A practical, immersive and experiential dive into how to meditate.

Comprehensive Meditation Workbook included for each student. Light Snacks/Tea/Coffee provided with a Healthy Vegetarian Lunch Saturday midday. *Please note lodging and additional meals are not included.

If you're looking to explore the world of meditation and establish (or re-ignite) a daily practice, our two-day meditation immersion will be just right for you! This immersion is designed to give you a concentrated experience of multiple types of meditation tools to increase focus, relaxation, healing, and wellbeing. It will be a wonderful way to deepen your connection to self as well as connect with like-minded and compassionate community.

 Here's what you can expect:

 Foundational meditation techniques

• Guidance on the key basics of ways to meditate (calm the mind and regulate the nervous system): We will introduce and deepen you to core meditation practices like mindfulness, mantra, visualizations and accessible breathing exercises. You'll learn how to approach different techniques and cultivate a sense of confidence during meditation.
• Alternating periods of sitting, moving and walking meditation: We will alternate between periods of focused sitting meditation and movement meditation, allowing you to develop mindfulness in both stillness and movement.
• Exploration of diverse styles to see what supports you best: such as loving-kindness meditation, chanting, visualization techniques and sound bath experiences.

The OMstead is quiet and tranquil:

• Our studio’s intentional peaceful environment will minimize distractions and encouraging a deeper sense of calm.
• Emphasis on Silence: although our immersion will include wonderful heart centered connection we will also cultivate periods of silence (known as noble silence) where verbal communication is minimal, promoting deeper introspection and self-awareness.
• Heart Centered Community: Although our time will emphasize silence, you'll be in the presence of other special participants who are on a similar journey, creating a supportive and inspiring atmosphere.

Practical benefits of Meditation:

• Stress and anxiety reduction: Stepping away from daily life and immersing yourself in meditation can significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels.
• Increased mindfulness and focus: You'll cultivate a greater awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to improved focus and clarity.
• Enhanced self-awareness: The inward focus of meditation allows for a deeper understanding of your inner workings, potentially leading to personal insights and emotional healing.

I hope you join us. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions.

Love,

Mel
