About First Light Sangha

We are a group of people on Cape Cod who practice mindfulness and meditation in the Plum Village tradition of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Everyone is welcome, from all backgrounds and root traditions. No experience with meditation is necessary.

First Light Sangha was created in 2012 to offer the practice of mindfulness and meditation in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn to the Lower and Outer Cape community. The name 'First Light' honors the First People of Cape Cod, the Wampanoag Tribe, on whose traditional unceded territory we live.

We meet weekly each Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 PM with time for meditation, readings, Dharma talks and personal reflection that support and nourish each other in our daily life practice. We aspire to realize true understanding of and love for ourselves, each other, and the world by transforming our seeds of suffering, cultivating seeds of peace, and being joyfully together.
