I am stoked to bring this discussion and exploration around what is at the heart of compassion to community, to learn together, practice together, be alive from heart together. This extended immersion is dedicated to an experiential uncovering of what it is to be compassionate, for the radiance of compassion shining from the heart to light up your path through this life. May we awaken together to a deeply felt knowing that being as you are brings benefit - and devoting ourselves to that.

The material for our work is derived from the multiple practices + teachings in the vast reservoir of buddhism, Taoism & Yoga related to cultivating compassion. We will follow the 7 points of attention illuminated in the Tibetan practice of Lojong to orient and then layer in other perspectives and considerations for each point, each month to elucidate a more comprehensive understanding of and experience with our own hearts. 

A topic like this can seem daunting, it is vast and ineffable, it is felt and real, the paradox, something we often avoid. Gathering together in a group and collectively dancing with our individual findings is a rewarding way to more simply begin something which will likely be a part of our life path.

You will invest your Dollars, your Time and your Heart together. For me these explorations have been beyond the ordinary, they are magical, and life affirming as well as life altering. Please, do join in this endeavor with me - the world needs us to do our part, to do more. 

Our Monthly time together will be devoted to unpacking our studies together, reflecting collectively, sharing time + truth together. As well a creative collection of  practices, meditation, discussions, listening + speaking activities, journaling & more to flesh out our next directions.

The weekly work will include readings + guided practices that offer contemplative junctures to explore the particular point of attention we are working with. The Buddhist traditions are filled with lists of qualities, phrases + expressions that exemplify the characteristics of a wholesome life, the path toward openness, compassion + awakening for the benefit of the whole. Weekly you will work with the paramita/perfection of practice, The 4 Immeasurables, and the slogans from lojong and see what you begin to divine/discern about the nature of the heart and the heart of compassion. There will be guidance and freedom on this trail of study.

Truly there is so much to say, YIKES! So we will dive into all of these particulars in the beginning session May 2025! This immersion will run May thru December 2025, meeting once monthly at the Crows Nest (either in-person or virtually) and receiving a weekly Monday Morning email with the weeks’ work and a guided meditation from Jenn. There will be small group and/or buddy connections each month - being with others enhances on many levels.
