Community Gatherings

MONTHLY COMMUNITY GATHERING, CHANTING CIRCLE, MEDITATION GATHERING

“Community is a safe space where we grow individually and together”

Thursday Evenings CET

Alternating gatherings bi-weekly.

[IN-PERSON + ONLINE via live streaming]*


Community is a central part of everything we do at STAMBHA. It is family.

And we are deeply honored to hold space for everyone seeking meaningful connections.


We offer 3 types of gatherings alternating bi-weekly on Thursday evenings CET.

  • Stambha-Tunes Chanting Circle 19:00-20:30 CET [In-person + Online]*

  • Neelakantha Meditation Gathering 20:30-21:30 CET [In-person + Online]*

  • Monthly Community Gathering 19:30-21:30 CET [In-person + Online]*

(If you’re joining the community gathering in person, you are most welcome to come in as of 19:00 to enjoy some social time and light snacks. The Satsang starts at 19:30 together with our online friends.)

*Currently our gatherings are mostly offered only [ONLINE]. Please check the detailed schedule below corresponding to specific dates. The modality of the specific gathering is noted in the title in the schedule.


Our Community Gatherings were born out of the strong desire to create a platform where togetherness becomes effortless and nourishing. A space to reconnect with our study companions and friends, and to meet new souls stepping into the STAMBHA world for the first time.


In each gathering we also curate specific topics and content, with the intention to provide a more immersive experience into who we are and the essence of our work.

We want to share our stories, our passion and our values whilst creating a space for collaborative learning and active participation.

We aim to nourish the seed that brought you to STAMBHA in the first place.


The magic formula is that we meet about twice a month with alternating gatherings.

The Monthly Community Gatherings are usually on the last Thursday of the month and the Chanting Circles & Meditation Gatherings are usually on the second Thursday of the month, depending on the month and the holiday seasons etc. When we have significant events for our community like MAGIC RIDE Intensives, the gatherings that fall on that specific week are skipped.

We look forward to seeing you and to enjoy precious time together!
