The Presence of Space
FRIDAY, JANUARY 19
10:00-11:00 AM ET
Often when we talk about space in yoga and meditation, it’s interpreted as an emptiness. We may think that we have to project a peaceful front or that we must find a way to stop our thoughts. In my opinion, this is not what we mean by space.
Rather, we’re learning to be with the experience within the space that already exists. This space allows us to expand our awareness and our listening.
In this practice, we’ll explore this deeper meaning of creating space. At the heart of the practice, we’ll set conditions to help us stay open with the present moment and everything that it brings… everything that rises and falls. We’ll relate to this space and allow it to hold us. We’ll practice expanding our own presence, so that we can be more spacious with the paradox, ambiguity, and challenges of our time.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Our tension, discomfort, stress, and anxiety can make it feel impossible to feel present and open—especially these days. When we add on the distress that we have all been experiencing over the past several years, it's hard to imagine a time when we will feel resourced enough to show up in our lives and to connect with the world around us. How can we truly show up for ourselves and each other when we’re exhausted, on edge, or overwhelmed?
In this new practice series, we’ll explore mindful movement, restoratives, and compassion and Metta-inspired meditations that will balance our nervous system and garner more energy and stamina in service of meeting whatever arises with a wakeful and kind presence. Come join to bolster our ease, warmth, mood, energy, and even immunity and overall well-being.
We’ll create a foundation through the body and the senses, and then expand our awareness… gently attuning to the resonance of heart and bolstering our resilience as we open to the complex emotional experience and vulnerabilities we are carrying. Offering true presence—deep listening—to ourselves and each other not only changes the way we listen and feel heard but leaves others feeling more seen and heard as well. This is the greatest gift of our practice.
Plus, pair each practice with my FREE Friday Deep Listening Meditations at 9:30am ET.
