It is our belief that often in society, we do not take the time to be spiritual and pause to understand the connection we have to the Goddess and God. In such cultures as in India and Asia or in paths of enlightenment such as Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, or Zen, there is a "built-in" time in spiritual life to be spiritual and refect on the power that humans have and how we are connected to something greater than ourselves. For this reason, The Coven of Sangha-Sho stresses the need to live a Wiccan life, rather than just practicing Wicca. One of our objectives is to understand that we are connected to each other and that we continue to live according to the tradition of Sangha-Sho.
Although we are not an Eastern Coven, we do allow for a strong influence from the Eastern School of Thought because of the reasons aformentioned; those societies already live spiritually.
