GAIA MANDALA

EARTH TREASURE VASE FULL MOON GLOBAL HEALING MEDITATION

When we concentrate on sending our love and prayers out wherever it is needed in whatever form is needed, we are taking the first step in participating in the restoration of our world. This is medicine for our times. The meditation includes an invocation of all the Earth Treasure Vase locations around the planet as a way to keep our prayers alive, energize the global mandala of 70 locations and embrace Gaia with our loving care and attention. At the end of the meditation we open an Earth Treasure Vase that serves as a receptacle for all of our prayers and intentions for the Earth. This vase will eventually be buried in a location as yet to be determined. This monthly meditation ceremony will renew your sense of purpose as we face global challenges together.

MONDAY MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

During this weekly 2 hour practice group, we will sit, walk and sit again—entering into the quiet space within, stopping to catch our breath, center ourselves and let go of anxiety to reconnect with our true source of Being. Cynthia will open the session with a dharma talk and at the end of our practice there will be an opportunity for mindful sharing around the circle.

We need each other to make the changes Gaia is asking us. Some of us may need help along the way. A sangha (“community”) is made for this. Cultivating the field of our awareness we will look beyond the habits of our everyday lives and listen deeply to the voice of Gaia in us. We were made for these times. Together, we can meet this time of collective crisis and opportunity with calm and clarity by cultivating a practice of calm abiding in mindfulness.
