Meditation Sitting Groups, Sanghas, and Practice Centers in Maine

1. Hello,

   My name is David Stringham (MPH, MSW), and I am a private coach and counselor who specializes in one-on-one mindfulness meditation training and retreats. Although I’m located in New Hampshire, I travel around the U.S. to take my practice wherever my clients are most comfortable, including to my close neighbor Maine.

   I think that my service might be a good fit for a listing on this page since I would be happy to come to clients in Maine. My site is http://stillwater-counseling.com/, and you can read about my mindfulness meditation services at this url:

   I look forward to hearing back from you.

   Best Regards,

   David

5. Guided Buddhist Meditation Class every Thursday at Spiral Tree Yoga Studio in Portland.
   7:10-8:00 pm – Free (donations welcome)

   I’ve been practicing Buddhist meditation for over 13 years in the Theravada (vipassana), Zen, and Tibetan traditions of Buddhism. I’m a former board member of the Insight Meditation Society and a current disciple of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. The class is a synthesis of the techniques of these traditions in order to develop greater peace, love, and wisdom in our modern lives.
