New Year's Sitting 2026

  • Brookings, OR 97415 (map)

*THIS SITTING WILL BE HELD IN BROOKINGS AND ON ZOOM*

Come celebrate the new year in an atmosphere of peace, brightness, and possibility! We welcome in a renewed period of activity and promise after the darkness and quiet that follow the winter solstice.

Sittings with Emily Carson are non-denominational but loosely follow the tradition of a satsang or Buddhist sitting group, informed by contemplative traditions from East and West. We begin with a brief period of silent contemplation, followed by an opening talk, after which participants are invited to ask questions either about the evening's topic or any personal spiritual concern. Emily’s talks, which can take the form of guided meditation, spiritual discourse, or prayer, are usually recorded privately and distributed as recordings. A sitting offers a rare opportunity to experience these talks first-hand, in their immediate, living form.

You’re welcome to join this hybrid event either in person in lovely Brokings, OR or online via Zoom. Doors open at 6pm, event begins at 6:15.
