MEDITATION RETREAT RESOURCES
WEDNESDAY SIT
​
Weekly In-Person Sit Details
​
When: Wednesday evenings from 5:30 - 6:45 pm
​
Where: Open Door Meditation Community, 160 Presumpscot Street, Suite 2D, Portland, ME 04103
​
​
​
Group sits begin at 5:30 pm and are led by Dharma Leaders or Community Volunteers. Depending on who is leading the evening, it may include a guided or silent sit, a Dharma talk or reading, and breakout groups to allow for interaction and opportunities to share our practice with each other. The evening ends at 6:45 pm.
We are currently without a permanent space, but will keep everyone updated via our weekly email. Sign up for our mailing list to get weekly sit reminders to the in-person and virtual sits with the Zoom link to our Tuesday Sits delivered right to your inbox.
​
Open Door operates on a Dana (or generosity) basis; there are no fees charged for any programs offered. Operating in this way allows equal access to the Buddha’s teachings and aligns Open Door with the foundational Buddhist principle and practice of generosity—which may take the form of offering money to the organization to cover expenses, to the teacher to support their livelihood, or contributing by volunteering on a committee.
All experience levels are welcome. ​
