The autumnal equinox is upon us soon and it is a wonderful time for introspection and gratitude for the harvest of both physical and spiritual nourishment. As the earth shifts from summer’s abundance to winter’s stillness, so too are we called to reflect on our inner world and align ourselves with the natural rhythms of the season. What new light are we bringing to our inner and outer places?
We are a growing meditation community ( sangha) here in beautiful qathet - Powell River. When we practice outdoors, we experience a deeper connection to the world and the Earth and each other, and cultivate a richer space for personal growth and revitalized health.
See you tomorrow 🙏
Our next meeting times after Sept 20, are :
Sept 27
October 4.
Always at Willingdon at 11.

Special Summer Solstice
Outdoor Meditation Circle!
on Sunday, June 21st, at Willingdon beach, at 11. Our usual place. This time of year offers us an invitation to pause, honor our inner fire, celebrate personal growth, and align our energy with the blooming natural world. It's as if, for a moment, the sun stands still, casting the world in a golden ocean of light. We are the closest to the sun we’ll be all year. And for nearly 24 hours a day right now, the northern hemisphere is soaking up all that fierce, intense, electrifying energy. Where are you directing all that energy? What are you doing with all of this extra light? Are you giving yourself time to cultivate the inner light so that it stays aglow in the other seasons?
We go for about an hour. There is a guided part in the gentle tradition of Thich Naht Hanh and a silent part.
Everyone welcome!
