Community Meditation Gathering
and Potluck
Darcy Lubbers is positively brimming over
with warmth, joy and laughter - everything you'd want in a
meditation group leader. The first Sunday of every month,
she hosts a community meditation group in a small studio in
Santa Monica. We attended the workshop earlier this month
and found it to be an emotionally rejuvenating experience.
And we encourage anyone who meditates regularly and those
interested in beginning a meditation practice to check it
out, as well.
To begin, we all took our places on the yoga mats provided
and were guided through a series of gentle yoga poses. This
relaxed our bodies in preparation for the 30 minutes of stillness
to come.
Our group meditation took place in a cozy alcove furnished
with cushions and chairs. Darcy provided vocal guidance to
get us started and then allowed us each to progress deeper
into our own personal meditative state, whether it involved
chanting a silent mantra, or simply focusing on the breath.
At the end of our half-hour meditation, fruit and tea were
brought in from the adjacent kitchen and we were each invited
to share whatever was on our minds. We found the optimism
and wisdom of our meditation group members to be deeply inspiring,
and we left the gathering sated both physically and spiritually.
Darcy’s next community meditation group will be held
on December 5th from 7 to 9 pm, and will be followed by a
potluck in celebration of the holidays. Bring your favorite
dish to share and an open mind, and we're sure you'll leave
feeling as wonderful as we did. The suggested donation is
$10 to $12, although everyone is welcome, regardless of whether
or not they can contribute financially.
If you would like to attend the December 5th group meditation
and potluck celebration, please RSVP to Darcy@magicofhealing.com.
And if you can't attend this event but would like to be kept
in the loop about future gatherings and workshops, please
email Darcy to let her know.
