Springboard Meditation Sangha

Springboard Meditation Sangha (SMS) is a supportive and welcoming meditation community (sangha) that intends to support the deepening of individual practice and to awaken mindfulness and compassion for the benefit of all beings.

The sangha was established to provide a nondenominational meditation space, oriented to Buddhist practitioners, but welcoming anyone wanting to practice meditation in community.

Springboard Meditation Sangha originated in Philadelphia's Mt. Airy neighborhood, and currently offers many practice and discussion opportunities online, as well as in-person gatherings throughout the year. All online offerings are free of charge and open to the public. Please see our schedule for in-person events, and our calendar for our online offerings.

Springboard Meditation Sangha was incorporated in 2011, as a lay non-profit Buddhist organization (501c3) with Brian Arnell as the Senior Teacher.
