East Wing Sitting Group

The sitting group meets every 2 weeks on a Sunday afternoon between 3 and 5pm. Meditation instruction is always given if anyone is unsure.

East Wing is affiliated with Bread Loaf Mountain Zen Community and Zen Peacemakers International.

Our format for the afternoon is simple. We engage in meditation for an hour – both sitting and walking. This is followed by a discussion, inspired by an essay or article chosen for its interest and study point. They often focus on compassionate engagement and how to apply some of these ideas and contemplations in day to day living. The group (or Sangha, as it’s known in Zen) is continually engaged in a number of compassionate community projects. If you would like to be on our mailing list please email us.
