Sati Sangha

Sati Sangha Director, Lead Meditation and Dharma Teacher, and Council Member

Linda Modaro is the founder and lead teacher at Sati Sangha, a vibrant online meditation community that offers daily virtual meditation sittings and online retreats throughout the year. Linda and Sati Sangha collaborate with Nelly Kaufer of Pine Street Sangha to creatively evolve the practice and the ways it is offered. Their 2023 creation is their co-authored book – Reflective Meditation: cultivating kindness and curiosity in the Buddha’s company. During the height of the pandemic in 2020 their sanghas meet daily online to practice Reflective Meditation – Piti Sangha, their shared community, was born and continues to meet daily. As a leader, Linda is accountable to the Sati Sangha Council members, her mentees, and her students as well as to a peer group of teachers. Her self-care includes walking in nature, singing, line dancing, reading, and individual therapy. Her history: Linda began teaching Buddhist meditation in 2008 after she completed her intensive training for meditation and dharma teaching in Recollective Awareness Meditation. Previous to that, she had a thriving acupuncture practice in Santa Monica, California, for more than 20 years. A master of Qi Gong, Linda also created a best-selling, four-part instructive Qi Gong video series called Discovering Chi: Energy Exercises (offered freely on the Sati Sangha website).
