You may be bored, tired, stressed, content, elated, or even in bliss. Everyone goes through these ups and downs in life. Attending group sits helps keep your life a little more balanced and peaceful. One of the main parts of our practice is Sangha, or community. Although you must do your own work, being part of a group sit can really help .
Group sits are usually one hour long and are held regularly in a local old student's house.
By sitting with the same people every week or every month, you develop support and overcome any feelings of isolation. Others out there are doing what I do. It feels good to sit with others and share metta. For new students, we talk a lot about giving a trial to this technique. In that spirit, we encourage you to give group sittings a trial.
