account the myriad social justice issues our world is grappling with."

"SF Dharma Collective is a true gem in the heart of the city - a space of refuge, reflection, and real connection. In times when life feels especially tender and transformative, this community offers steady support and wisdom through gifted teachers and open doors. Grateful beyond words for this spiritual home-base where we can return to ourselves, together."

"I love the SFDharma Collective morning meditation sits. It’s a place for me to go and be quiet with others before I begin my day. 🙏🏽 "

"Great teachers, events and community. My practice has deepened immensely since I discovered this beautiful resource."

Since discovering SFDC, I attend every Wednesday whenever possible. This rhythm keeps me grounded and steady on my spiritual path. I’m deeply inspired by the wisdom, compassion, and generosity of the teachers, volunteers, and all who come through this community—many of whom I’m grateful to call friends.

"We're part of an intergenerational Sangha where kindness and open heartedness are guiding principles. Sylvia & I are very devoted to our teacher, Eve Ekman, a dedicated & passionate follower of Buddhist teachings who's lighting our way."

"The reason I started coming to the center was to be part of a larger community post pandemic. Also to further my meditation practice to keep me grounded among the chaos that surrounds us in this beautiful City."

"How often in life to you get to connect with a group of people who are working hard together to just be the kindest, most generous, most playfully whole and open-hearted people to they can be? To me, that’s what seems to unite the sangha at SFDC and it is incredibly inspiring and special to get to be a part of."
