How to Show Up, Friends.

Please be well hydrated and have any food at least 1 1/2 hours before arrival since we will begin the sitting with a brief breath-work practice.

It is best to practice breath-work with a mostly empty belly. Of course, be sure not to come hungry as that can highjack the belly brain during your meditation

This is a delicate balance :-)

You will not be strapped to your meditation cushion or chair for 3 hours. Changing position, a brief walk outdoors in silence, sipping your tea is invited as needed. However, those who wish to stay with the sitting are encouraged to do that.

We are training the body mind to stay with what is showing up exactly and completely, drawing no conclusions.

I am always surprised by the beauty, curiosity and creativity that infuses these longer sittings while with others on this path.

What to bring

-Water bottle

-Sweater or Sweatshirt (you might step outside to stretch your legs)

-Favorite meditation cushion or blanket if that is a thing

(We should have plenty)

Please arrive 4:45PM sharp to prepare your meditation space
