Tantric Tools for a Conscious Life with Christopher Hareesh Wallis
Cultivate a compassionate and curious connection with yourself through the tantric tradition and practices.
Season 01: Episode 04: 19 Minutes
Featuring: Christopher Hareesh Wallis

Many of us get caught in the pursuit of money, possessions, or even relationships on the quest for happiness. The ancient tradition of tantra suggests the pursuit of a gratifying life does not begin with accumulation of material items or external relationships, but rather the development of a compassionate and curious connection with yourself. Join tantric scholar Christopher Hareesh Wallis for this honest conversation on how the tantric tradition can guide us on the path of radical self-love and embodied awareness of the world within and around us.
At the end of the episode, Hareesh introduces a few practices to weave self-awareness into your everyday life, including a technique to fully process emotions and experiences from the day as well as an exercise to nourish your senses.

Rewriting Unconscious Behavior with Gina Caputo
Get in the driver's seat and transform your unconscious patterns with yogic philosophy and practices.
Season 01: Episode 05: 25 Minutes
Featuring: Gina Caputo

From biting our nails to mindlessly checking our phones, many of us develop unconscious behaviors and thought patterns that influence how we show up in the world. How can we get in the driver’s seat and start rewriting these patterns? Join yoga teacher Gina Caputo in this episode that discusses how the yogic tradition offers tools to witness and transform unconscious patterns. We will dive into the yogic system of the kleshas, or the five root causes of suffering, before learning practices that will help us become aware of our unconscious patterns and empower us to rewrite them.

Our Sunday "Let's Watch A Movie" Meetup is scheduled for 2:00 pm but we have a 10-minute grace period for members who are running late. So before 2:10 pm can be a meet and greet time. I have the doors unlocked as early as 1:30 pm for early arrivers. Don't let the RSVP list deter you from coming. Most regular members and some new members don't RSVP and it may look like our attendance is low, but we normally have 10-15 wonderful members that attend each meetup. We always serve coffee, a variety of teas, and bottled water. So, feel free to come in, make yourself at home, and meet some wonderful people. :-)
Our selected movie or presentation will last approximately 60 -90 minutes, and we'll have time for discussion before the 4:00 pm Sunday meditation begins.
We are open to movie or presentation suggestions for this event and all future "Let's Watch A Movie" events. Click here if you'd like to see what we've watched in the past. (https://www.meetup.com/Acadiana-Meditation-Mindfulness-Manifestation-Meetup/pages/22594807/Movie_History/)
