3:00 pm. Guided Meditation with Melanie Moser (Mlle.NOISE)
“In Vedantic tradition, there is a practice of contemplation called ‘vichara’. Vichara is divided into three parts: The first is the washing over of the information. The second is the digesting of the information. And the third is the living of the information. We will begin by turning our vision inward to express a more perfect experience of the present moment and to grow a healthy attention. As we plant our seed of intention, a delicate balance of effort and effortlessness ensues. In guided walking and seated meditation, we will explore this together.”
