Our individual and collective essential qualities include: love, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
It's easy to forget who we truly are when the winds of aversion, attachment, and disconnection are as active as they have been during the past several months of pandemic while leading up to election day.
Let's support each other to sit quietly for a little while, breathe
and release the winds that disconnect us, and find the stillness,
silence, and spaciousness that provide an inner refuge that opens us and connects us to inherent immeasurable qualities for: liberating ourselves from the suffering of reactivity, responding effectively to what we meet in each unfolding moment, and generating kindness and compassion for all others.

FIRST THURSDAY GUIDED MEDITATION HEALING CIRCLE
|
| | The First Thursday of the Month Guided Meditation Healing Circle is offered on Thursday, November 5th, 2020 via ZOOM.
Our Guided Healing Circle Meditation is not intended to by-pass
illnesses of the body, the emotions, the mind, or spirit - or the pain
and suffering of each other, our families, communities, and our society.
The
3 Doors practice we share on First Thursdays is a support to open our
hearts and embrace all of the reactive emotions triggered by the winds of
aversion, attachment, and ignorance that cause dissatisfaction.
Please join us Thursday, November 5th, from 11 AM until 11:45 AM.
Led by Gabriel, the Healing Circle is open to everyone; there is no fee.
To join please follow the link below:

THURSDAY MORNING DROP- IN MEDITATION SESSIONS
|
| | There is a luminous, healing space of refuge within each one of us. It is important to make time to visit often and connect to the warmth of our nature. It is a prescription for liberating ourselves from unnecessary emotional reactivity; developing the capacity to host the pains of illness, loss, and grief; and remembering that others suffer just as we do, without exception, due to age, gender/sexual orientation, geographic location, ancestral origin, or political affiliation.
We sometimes forget that space exists, or where and how to find it. It is always available - it is waiting for us behind the doors of stillness, silence, and spaciousness.
This month, as the pandemic and social, racial, and political unrest continue to trigger disconnection from our basic goodness, I'm offering virtual, drop in silent meditation sessions each Thursday: 11/12, 11/19, 11/26 @ 11 AM Eastern time. Everyone is welcome! There is no fee.
