Community is perhaps one of the most universal needs of human beings - some of them we choose, some come to us. Community also means nurturing human connection. Communities continue to play a significant role in the journeys of individuals, as a space of collective learning, healing, and bringing change for ages. They are also a place where one can fulfill one's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Buddhists believe in the structure of “Three Jewels” for their lives. The first jewel is the Budhha, which means enlightened to the true nature and potential of life.; the second jewel is the Buddha’s teachings known as “dharma” - wisdom, kindness, patience, generosity, and compassion as important virtues and the Third Jewel have been the Sangha - A Community.

This unprecedented year also surfaced the importance of this connection within communities and a need to nurture it continuously. Hence, at Alumni Week, we invite you home to the Youth Alliance community. where we have curated a journey on the theme of "Community With-in Chaos ". The intention is to experience the sacred connections, have satsang and swadhaya on various themes related to communities, and also share spaces of release, creativity, and joy.
