2 Tuesdays January 2 and 9, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Create a strong intention and vision for your New Year. You will leave with a written statement, bullet points, or a paragraph, of your personal vision and intention for the New Year. You will learn how to incorporate this vision into a meditation practice that can be used to reset your intentions and aspirations throughout the year.
During the first night you will learn the 4-Fold Vision Quest to create a full and hopeful vision of your new year, and beyond. There will be time to journal and then meditate/envision this image and story of how the New Year will unfold. Everything from our highest aspirations to our worldly goals will be included in this vision.
During the second night you will take this new vision and apply it to the practices of the 4-Immeasurables (loving kindness, compassion, feeling joy for others, and equanimity). You will learn how to extract the meaning and essence of the 4 Immeasurables and apply them to what is most important and relevant in your life. This is a method of personalizing the 4 Immeasurables so that this practice will stay fresh and relevant for years to come.
Beginners and experienced students are welcome.
