In this post-election, pre-holiday season many of us are experiencing a rollercoaster ride of feelings that have left us unsteady, uncertain or depleted. Let’s come together with some of our community’s innovative contemplative educators and healers from a variety of backgrounds to offer ourselves and one another some enCOURAGEment in preparation for what lies ahead. Each meeting will feature guides with special talents who will help us meet the moment, the season, and/or the era with resilience, courage and compassion. Practices may include music and rhythm, story telling, guided meditation, rest and reflection, community sharing, creative explorations, or gentle movement.
