what are meditations & contemplations?

 

these are a weekly sanctuary of presence.

 

the foundation of these sessions is the practice of meditation, and each session includes a period of silence, usually about 15-25 minutes.

 

here you are free to meditate formally in full lotus, sit on a comfy couch, lie down, sip a tea, or sit in nature. 

 

besides meditation practice, the sessions have an element of spontaneity and may include guided or self-guided meditation, light pranayama, tea practice, nature, as well as short talks, dialogue, discussions, group mentoring and Q&A.

​​​​

what are themed workshops?

 

here we dive deeper into things.

 

together we'll explore all kinds of teachings, methods, scriptures, books, teachers, energetic practices and more—reading, watching, practicing, experimenting, and reflecting.

 

workshops may include guided practices, journaling, and talks, and for the rest of the month you may be given self-practice recommendations, as well as study material and book tips, for ongoing self-study at home.

​

​​

we move through a new living theme each month

 

looking into...

 

...ancient traditions, with reverence, but also a rebellious spirit, holding no single teaching or dogma as authoritative

​

...the modern spiritual scene, with a sharp, discerning intellect, questioning new-age spiritual trends, teachings, and absolute claims

​

...ourselves, with an open heart and a straight spine, examining our own most deeply held beliefs, to see if they are ours, if they are beneficial, and if they are absolutely true

​

this way, we discover spiritual traps, shadows, and misguided views of the path

​​

keeping our insight ever fresh, returning again and again to a beginner's mind that isn't coming to any final conclusions when it comes to self-realization

 

rediscovering continuous inspiration, motivation, and clarity, to help us sustain and deepen our sadhana—our spiritual practice—as a community, in crazy modern times. ​
