Jan 15 – Feb 23 2025
Sun’s 7:30PM at RTI & Zoom
Wed’s 7:30PM on ZOOM
“What 9 months does for the growing embryo, 40 early mornings does for your awakening soul.” – version of Jelaluddin Rumi by Coleman Barks
40 Minutes of Meditation
In the depth of winter we rejuvenate our souls and selves by sitting together in relaxed, awake awareness.
Disrobing the day and impressions we carry, we are able to enter into quiet contemplation more and more easefully each breath.
By exercising the muscles of concentration, contemplation, meditation, and realization, we bring the infinite well of possibilities into our own daily lives, becoming renewed and centered in purposeful flow with all of life, of which we are so lucky to be a part.
40 minutes of sitting, with some guided meditation practices for the first 5-10 minutes, to enter and delve into the rich illuminated silence of breath, heart, in presence.
Practices drawn from the universalist Sufi Inayati tradition, in addition to others, poems, and contemplative words.
Please practice on your own with take-home practices on days we do not meet. More meditations available from world teachers during this time at https://feastforthesoul.org

We will sing, pray, read poems, and chant together in a circle, connecting and remembering.Suggested Donation: $5-20

Meditation, Stillness, & Ease with Akbar Chris Miller
One definition of meditation is the ability to modulate the frequencies of consciousness. We’ll begin with some guided practices to help settle and ground into the body, heart, breath, and moment. We will set intentions to bring into the silence, where, in that inner space, we encounter the wellspring of possibilities. We will cultivate the experience of meditation, stillness, and ease. In these meditations you can sit or lay down. Open to all levels.
$5-20
