Sitting on Sundays started in the Fall of 2019—a weekly small group, in person practice that one participant described as “a mashup between a Quaker meeting, a Buddhist sit, an AA meeting…and a little bit of hootenanny thrown in for good measure….” In March 2020, this simple practice went online as a way to keep people connected in those pandemic-y days when connection was hard to come by…and we’ve been meeting online ever since. It’s a practice rooted in old traditions offered in a new format—traditions that give us a place to wrestle with and wonder about what it is to be human (or, really, what it is to be us) and how we might grow more good wherever we are, however we can.
As a long-time Sitter recently said: “This practice gives me hope for the world. More than that, it gives me hope for myself and the people around me…and that’s no small thing. I wish everybody had something like this to be a part of, a community like this to belong to. We’d all be better off for it.” We agree. It’s such a simple practice, really. But don’t let the simplicity fool you: these sessions are about as good for the soul as anything we’ve ever experienced.
