Hybrid: Contemplative Rest Winter Series

A five-session winter series
Saturdays January 10, 17, 24, 31 & Saturday February 7.
All sessions are 9am-noon Pacific time.

Series Overview

This 5-session series introduces participants to Contemplative Rest is a relaxing, present-moment, embodied meditation practice which draws somatically on previously lived experiences of the numinous—wonder, connectedness, ease, love, mystery, revelation—in order to, among other things:

• cultivate peace in one’s own heart and in the world
• mitigate stress, anxiety, habitual over-reaction, and other difficulties
• enhance connectedness, curiosity, and kindness
• strengthen one’s experience of community and sense of belonging
• improve general wellbeing and mindfulness.

Contemplative Rest founder M Freeman teaches the meditation practice, gently guiding participants through an initial preparation—selecting past experiences, savoring those experiences in vivid somatic detail, reflecting on them, and sharing discoveries and insights. Folks can expect a spacious schedule that will include guided and silent meditations, reflective writing, sharing and listening, and Cinema Divina film screenings.
