SUMMARY:21 Day Meditation Challenge 2024
DESCRIPTION:$54 or FREE if you join the Open Heart Project Sangha\n\n \n  \nWe long for change.\nAs we enter a new year\, it is natural to think of what we want to create\, change\, or leave behind. It is a time to dream and imagine what could be\, who we want to become\, and how we can create more love and goodness in our lives and in the world. Whether you just want less stress (who doesn’t?!) or a way to create peace on earth for all beings (who doesn’t?!)\, there is one tool that can help you\, perhaps better than any other: \nA strong\, steady meditation practice.\nAs we practice it in the Open Heart Project\, meditation is much more than a self-improvement technology. It is a way to stabilize your mind in the midst of chaos to remain focused\, strong\, and kind. It is a path to love. \nAs we sit in simplicity and silence\, we soften. As we soften\, we become vulnerable. Vulnerability is the root of love\, not to mention insight\, creativity\, presence\, and even courage. These are the seeds we plant with our practice. \nYou don’t have to head to a mountaintop or commit to many hours a day of meditation practice (although both are awesome) to reap these benefits. You just have to sit down. Every day. For 10-20 minutes. And that is exactly what we will do together from Jan 1-21. \nJoin me for a 21-day meditation challenge.\nAlmost everyone I have ever spoken to about their meditation practice has trouble practicing consistently. Hey\, me too! It’s not as simple as “making” yourself do it. We need more than individual resolve. Teachings and community provide the needed support and the 21-day challenge aims to provide both. \nWhen you sign up\, you’ll receive: \n\nEach morning\, a daily guided audio meditation delivered right to your inbox. We will practice for 10 minutes a day during week one\, 15 minutes a day in week two and 20 minutes a day in week three. I think you’ll be surprised at how much easier it all is when all you have to do is click “play.”\nTwo live gatherings to check-in\, discuss questions\, and hear your reflections.\n\nJanuary 11 @ 12:00 pm -1:00 pm ET\nJanuary 25 @ 2:00 pm -1:00 pm ET\n\n\nA PDF guide to the program that lays out the steps to create a home practice.\n21 short bonus videos\, one per day\, each with a “meditation tip.”\n\nBy the end of this 21-day period\, you will have a meditation practice that you can count on. \nI really look forward to practicing with you. \nCost: $54\nRegistration is now closed. If you’re looking for year-round meditation support\, consider joining the Open Heart Project sangha.\nQuestions? Please email us here.

SUMMARY:Why go on a meditation retreat? Free info session with Michael Carroll & Susan Piver
DESCRIPTION:January 11\, 2024 | 7PM – 8PM EST \nReserve your spot in the info session here. \nI had my reservations the first time someone suggested I go on a long meditation retreat. I mean\, sitting doing nothing for days on end? I had so much to do\, how could I take time to do that level of nothing? What if they try to indoctrinate me into a cult? If I can’t stand it\, how can I leave? \nI’m not sure what made me decide to give it a try. Maybe it was the assurances of people I trusted that it would be the best thing I ever did. \nThe day before the retreat ended\, I thought THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE EVER DONE. I wanted to stay there for good. When I came back home\, I felt fully re-energized to dive back into life. \nSo\, my personal impressions aside\, why should you go to an in-person retreat? Because it the most effective way to stabilize and deepen your practice. \nPlease join me and fellow teacher Michael Carroll on January 11th at 7p EST to talk about what actually goes on during a lengthy retreat. We’re hosting a free one-hour info session to answer all of your questions. \nAND…we’re co-teaching a retreat\, Authentic Presence and the Feminine Principle\, from June 26 – July 6. We will also share details about the program during the info session. \nWhether you can attend this retreat or not\, we invite you to explore the purpose and meaning of taking time away from everyday busy-ness. We think you will find what we have: a deeper connection to your true self and a chance to glimpse the vast wisdom that arises when you allow your mind to rest. \nPlease register for the info session here. \nAll who register will receive a link to the recording. When the link is sent\, there will also be a chance to schedule a 15-minute one-to-one Zoom conversation with one of us to discuss any additional concerns. \nI hope to see you there.
