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 Teresa Bryant, an Aspirant 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!

They are particularly skilled in the areas of mindfulness, body awareness, meditation and spiritual inquiry. Buddhist Spiritual Directors often encourage the use of awareness practices as a way of understanding the self and moving beyond the self.

She has worked in the areas of counselling, meditation instruction and pastoral ministry in university, hospital and community settings for over 25 years. She currently works part-time as a psychological counsellor at King’s University College, UWO, is the founder of Mosaic Retreats and is training to be a Ganko-Sha (ordained Buddhist Minister) with the Amida Buddha Order, England.
