Discover the Essence of The Bodhi House: A Sanctuary for Mindfulness
Nestled in the heart of Galveston, Texas, The Bodhi House invites you to explore a tranquil space dedicated to meditation and mindfulness. Join us for weekly gatherings and guided meditations, both in-person and online, and connect with a community that values presence, peace and sincere practice.
About The Bodhi House

The Bodhi House was born from the simple desire for meditative community (or sangha) with others—to listen inward, to reconnect, and to remember that peace is already here.
