SF Dharma Collective

San Francisco Dharma Collective is a sangha-led meditation center with sits, classes, and events every week. All are welcome!

All of our events are online at: https://linktr.ee/sfdharmacollective

12/31/2025

Every class, every event, and every gathering is made possible by our volunteers. Our leadership is made entirely of volunteers. Almost every single aspect of keeping the doors open here is managed by volunteers.

This space functions because of collective effort and shared responsibility. This generosity of time and labor makes possible the incredible community we’ve been able to create since we formed in 2019.

So, to our volunteers, sangha, teachers, and everyone else who makes this refuge possible: Thank you, and Happy New Year.

Join us at 2929 24th Street as we put together care packages for the homeless. We will stuff bags with things that homeless tend to need, socks, hand warmers, hats, etc.

Date: Tuesday, December 30
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Location: 2929 24th Street, San Francisco

🧤 You are welcome to take some of the bags to hand out (and we’d prefer you take at least a few).

🧤 We already have:
- hats, gloves, and socks
- hand warmers
- power bars

🧤 If you can get things in bulk (we’ll probably stuff about 180 bags), here are some things that might be useful:
- aspirin (or similar)
- cough drops
- earplugs
- rain ponchos
- feminine products
- power bars (more are better)
* Medicine should be in small packages and be individual wrapped (for example, travel sizes).

🧤 Please do not bring:
- Anything perishable (ie fruit)
- large bottles of medicine
- anything heavy (i.e. liquids)

🧤 If you choose to, you can give them out at homeless encampments or keep them in your car to hand out to folks that need help.

🧤 One important part of this work is treating everyone with dignity. Say a few kind words to everyone you interact with, wish them a better day, look them in the eye… basically just acknowledge they’re another human being with feelings and deserves to be treated with respect.

We're just trying to make the world a little better, one person at a time, doing what we can to help.

Join us for a sober welcome to 2026, with music, games, snacks, and gratitude!
We'll have an intention setting ritual as midnight approaches, then we will ring in 2026.

This event is alcohol / substance free and family friendly. Please feel free to drop in for a bit to visit or join us for the entire evening.

The Retreat - A Live Performance
Dec. 5th & 6th, 7:30pm
Written by Nicole Galland
Performed by Éowyn Mader

Meditate on this: Minutes before a 3-day silent mindfulness retreat kicks off, a close friend betrays your trust (again) and now you’re stuck in the same meditation hall and dining room and corridors with him - unable to confront him in real life and unable to stop confronting him in your imagination. Will you spend the whole weekend writing a gloriously satisfying f*ck-you letter? Or can the Retreat Support Team help you find compassionate nonattachment?

Amit and Skanda are back! Join us for Strings of Serenity, An Evening of Sarod & Tabla, on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 6pm. This concert is by donation only, and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. See you there!

Join on Saturday, Nov. 1st at 10am for important conversations in a safe space. This event is in-person only here at SFDC. Donation-only event. Free RSVP link in comments below. No one is turned away for lack of funds.

Discussions about free speech have been energized by several recent events, and untangling the web of views about what constitutes free speech can touch on our deepest feelings about our fundamental rights and responsibilities.

What is the difference between free speech and hate speech, where do we draw the line? How do the definition and our feelings differ depending on whether we agree with the views of the speaker or not? How far are we willing to defend the right for others to engage in discourse we disagree with? And how do we balance these rights with the responsibility we may feel to engage in civil discourse and bridge divides?

Please join us for a community conversation about this timely topic. During our time together, we’ll make space for each participant to share what’s most alive for them about questions such as these.

New series alert! Transforming Conflict into Connection begins Sunday, Oct. 19.

Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but how we respond to it can either create deeper understanding or drive us further apart. In this six-part series, we’ll take a deep and clear-hearted look at conflict: why it arises, how we typically respond, and how we can approach it more skillfully.

We will learn:

👉🏽 How to transform our perspective on conflicts
👉🏽 How to talk about conflict
👉🏽 How to embed the qualities of skillful speech (truthful, useful, timely, and kind)
👉🏽 How to approach resolution without compromising one’s values
👉🏽 When is it wiser to pause

San Francisco Dharma Collective is a non-profit and is supported entirely by donations. We will never turn someone away from lack of funds.

Join this one-day workshop, Just Like Me: Embracing Our Common Humanity, on Saturday, October 18th from 10am - 4pm. This workshop is in-person only here at SFDC.

Compassion educators Erika Rosenberg and Greg Morris will:

➡️ Explore common humanity - a basis for survival, healing, and growth

➡️ Offer tools, frameworks, and practices grounded in contemporary psychology, neuroscience, and meditation to help us create meaningful connections despite our differences

➡️ Include meditation, discussion, individual and small group work discussing compassion, empathy, and recognizing our own areas of resistance to change

When we learn to embrace common humanity as fully as possible, the richness of our collective human tapestry becomes our greatest asset. Just Like Me: Embracing Our Common Humanity starts and ends with the conviction that each of us is able to create connections that will create meaningful shifts in the world.
