Let Go, Start Over
A New Year’s Meditation Challenge
December 31st- January 6th
Do you want to feel more clear, calm and purposeful in 2021?
Meditation is both an art and a science. It’s the art of fully conscious living actualized through a systematic process of training the mind.
We train our muscles to be stronger through activity. As a result, our body is less likely to experience injury and pain. We train our minds to be stronger through meditation. As a result we experience less ‘mind pain’: anxiety, worry, overthinking, negative thoughts, self-judgement.
Developed meditative skill can give rise to joy, happiness, clarity and insight. While the fruits sound glamorous, the practice is not. It involves showing up regularly to a sit and watch your breath while looking kindly upon the dance of the monkey mind, just like you would train an adorable, wayward little puppy.
This seven day challenge serves as an introduction to the novice while inviting those with experience to sharpen their skills and learn creative new techniques.
My intention in creating this gathering and making it highly accessible is to generate collective momentum to intentionally release the massive challenges of 2020 so we might enter 2021 with clarity of mind and a commitment to the simple, daily practices that support us to show up as our highest selves.
Despite the hubbub of New Year’s intentions, this darkest part of the year invites us to turn our attention inward, closing our eyes and ears in order to open our big picture vision as we enter into a brand new year. Through a series of guided meditations designed for all levels of experience we’ll consciously release the challenges of 2020 and create space in our bodies and minds for renewed intention. Gather in community to commit to a year of mindfulness.
Gatherings occur daily from 8:30 am - 8:50 am PST from 12/31 - 1/6 but the meditations will be emailed the same day if you can’t attend live.
Cost: $22
