Meditation, Mindfulness | Leslieville, Toronto

Spirit Loft Sangha

Spirit Loft Sangha is a community of individuals joined by the shared value of awakening to, and living, a mindful and compassionate life. The community is an independent, unaffiliated, nonsectarian sangha exploring an approach to meditation practice and the Buddha dharma (teachings for awakening) that is firmly rooted in a naturalistic, scientific, rational, and empirical understanding. An approach that has been termed Zen Naturalism.

Our group is led by studio co-director/founder Andre Talbot, a senior dharma student, mindfulness teacher and mindset/peak performance coach. Andre’s approach is informed through many years of training with the Empty Mountain Sangha and his primary teacher Poep Sa (Dharma Teacher) Frank Jude Boccio, as well as, his decades of experience leading individuals and groups in a variety of settings in the fields of human movement, embodiment and mindfulness/mindset practices.
