MEDITATION SANGHA

OVERVIEW

Meditation is the most important thing Adam has ever learned. The importance of the Sangha (community) is a close second. This Meditation Sangha combines these two powerful forces of practice and community. Each session begins with a short talk and group sharing. Sharing is always optional. The practice includes grounding somatic education activities, guided breathing, self-inquiry pointers, and a period of juicy silence. For those interested we end at Mame Seefeld for a delicious coffee and more sharing. Adam will be happy to answer questions about the practice of meditation in general, your personal experience in particular, or to discuss the deeper history and philosophy of meditation and other esoteric traditions.

THE PRACTICE

Adam’s meditation style is a mix of activities from somatic education and various techniques found in Tibetan non dual meditation traditions, particularly Dzogchen and Mahamudra. After decades of closely examining the human condition, from the depths of depression to the pyrotechnics of various peak experiences, Adam has found that the only constants are the gravity that holds everything together and the open space of consciousness. The practice is to relax into gravity while opening to the entirety of experience in each moment rather than getting lost in the ceaseless dramas created by our fixation prone and thought driven mind.

MAJOR THEMS

Each session will be different but the same themes will be explored in different ways and from different perspectives. The most common themes include:

• Grounding and the art of relaxation
• Embodiment and awareness of the physical body as a continuing process
• Opening to the entirety of experience
• Investigating the nature of ‘self’
• Gratitude
• Practice tips and learning how to begin again in each moment

OUR INTENTION

Our intention is to help you learn how to take your meditation practice off the cushion and yoga mat and into every single moment of your life. We also hope to cocreate a space with the community to share all the valuable experiences, tools, ideas, and practices that have helped us individually in life. We all have a lot to share, and in Sangha we are stronger.

INVESTMENT

15 CHF. This fee will go towards supporting the Soulspace community. The most important investments however are your time, energy, and intentions, for yourself but also for the Sangha community and everyone else in your life.
