Directions by train:

COMMUTER RAIL:  Wyoming Hills station (5 minute walk)
According to the map on MBTA.com it looks like the way to get to the meeting from there is:
1.    Go to Wyoming St from the stop (I think this is turning left when you come out of the station)
2.    Turn right on Wyoming
3.    Take first left onto Berwick St.
4.    Walk 4 short blocks until Berwick ends at West Foster St.
5.    Take a right on West Foster St.
6.    Go a couple hundred yards and the First Congregational Church is there at 121 West Foster St.
7.    Go to the right side of the church where the parking lot is and enter the first door on that side. We unlock it just before 7:00 usually (occasionally we're a bit late).
8.    This opens into a large meeting room. If people are in it, we just discreetly walk around them to one of the other doors - ideally the left door.
9.    The left door leads to a very large gathering area.
10.    Walk about 100' and you lounge will be on the right side, just past the sanctuary. Usually we have a small "Vital Cycles" sign outside the door.
11.    Come on in and prepare to further your healing.

Oak Grove T station (to save money and get 15+ minutes of exercise):
1.    Come out the Washington St exit of the station
2.    Take a right on Washington (going north)
3.    Bear right at your second (I think) right onto Pleasant St.
4.    Turn right on Wyoming
