Welcome to Ghaf Tree Sangha: our Dubai based community! The Ghaf is a beautiful evergreen desert tree that is the national tree of the UAE and symbolizes stability and peace.

We have been hosting Sangha Stories in Dubai since 2019. Sangha Stories are typically two-hour weekly sessions for children up to 10 years old, depending on the session plan. Children meet new friends, play fun games and enjoy wonderful stories from around the world, all the while learning the art of mindfulness!
