Be sure to sign up for our next retreat on June 3-4 at the Allen Avenue Unitarian Church in Portland. Our teacher, Chas DiCapua, will lead us in person on Friday evening and Saturday. For more information and to register, go to our website: https://www.opendoorportland.org/upcoming

Please join us on Tuesday, March 1st at 6:30 p.m. ET for a special Tuesday night sit.

After a 30-minute sit with our guiding teacher Chas, we will hold facilitated conversations via Zoom breakout rooms to explore these and other questions:
Given our current Tuesday night structure, what is working/not working for you?
What suggestions do you have for Tuesday nights, retreats, and/or other programming you’d like to see offered?

Your input is so important to us. We hope you can make it.

*And*... our sit on Tuesday March 8th will have an in-person option!

The Steering Circle has been hard at work over the last year trying to find a new place for us to meet in-person for our weekly practice.

Next Tuesday, we invite you to come and help us try out a possible meeting space at the East End Community Center* in Portland.

When: Tuesday, March 8th
Time: 6:30 p.m. ET
Where (in-person): East End Community Center
195 North Street
Portland, ME
Or join us virtually: Zoom link to be provided

Our guiding teacher, Chas DiCapua, will lead the sit via Zoom; participants may choose to gather in-person or you can join us over Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to the community, as usual, on March 8th.

We will start at 6:30 pm. If you are able to come a few minutes early or stay after to volunteer with set-up and break-down, that would be much appreciated.

*Covid protocols will be followed.

September marks the beginning of a new chapter for Open Door. Starting this Tuesday 9/7, our community will meet to sit together every Tuesday, 6:30 - 8 P.M. ET, guided by our new teacher Chas DiCapua.

The safety of our community is deeply important to us so we will continue to meet virtually, over Zoom, until it is safe to once again gather in person.
