Half-Day Sit

  • Prairie Unitarian Universalist Society 2010 Whenona Drive Madison, WI, 53711 United States (map)

Co-hosted with Prairie Unitarian Universalist Society.

Our gratitude to Prairie Unitarian Universalist Society for co-sponsoring this event.  A half-day sit offers extended practice and a chance to connect with dharma friends over lunch.


We will meet at Prairie from 9am to around noon for meditation, followed by the breaking of silence and a potluck lunch. Three 45-minute silent meditation periods will be interspersed with two twenty-minute walking periods. If you cannot come for the whole time, you can come at ten or eleven and join in part of the walking period before the next sit. You should also feel free to leave at the end of any sitting if you can’t stay for the entire time.

What to bring:

—Your cushion. Chairs will be available.

—Layered clothing in case the room temperature is too hot or too cold.

—Suitable outdoor clothing if you choose to do walking meditation outdoors.

—A contribution to the potluck lunch.  A kitchen is available for storing and reheating food. Your contribution can be simple: a deli item, bread, cheese, etc. Vegetarian items are preferred.

—A small cash donation to defray the cost of renting the space.

—A mask if you wish to wear one. Face masks will be optional.

We hope you can join us. All are welcome. If you can’t make this date, we hope to plan additional sits quarterly or perhaps more frequently.
