Tuesday Evenings in the Yellow Barn
7:30-9 p.m.
During its ninety-minute program, this informal contemplative group practices sitting and walking meditation in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and other Buddhist teachers. We have dharma readings and reflections and we close with a circle of gratitude and requests for healing. The Sangha meets Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the Yellow Barn. Our practice space is lit by candles, and during the winter we often have a log fire. Guests are welcome at any time. Our facilitators are available to talk with you about any practice questions you may have. Sitting and walking together is a very nourishing experience, and we welcome your participation.
Our facilitators are:
Denise Glover
Wil Kirk
Jeff Padawer

Meditation Practice at Home
(a brief guide to support your sitting practice at home)
"Building a Sangha is like planting a sunflower. We need to be aware of which conditions will support the flower's growth and which conditions will obstruct its growth. We need healthy seeds, skilled gardeners, and plenty of sunshine and room to grow. When we engage in Sangha building, the most important thing to remember is that we are doing it together. The more we embrace the Sangha, the more we can let go of the feeling of a separate self. We can relax into the collective wisdom and insights of the Sangha. We can see clearly that the Sangha eyes and hands and heart are greater than that of any individual member of the Sangha."
- Thich Nhat Hanh
