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.

Tuesday evenings with Raymond, participants are guided in experiencing the depth of Being, helping you explore and more fully embody your True Nature.
The Art of Presence is a weekly exploration of what it means to be fully here – awake, embodied, and authentic. Each session blends meditation, sensing practice, and inquiry to cultivate awareness through the three centers: head, heart, and belly.
Drawing from Sufi wisdom, the Diamond Approach, and direct contemplative experience, Raymond guides participants in discovering presence not as a state to achieve but as the living reality of who we are. Through silence, breath, and shared reflection, we learn to recognize awareness itself – the stillness within movement, the intimacy within aloneness, and the freedom within the ordinary.
