About Wake Up Boston
Wake Up Sanghas are communities of practice for younger practitioners (typically age 18-35ish) in the Plum Village tradition, as taught by the late Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. A Sangha gathers regularly to practice sitting and walking meditation, and study and discuss the way of living our daily lives in love, peace, and happiness.
We currently gather in the evening on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays and the 2nd Sunday of every month, at Orange Door Collaborative, 763 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139. We have been meeting regularly since May 17, 2023.

We pay $60 per session to rent our meeting space Orange Door Collaborative. If you are moved to and are able to contribute to our rent, you can send a donation via Venmo to @anhpn19.

As always, your presence and practice is a great gift to our community. One is never expected to make any financial contribution to practice with us.

"It is love that can help you transcend fear and isolation. It is understanding that can bring you to the heart of humanity, life, and the cosmos. Understanding and love will open you up to the real situation of society and the planet, and will guide you in your choices." - Thich Nhat Hanh
