All Day Sits


we held a Half Day Sit at Little Chapel
on Saturday morning, January 17
please stay tuned for announcements of spring half day or all day sits


If you're interested in joining us, or learning more, please email

Our typical schedule for a half day sit:

We start at 9 and end at 12, followed by a vegetarian potluck lunch from 12-1. Part time attendance is fine, though joining us for the whole sit is great.

We alternate 25 minute sits with 5 minute walking meditations. It’s fine to sit in a chair, or switch between chair and cushion.

In the morning, a long outdoor walk (weather permitting) replaces one of the sits. There’s also a Sutra Service in place of one sitting period.
