Events in the Meditation Room
With Monica Bodirsky, Carolyn Cushing, and Lori Lytle
FRIDAY from 2:15pm to 3:15pm
Opening to Wisdom Ritual — Each year a specific theme, inspired by a Tarot or oracle deck, is offered to help us encounter the wisdom that flows to us through the symbols, imagery, and figures of the Tarot tradition.
Our theme for 2018 is Child Mind. Inspired by Monica Bodirsky’s House of Shadows’ Child card, we will shake loose the constraints and roles of our everyday lives to tune into the playful and perhaps mischievous parts of ourselves to dive fully into the depths of Readers Studio.
SATURDAY from 8:00am to 8:30am
Morning Meditation — If you need a gentle start to the day, join us for a 30-minute session that will include energy balancing, guided visualization, and silent meditation. You’ll spend the majority of time focused inwardly.
Following the meditation’s conclusion at 8:30am, there will be an option for journaling and a brief sharing of experiences in Circle until 9am.
Bring your favorite tarot deck and a notebook / journal.
SUNDAY from 12:30pm to 1:15pm
Integration Ritual — On Sunday, we begin to think about returning home and how to bring all the wisdom and connections of Readers Studio with us. This ritual weaves together strands of reflection, release, gratitude, and vision.
Our theme for 2018 is At the Crossroads. We will dare to name gifts of both shadow and light as we turn our gaze toward home and find our way toward the path that lets us be our fullest truest selves.
