FREE Weekly Worldwide Online Sit
Every Thursday, 12:15 - 12:45PM US Eastern Time


I’d like to applaud the effort—and the love behind it—on the part of Rebecca Eldridge and Margaret Fletcher to develop and host an online, totally free opportunity for people to come together each week and sit. Even though people tune in from all over the world, there is a feeling of intimacy and deep connection among the participants, because that intimacy is intrinsic to the human heart and mindfulness practice itself. I am grateful that East Coast Mindfulness is offering this opportunity to practice together every week via the Worldwide Online Sit. It has a beyond time and space element to it that is very powerful and restorative.  I plan to join in when I can.

What is the Worldwide Online Sit?

Listen to participants describe it, in their own words.

After completing mindfulness courses, students often ask—

"Is there a group I can connect with on a regular basis to help maintain and deepen my mindfulness practice?"

Rebecca started a weekly global online gathering during her time at the Center for Mindfulness precisely to address this need. Now the tradition continues at East Coast Mindfulness as the Worldwide Online Sit—a weekly gathering offered free of charge to all who have completed an MBSR or MBCT course, or who already have an established mindfulness practice.

Over the course of a 30-minute session, a teaching is offered, followed by meditation (the "sit," silent or guided) and optional group sharing.

The session is held every Thursday, 12:15 - 12:45PM US Eastern Time.
