Il Sanghone

Today’s society pushes us toward productivity, performance and consumption, leaving little room for the care of ourselves, of others and of the environment. Il Sanghone exists to grow a communal fabric in which contemplative practice is woven into everyday life — into relationships, work, and rest — drawing on the Sōtō Zen tradition in a lay, accessible form.

The name plays on “sangha” — the community of practice — and the Italian augmentative suffix “-one”: il Sanghone is a big, welcoming community with wide, open boundaries.

This site supports the project’s development: a blog as an editorial aggregator, open to friends and collaborators, to spread and evolve the dharma for our time — alongside sources, reading and events.
