Time In Archive
We live in a fast-paced culture which prioritizes competition, striving, and achievement. With these values we lose touch with our bodies, our hearts, ourselves, and as a result what truly matters. When we are aware, we can more wisely choose actions that connect us to ourselves and others.
In our time-in together, we slow down from our busy lives.
We take time–in to allow our body and breath to settle and calm through mindful awareness and meditation. We turn our focus inward so that we can orient toward our own well- being. Guided and other supportive practices including guided meditations, experiential investigation, group, and personal sharing are also offered.
Each month we will explore a different topic and quality that can help us to nurture our hearts and live with more vitality and presence and compassion. All done with a light touch and a playful tone!
We meet on the 3rd Sunday of the month, from 1:30 to 3:30 PM, ET (all on Zoom).
You don’t have to be a meditation practitioner. We welcome all levels of experience. The only expertise we require is an open mind and a desire to experience. (CP credits available to those who are interested.)
Dana
There is a long tradition of offering meditation instruction with no expectation of payment. Our “Time In” group and Jaye’s “Drop-In” sits are offered in this tradition: we expect no fee.
“Dana” is a part of this tradition. The recipient of our offering might consider offering some amount based on a combination of perceived value and personal means. In the freedom of this exchange we open to the heart aspect appreciation, kindness, and gratitude.
In this spirit, we receive what is freely offered.
Sign up for the “Time In” Group. Thank you!

| October 16th, 2022 | Compassionate Listening | What is compassionate listening? It is listening deeply, which means: • as listeners, setting the intention to ground ourselves, to breathe, and to settle, calm and open, as best we can. • staying open and vulnerable to another’s suffering and distress. • heeding the etiquette of compassionate listening, a listener doesn’t interrupt, or push a personal agenda for what they would like to hear the speakers say or do; • moving from a place of knowing, which is based on our perceptions, assumptions, and histories, to a place of not to be surprised and moved. • Listening with an empathetic ear to what is said and seeing through the eyes of the other. Please join us as we practice listening together and experience the tremendous relief of feeling listened to and understood! | Online |
