The practice of meditation is central to the mission of Wainwright House. Encouraging regular meditation practice in our beautiful wood-paneled Meditation Room overlooking the harbor, or in our Meditation Garden, is one of the ways we serve the community.
If you enjoy meditation practice at Wainwright House and plan to come regularly, please become a Wainwright House Friend. For Wainwright Friends, suggested donation is $5 for each meditation session if you are able. If you are not a supporter or Friend, we suggest a $10 donation for each meditation session to help support Wainwright House if you are able. Please try a meditation session first before donating.
Occasionally the schedule changes due to holidays. Call if you are unsure about the schedule. The Healing Circle Meditation Group no longer meets at Wainwright House. Please try our Mindful Meditation Group or one of our meditation programs. Call Program Director Diane Negvesky at 914-967-6080 ext. 102 if you would like more information. |

Facilitated practice of Mindful Meditation for is for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Each session includes sitting and walking meditation, breathe awareness, deep listening, dharma reading and discussion, and being joyful together. We occasionally meet on weekends for caretaking, deepening our practice, and building community. Chairs and some cushions will be available. If you have a sitting cushion, please bring it. Wear comfortable clothing and please do not wear fragrances.
The practice of mindfulness is inspired by the teachings and practice of Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. The Community of Mindfulness New York, of which Quiet Harbor Sangha is a part, belongs to a wide network of national and international sanghas [communities]: a "fourfold community" of laywomen and laymen, nuns and monks.
