Upcoming Dates for Deep Roots Meditation Group
Sundays, Sept. 4 & 18
11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Mindfulness is a skill that can be learned, and when honed, it is an inner energy that you can call upon to heal yourself. Mindfulness can help improve the quality of your life and the well-being of those around you. The many physical, emotional, and psychological benefits of mindfulness have decades of confirmation by hundreds of research studies, including those listed in various branches of the National Institutes of Health.
In this workshop seasoned mindfulness and meditation practitioner Wan will employ ways to nurture and practice mindfulness through meditation, wisdom (dharma) teaching, and group sharing. Using an interactive design approach to best serve the interests of the participants in the moment, this workshop is dynamic, participatory and intended to encourage you to co-create a more peaceful world by cultivating peace in yourself.
Mindfulness meditation is uncomplicated. The purpose of meditation is not to torture ourselves into stiffness nor to forcefully silence the incessant thoughts in our minds but to learn to be calm and care for ourselves with kindness and compassion. Meditation is a form of self-therapy. You are invited to enjoy walking, sitting, and even laying down postures as long as these are comfortable for you. Several short practices will be offered and you are welcome to participate or just silently observe.
The dharma teaching will arise from questions, concerns, and insights of participants who choose to share them in the moment. The facilitators will guide the teaching while demonstrating deep listening and loving speech which they have learned from decades of daily practice and that is informed by the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Wisdom masters throughout the ages will also be referenced as appropriate.
Women’s Wisdom Circle
Gathering in Wisdom, Connection & Sacred Feminine Energy.
Join Mallory Riess and Kat of Golden Wave for a monthly gathering dedicated to exploring the sacred feminine, connecting with other women, and discovering the wisdom we each carry within.
Each month, we'll explore a different goddess and the qualities she represents, bringing these teachings into our own lives through reflection, essential oils, guided meditation, meaningful conversation over tea, mantra, and restorative sound healing.
October's Reflection: Durga
Inner Strength • Courage • Protection
This month, we'll explore Durga, the powerful Hindu goddess associated with courage, protection, and the strength to meet life's challenges. Together, we'll reflect on where we are being called to stand in our strength, trust ourselves, and protect what matters most.
This circle is about more than receiving teachings. It's an opportunity to share our experiences, learn from one another, and build meaningful connections within our community.
No previous experience is necessary. All women are welcome, and sharing is always optional.
