About the event
The Mobile Monastery Chautauqua Tour will be guest teachers at Joel's monthly Circling Night. Come early for massage and tea!
6pm - 7pm: Massage and Tea (drop in anytime): Enjoy a brief bodywork session, first-come first-serve. Make new friends over a cup of tea.
7pm - 8pm: Interpersonal meditation (please arrive by 6:45): Interpersonal Meditation is an exercise in communication and empathy. It develops our ability to find what is true for us in the moment, speak it, and listen to others as they do the same. This takes the form of a conversation which happens in either a group or in pairs. The subject of this conversation is the experience of having the conversation--any experiential content that comes up, including thoughts, emotions, mental images, physical sensations, questions, assumptions and judgements can be shared at the speaker’s discretion. Interpersonal Meditation makes the claim that truth, when handled responsibly, is inherently good, and that by simply speaking or embodying what is true for us in relationship with others, good will come of it.
