Saturday

Welcome to the Cedar Cabin Sangha Blog

Welcome to Cedar Cabin Sangha, a group of people who practice mindfulness and meditation in Ithaca, NY. We have been drawn together by the compassionate and peaceful teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
We meet every Wednesday from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. at Hospicare of Ithaca, 172 East King Road. We practice in the Plum Village tradition which includes guided meditation, walking meditation, a short Dharma teaching, and about twenty minutes or so of silent meditation. We also have a mindful tea ceremony followed by dharma sharing. Our weekly leaders might also share a favorite reading, poem, song or a part of a recorded Dharma talk.
Cedar Cabin Sangha includes people from all walks of life and background experience. Everyone is welcome. While some of our practitioners have very little experience, others have many years of sitting practice. We sit together with the intention of cultivating peacefulness and insight in ourselves, our families, and our society. Please join us.
Chairs are available for sitting and there is room for cushions. The floor is carpeted.
To find us at Hospicare: Being quietly mindful of the residents, enter the main door and proceed straight ahead and through the door at the far end of the sitting area. Go down the stairs and turn left. The meeting room is on the left. Please plan to arrive a little before 7:30 to find your seat. (Note: On the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month, we are asked to stay upstairs in the sitting area until another meeting has concluded, and we are notified.)
