Meditating with Minerals & Singing Bowls

Wonder & Delight

Join us for an indoor adventure, prospecting for insights into the deep structure of Reality, with minerals from around the world as our guide. In this 2-hour introductory session, we'll explore meditation techniques combined with hands-on experience of rocks, minerals, crystals and gemstones. Crystal and brass singing bowls will set the stage for meditation.

 

Along the way, you'll learn how elements are formed and how minerals organize themselves, embodying a rich legacy of information gathered over billions of years. You'll learn how to look -- really look -- deeply into a rock, where you'll find a world in miniature, a holographic image of the cosmos, maybe even a reflection of your own mind (you be the judge). You'll have opportunities to explore the "energy" and "vibration" effects of holding minerals, and become attuned to sensing the vibrant Presence within them.

 

As you spend more time with rocks, you'll find your senses heightened: the whole world looks more detailed and vivid. You may even come to experience rocks less as solid things and more as concentrations of light / energy /information within a "universal field."
