Amida Mosaic Sangha
About the Amida Mosaic Sangha
The Amida Mosaic Sangha is a community of spiritual friends. Amida Mosaic Sangha activities are held in London Ontario under the leadership of Prajnatara T. Bryant, a Gankonin with the Amida Order. With time, it is expected that varying kinds of community leadership and support will naturally emerge out of the Amida Mosaic Sangha membership.
In a Buddhist Sangha there is a place for everyone - those who are dedicated, those who feel a need to be on the fringe, those who consider themselves Buddhist, and those who are of another or no faith tradition but feel an affinity toward Buddhism. You are all welcome! Click here to read our value statement.

Special Events/Retreats
Opportunity to receive Healing Touch from Sangha member Mia Muller
Mia Muller was born in the Year of the Monkey and has been a member of the Amida
Mosaic Sangha since fall 2009. As part of community building and service, Mia
would now like to share her gift of HEALING TOUCH which is an energy based
therapeutic approach to healing the whole person: physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually. HEALING TOUCH gently influences the energy system
to create balance and wellness, thus activating the self-healing response. An
increased sense of peace occurs after a treatment.
