How do we stay tender in times of great change?

How do we trust the natural rhythms of opening and closing, of loss and renewal, of endings and beginnings?

This month, we gather with eyes wide open, feeling the reality of the climate crisis, political unrest, and humanitarian suffering. We practice staying connected without hardening.

Through meditation, earth connection, and shared reflection, we will ride the currents of change with compassion, acceptance, and care.

Join us for our Monthly Meditation Sit May 29 at 7 PM Wonderlit Studio, Toronto

All are welcome. Bring your breath, your heart, and your tender places.

Register here.

Your facilitators: Rose Mina

Mindful Earth Refuge- April 24th Sit -Grief and Love

We gather again this Thursday! Anchoring in Our Grief and Love for the Earth: A Mindful Earth Gathering

In honour of Earth Month, we will gather to explore the sister energies of grief and love as vital resources for meeting our current reality. Rather than shutting down in the face of loss or overwhelm, we will practice opening to the sorrow we feel for the Earth while also nurturing the deep love that propels us toward collective healing. Through meditation and reflective sharing, we will learn to hold and transform these powerful emotions into compassionate action. By anchoring ourselves in both grief and love, we cultivate the resilience and clarity needed to remain fully present to the challenges of our world and to respond with engaged hearts.
