Marcy and I are sending warm wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year!
The pandemic continues to influence our everyday lives. The winds of aversion, attachment, and disconnection swirl in ways that sow division and impact our overall sense of well-being.
It's healing to make time this month and throughout the year to connect with the love and compassion inherent in our essential nature to liberate ourselves from unnecessary suffering and find ways to benefit others.
Newsletter Highlights This Month:
- VIRTUAL FIRST THURSDAY GUIDED MEDITATION HEALING CIRCLE
- VIRTUAL THURSDAY HALF HOUR MEDITATION SESSIONS ON JANUARY 14, 21, AND 28
- MARCY'S NEW ONLINE CLASS: EMBRACING DEATH IN THE INNER REFUGE, JANUARY 22 - MARCH 3, 2021

FIRST THURSDAY GUIDED MEDITATION HEALING CIRCLE
|
| | The First Thursday of the Month Guided Meditation Healing Circle is offered on Thursday, January 7th, 2021 via ZOOM.
Our Guided Healing Circle Meditation is not intended to by-pass
illnesses of the body, the emotions, the mind, or spirit - or the pain
and suffering of each other, our families, communities, and our society.
The
3 Doors practice we share on First Thursdays is a support to open our
hearts and embrace all of the reactive emotions triggered by the winds of
aversion, attachment, and ignorance that cause dissatisfaction.
Please join us Thursday, January 7th, from 11 AM until 11:45 AM.
Led by Gabriel, the Healing Circle is open to everyone; there is no fee.

THURSDAY MORNING MEDITATION SESSIONS
|
| | There is a luminous, healing space of refuge within each one of us. It is important to make time to visit often and connect to the warmth of our nature. It is a prescription for liberating ourselves from unnecessary emotional reactivity; developing the capacity to host the pains of illness, loss, and grief; and remembering that others suffer just as we do, without exception, due to age, gender/sexual orientation, geographic location, ancestral origin, or political affiliation.
We sometimes forget that space exists, or where and how to find it. It is always available - it is waiting for us behind the doors of stillness, silence, and spaciousness.
This month, as the pandemic and social, racial, and political unrest continue to trigger disconnection from our basic goodness, in addition to the regular First Thursday of January (1/7/2021) I'm offering virtual, half hour guided meditation sessions each Thursday: 1/14, 1/21, 1/28, 2020 @ 11 AM Eastern time. Everyone is welcome! There is no fee.

Much love,

EMBRACING DEATH IN THE INNER REFUGE |
| | January 22 – March 3, 2021 – Waking up to the truth of impermanence and death has been core to
practitioners of wisdom traditions for centuries. In this course we will
explore the power of this recognition to support a vivid relationship
to the inner refuge and to awaken the motivation to fully share our
gifts in this life.
Making an open and loving relationship with one’s
death is a true support for those who seek to live a fully expressed
life, to realize peace, and to benefit oneself, family and loved ones,
and others in living and in dying.
For six Fridays beginning January 22, new
teaching and guided practice modules will become available to course
participants. In addition, three live practice sessions that give an
opportunity to ask questions and share experiences will be offered. These live sessions will be recorded and made
available for course members.
