Every Friday from 6:30 – 7:30 PM

Decompress and connect at the end of your work week with meditation practice and community. This event is in partnership with the Young Meditators Group of Portland.

This open session offers 20 minutes of silent meditation followed by a meditative talking circle practice, and the opportunity to connect and socialize afterwards at a local pub.

No experience required, and meditators of all traditions are welcome.

Cushions will be provided but feel free to bring your own.
