Align with the rhythms of the season...
Winter is a perfect time for meditation. Nature lets go of all of it's excess and superficial expression and shifts it's energy inwards, towards it's roots.
​
You and I, we are also a part of this nature. And we can join in on this natural rhythm of letting go and becoming more inwardly focused, towards a place of stillness and inner connection. It is here where we find insight and deep renewal for the coming spring.
​
Culturally, we tend to be disconnected from these natural rhythms of life. We're often in go-mode, reaching for eternal spring, which can leave us running dry. What would it be like to align with this winter? Really, what might that be like for you?
​
It truly is an exploration. Come join me this winter for for 1 or all 8 gatherings, and discover what is waiting for you at your depth.​​
From your Guide
Hi, I'm Jen, a Philly native, mindfulness meditation teacher, and holistic fitness coach. I have been formally studying Mindfulness Meditation for 2 years, and informally in my own experience for 6+ years.
​
Mindfulness Meditation is about arriving more fully in the present moment and deepening our capacity to be with what's already here. All the joy and sorrow and every magically mundane moment in between. It is not about achieving some far-off state but waking up into our human lives, exactly as they are.
My specific style of guided meditation is heart-centered and grounded in the body. We are so often prioritizing our intellect in the everyday human sphere, so meditation is a moment to pause and simply reconnect to these other innate centers of intelligence: our body and our heart.
​
As we integrate more heart and body into our lives, we are operating from more of our wholeness, and human life begins to feel more balanced, at ease, alive.
​
Come join me for a meditation or two. If you have any questions at all, please reach out. I look forward to seeing where this Winter Semester of meditation takes us.

xoxo,
Jen

Additional Info
What will each session include?
We will begin with about 10-15 minutes of settling into the space and connecting with each other to create a sense of comfort and safety. From there we will drop into a 20-3o minute guided meditation, followed by an option for extended stillness or some time for journaling. We will conclude each session with a sharing circle, to give voice to anything that wants to be heard and ask questions about your practice.
​
Who is this for?
This series is great for Beginner and Intermediate meditators. I will provide simple guidance and cues along the way to help us steady the mind and deepen into our meditation.
​
This is a queer and BIPOC-celebrating space. If you have any accessibility needs, please reach out so I can make sure that you are comfortable in the space and mediations.
​
Attendance
You may sign up for all 8 weeks or drop-in with us when you're able. I highly recommend coming more than not if you feel connected here. You will gain more depth of experience through consistent practice and cultivation of this particular shared space.
​
What to bring?
If you have a meditation cushion that you like to use, please bring! This isn't mandatory as we will provide several options including blankets, yoga mats, and bolsters. Don't worry, there is not a strict rule on how you sit in this class. Come and be as you are. And wear comfy clothes!
You may also bring a journal or pad for writing/drawing. There will be optional space to write and reflect towards the end of the meditation.
