Our mission
Founded in 2014 by Daniel Sutton-Johanson, with the help of local practitioners, Southsea Sangha is passionate about inclusive community building, around the intersections of meditation, dharma, social justice and collective freedom.
We are committed to what bell hooks named as “Spirit, Struggle, Service & Love”, values the Buddha also taught to motivate progressive and compassionate social change.
A key driver for our community is to broaden access to spiritual community practice and therefore, a principle tenet of our community has and continues to be, that of a generosity ethic.
This allows us to disrupt, and where possible, remove the transactional barriers many folks face when wishing to explore personal wellbeing and healing work within spiritual practices and wisdom traditions that acknowledge the social and political contexts in which we encounter them.
10 years together.
We are so grateful for the overwhelming support over the last decade, from all the teachers, volunteers and practitioners who have helped create our shared vision of a spiritual community and home.
May it be sustained by this kindness and care.
May we continue to strengthen our understanding of ourselves, both individually and collectively for the benefits of all beings, in all direction
