FIRST THURSDAY GUIDED MEDITATION HEALING CIRCLE
|
| | The First Thursday of the Month Guided Meditation Healing Circle is offered on Thursday, August 6, 2020 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, our society.
The
3 Doors practice we share on First Thursdays is a support to open our
hearts and embrace all the reactive emotions triggered by the winds of
aversion, attachment, and ignorance that cause dissatisfaction.
This month I offer instruction in the 9 Breathings of Purification to release subtle obscurations, facilitating the connection to open awareness that acknowledges and allows the reactivity to
breathe, to express, and to heal by hosting it in the warmth of
compassion.
Please join us Thursday, August 6th, from 11 AM until 11:45 AM.
Led by Gabriel, the Healing Circle is open to everyone; there is no fee.
To join please follow the link below:

THURSDAY MORNING DROP IN MEDITATION SESSIONS
|
| | There is a luminous, healing space of refuge within each one of us. It's important to make time to visit often and connect to the warmth of our nature. It's 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 - with no exceptions 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's always available, it's waiting for us behind the doors of stillness, silence, and spaciousness.
This month, as the pandemic and social, racial, and political unrest continues to trigger disconnection from our basic goodness, I'm offering virtual, drop in silent meditation sessions each Thursday: 8/13, 8/20, and 8/27 @ 11 AM Eastern. Everyone is welcome! There is no fee.
The meditations will be short - between 20 and 30 minutes in length. Please be on time. I won't be giving instruction or saying too much to guide these practice sessions. I won't tell you how you're feeling, what you "should" feel, or entrance you. I'm simply offering a space for respite, a space to join in community with others to sit in silence, to rest, to allow your body, outer speech, inner dialogue, and mind to settle into the luminous, healing space of refuge within.
Much love,
Gabriel

THE 3 DOORS - NINE MONTH ON-LINE COMPASSION PROJECT presented by - MARCY AND GABRIEL
|
| | We
need each other now more than ever, yet the ways in which we can be
together are currently limited. It is also clear too that we, as a global
community, urgently need compassion. The 3 Doors Compassion Project
can address both of these needs.
The
3 Doors invites you to join us beginning September 30 for our 9-month
online Compassion Project program, where we will explore how the
cultivation of self-compassion can empower and enliven our expression of
compassion for others.
Live,
online sessions—including teachings, guided practice and an emphasis on
personal sharing—will be led by 3 Doors Senior Teachers Marcy Vaughn
and Gabriel Rocco. Use link below to learn more and register.
