🧘📓 Meditation + Journaling Circle

🧘📓 Contemplative Meditation + Journaling Circle

Short summary

Most evenings get eaten alive by noise. This one is for slowing down enough that your attention comes back online. We’ll begin with a few opening comments, move into a short reading, sit together in contemplative meditation, do a pass-the-stick round while the room is still quiet, journal while the mind is still settled enough to tell the truth, and then open the room for discussion. This is one full session from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Not two shorter drop-ins. This is also not guided meditation narration. No “imagine a beach.” Contemplative meditation is simpler and harder than that: a short reading, a quiet sit, and the work of actually paying attention. No experience needed. But please come on time. This works much better when the room starts together.

How the session will go

We’ll start right at 6:00 PM. 6:00-6:10 opening comments 6:10-6:20 the reading 6:20-6:45 meditation 6:45-7:10 pass the stick 7:10-7:35 journaling 7:35-8:00 discussion During pass the stick, sharing stays brief and intentional. Nobody has to perform. Important note about being late Because the room settles early, late arrivals can throw it off for everyone. If you think you’ll be late, better to come to the next one and start with the room from the beginning. Bring Notebook + pen Optional: water or tea Optional: sweater / cushion / anything that helps you sit comfortably
