Faces
of the
Sangha



The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and IT committees are launching a sangha-wide project: Faces of the Sangha, featuring individual photos with responses to, What does White Heron Sangha mean to you?” The idea came about as an effort to inspire inclusion and interconnection.

To initiate the project, DEI committee members’ photos and responses are shown here. All are welcome to participate! We invite you to have your picture taken and to let us know what the sangha means to you. There will be several photo opportunities before and after upcoming Sunday Programs.
