Meditation Mondays

a place to remember who we are, together

Jocelyn Rahm (of Beam & Anchor) and I were called to start a weekly meditation group because we have both experienced, firsthand, the sense of peace, clarity and rightness that flows towards and through us when we operate from open-heartedness. And in reverse, we’ve experienced the disconnection, angst and isolation that accompanies a closed heart.  For us, the antidote is two-fold:

• mindfulness: simply paying attention to our experience and bit by bit gaining greater dominion over it, regardless of external conditions; and
• community:  gathering with others for further connection and understanding with ourselves and our shared humanity.

Each week at meditation monday we’ll explore a contemporary, topical theme through the lens of mindfulness and community dialogue. We’ll also experiment with bringing the idea from mind into body through practice. The objective is to not only foster discussion around how to apply mindful awareness to these themes, but to also have a palpable experience of the theme so we can apply it to our everyday experience. 

For those of you that have not attended a group sit with us but have contemplated doing so, please know that regardless of your practice experience, your presence would be a gift. For those of you that have sat with us, we can’t wait to practice again along-side of you.
