The Moon is Earth’s celestial anchor in a vast and mysterious cosmos. Honoring lunar phases reminds us to feel our connection to nature’s rhythms & cycles.
Happy First Quarter Moon! 🌓 One fourth into the monthly lunar cycle, this phase supports building & balancing. Welcome to this moonly missive…
This month’s meditation explores releasing the tendency to try and get somewhere in our meditation/in practice and embrace all of it as process. The practice is never done because it was never meant to be finished. It's a process. Ongoing. Cyclical. Like the breath. Like the seasons. Like life.
Join us in the chat today where we’ll explore what process means to us.
Thanks for practicing with me!
P.S. Cool course alert!! You know I LUFF the practice of The 5 Remembrances…
My tarot-bestie/spiritual-little-sister-extraordinaire, Sara Shapouri, is co-leading a four-part series on this teaching through Dharma Homies.
BECOMING A GOOD ANCESTOR: Taught by Sara Shapouri & Sarwang Parikh, April 9, 16, 23, 30 | Thursdays 5pm-7pm PT | 8pm-10pm ET
How they describe it:
“Explore the foundational Buddhist teachings of the Five Remembrances—aging, sickness, death, change, and karma—as invitations to live with greater presence, courage, and care. Drawing from core Buddhist teachings we will examine how remembering our mortality can be a counter-cultural practice that deepens wisdom and compassion. Through guided meditation, relational reflection, somatic practices, nature connection and creative exploration, participants will develop skills to meet fear, grief, and impermanence with greater steadiness while reflecting on what it means to live responsibly and become a good ancestor while we are alive.”
Sara is a phenomenal teacher and is, no exaggeration, one of my favorite people on our planet. I’ve had the pleasure of being on retreat with Sarwang… also a gem of a human. Check it out and register here.
