Heart-centered Earth Practices: Meditation, Movement, Mantra (TH1M22)

Please only register for one of the two formats: On-Land or Online.

Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on October 19, 2022. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program.

Hosted in person by Thanissara and Ayya Santacitta, including online sessions with Noliwe Alexander and Pawan Bareja, a Dream Circle with Mandaza Kandemwa and Nobantu Mpotulo, and music from Jennifer Berezan.

Description:
Taking the theme of love and compassion as a core motivation, we will explore a heart-centered approach to systemic change. Rooted in the practices of the Bodhisattva, we will connect heart-based practices in alignment with the inherent drive of nature to heal and restore itself along with our own natural capacities as Nature’s emissaries of transformation.

We will also explore our inner experience as we face interconnected social, political, economic, and environmental crises, acknowledging how we’re doing so we can more clearly clarify our deepest intention. Grounded in Insight Meditation and Dharma reflections, this weekend gathering includes psycho-spiritual process work, devotional and ceremonial practices, embodied movement and breath practice, a dream circle, mantras, chants, and group sharing.
