Open Door Meditation Community is based in southern Maine. We meet virtually over Zoom every Tuesday and in person on Wednesdays and Sundays in Portland.

All practice levels are welcome.

Welcome

The sangha’s responses to our work on Open Door’s Guiding Principles
at our May 13 and 14 sits, as well as to the survey sent out to our mailing list,
have been compiled and synthesized.

Please join Open Door on Wednesday, August 13 in person or Tuesday, August 19 online when the Restorative Practices Committee will share
the newly approved Guiding Principles with the sangha community.

Members of the committee will offer an outline of how the Guiding Principles will be incorporated into our sangha, along with a brief overview of the committee’s ongoing work.

All are welcome to join this celebration.
