In my experience, a daily ritual of tending to my inner life and renewing my commitment to my depths is essential for navigating the complexity and precarity of this wild life.
For the month of August, I'll be offering a guided morning embodied meditation practice. We'll start by soothing our nervous system, grounding into the earth, and connecting with our three centers of intelligence before moving into a mindfulness practice of exploring our breath, sensation, and sound in a warm inclusive way. We'll greet our day with the intention to meet ourselves as we are: tired, grumpy, dull, achy, joyful, inspired, all is welcome. We'll receive the intrinsic support of meditation to help loosen the grip of striving and perfection, opening to what's true and in need of our care.
Dates: We will be sitting every Monday, Wednesday. and Friday morning and two Sundays of the month (Aug 13 & 27).
Times: 7am PST Monday and Friday
7:30 am Wednesday
8am PST on Sundays.
Sessions are live and will not be recorded. I know that not everyone will be able to attend every sit, which is part of why I am offering a number of them over the course of the month. Payments can be made through e-transfer or paypal to info@carlyforest.com Sliding scale: $50-100.
Once payment is made a zoom link and introduction video will be sent. The introduction video will give a brief overview and teaching on the three centers of intelligence and the format of this style of meditation. Please watch the introduction video before joining so you'll have a clear idea of the practice.
