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.)
