the Sunset
Listening Club

sitting and listening

The Sunset Listening Club is a monthly meditative opportunity in Portland, Oregon.  Held at the We Touch the Earth space, this is a chance to sit and meditate with a small group in a beautiful space.  All are welcome. 

We’ll be sitting together the first Wednesday of each month. A limited amount of seating is available at 10.00 and sliding scale. Signup HERE on the WTtE calendar.

We’ll begin with a couple songs for you to get into your place and establish a feel for the room. Midway, we’ll break for tea and conversation before returning to a closing meditation. 

If you do not have an established meditative practice, no problem! If you are able to sit in inner contemplation while listening and sipping tea, and curious about the aspects of meditation, please join.

About me – I am Matthew Pierce, your host and one of the founding members of We Touch the Earth. I’ve had an unfolding meditation practice for more than 20 years, and have found profound enjoyment and joy when combining it with the right music.
