Applied Meditation  is a unique healing resource for reducing stress and learning how to manifest your visions.    The  trainings provide an introduction to the power of mind/body interactions, the relationship of personal and community transformation.  Each session also address specific issues participants identify and offer people a way to learn the Principles of Applied Mediation while, at the same time, working with the most pressing challenges they face.

Healing the Healer

Applied Meditation Skills for Helping Professionals, For leaders, activists and anyone who is engaged with challenging interactions.

Applied Meditation skills will empower you to both maintain your own well being in the midst of demanding work and to be more effective in all areas of your life. Good leadership and healing are both rooted in having keen intuition and in knowing what to do in any situation. In this workshop you will become intimate with your own intuitive voice and learn to access it at will. You will learn how to stay centered in the middle of a crisis, protect your own boundaries without shutting down and ground yourself in compassion.

We will share ways to invite spirit, heart, and vision into the workplace or other settings. We will also demonstrate how to frame questions to elicit intuition and open the imagination to new ways of being. Learn to recognize what undermines group effort and what inspires mutual support and shared intention. The process of developing these skills is fun. You will have the opportunity to “catch up with yourself,” illuminate your work habits and create or reaffirm patterns that fit your sensibilities. This training will both replenish your energy and teach you skills that promise to qualitatively change your work life.

Visioning Justice: Sustaining Activism

Working with Applied Meditation, we will deepen our vision of a world where self determination, community, equity and trust are the norm. We will engage our imaginations, share our stories, and bring the power of spirit into our work in justice-making. (Our behavior is always loyal to what we imagine, so without a vision to strive for we unwittingly recreate the same patterns of domination that we are organizing against.) We will also cover some basic Applied Meditation skills, which will help sustain well-being in the midst of trying times.
