1st & 3rd Thursday Sitting Meditation

PLEASE NOTE: As explained on the Home page, as of March 17, 2020, the 1st & 3rd Thursday Sitting Meditation gatherings are cancelled until further notice due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and the importance of maintaining social distance and avoiding non-essential gatherings. We encourage community members to practice at home and to find safe ways to support your own health and the health of other beings in need.

At this gathering on the first and third Thursday evening of each month, everyone is warmly welcome, including both experienced meditators and persons new to meditation.

We begin at 7:15 PM with 30 minutes of sitting meditation practice. Afterward, we read aloud from the work of a Dharma teacher or another relevant resource for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. After the Dharma reading, we have a 20-30 minute facilitated time for reflections and sharing about the reading and the practice. We generally finish with 1-2 minutes of sitting practice. The gathering ends at 8:45 PM.

The location of these gatherings is the Motion Center Yoga Collective, 84 Fountain Street, Pawtucket, RI 02860.

Both cushions and chairs are available for sitting.
