Sit Club with Davin Youngs
Born out of the pandemic, Sit Club began in September of 2020 and continues every Sunday morning at 10am CT. Typically an hour in length, an intimate group of all ages, genders and races, from all over the world gathers on Zoom to sit in guided meditation, contemplate a reading and then share in conversation. Each gathering is centered around a spiritual theme chosen and guided by Davin. Buddhism is often the framework through which the readings and practices are approached, but no particular religious or philosophical ideology is subscribed to.
There are no requirements, special skills or abilities that are necessary to attend. Just an open heart and a desire to connect with a community of seekers.
