Silent Group Meditation (Free, No Guidance)
Mondays: 8:00am – 8:30am Pacific Time
Wednesdays : 9:00am – 9:30am Pacific Time
Ongoing every week, with rare exceptions. Check Full Calendar to verify dates.
Join for a group meditation – just us, without a teacher. Do your own practice silently in the company of others. There will be no talk or guidance – only a bell to start and finish. Let’s be present, together.
After half an hour of silent sitting, there will be space for a brief hello in the end, if we like.
Please be seated by the time meditation starts, so that we can begin together. You are welcome to have your camera and microphone on (unless you have a lot of background noise), so that we can feel as if we were in one space.
The zoom link remains the same for all the sessions, so you are welcome to register only once and save the link for future reference.

Miranda Macpherson ~ Waking Up and Showing Up ~ Daylong Retreat, Bay Area & Livestream
In these immense times, we need the refuge that spiritual practice provides to nurture our access to the luminous love and clarity of our shared Being. Equally, we need the refuge of community to help us acknowledge all that we may be feeling – fear, anger, despair, hopelseness, and open to the presence that can transform them into responsiveness from our depth.
What does it take to abide in natural great peace, and come from love amidst such anxiety provoking times? What can help us find the restorative Grace we need to thrive, even in the face of heart-breaking news?..... LEARN MORE HERE

Together, in this experiential daylong Miranda Macpherson will hold space for all that we are navigating both personally and collectively, and offer insights and practices to help us harness the intensity of our times into the path.

Trauma healing and nondual awakening come together in the present moment, the eternal now. The ability to be present here and now is essential for awakening to our deeper Nature and embodying that in our lives. It is also necessary for healing the effects of traumatic stress. However, trauma profoundly disrupts this ability, as the body-mind can remain stuck in a state of perpetual vigilance, making it difficult to fully inhabit the present moment. Therefore, spiritually bypassing our trauma greatly limits our awakening and embodiment process. .......

At any given moment, we can tune into one of two streams. One arises from the natural wholeness of our being, open, still, and complete. The other is formed by the mind’s projections onto Reality, creating a sense of separation and confusion. This mental stream veils what is already whole and true.
In this meeting, we will explore how to rest in the stream of wholeness, learning to recognize and gently turn our attention away from the mind’s content. Through shared inquiry and practice, we’ll deepen our capacity to abide in what is real, whole, and ever-present.....
