Suspended Stillness: Aerial Meditation & Sound + Donation and or Energy Trade

Donation and or Energy Trade

This is a meditation experience designed to help your body receive rest, not work for it.

Participants are gently supported in aerial hammocks—either reclining or floating just above the ground in a cross-legged position—allowing the body to feel held, swayed, and softly rocked. This suspended support reduces muscular effort and sends powerful safety signals to the nervous system, making it easier to drop out of vigilance and into deep regulation.

The gentle movement of the hammocks naturally calms the inner ear and vagus nerve, supporting a shift out of stress patterns and into a parasympathetic, restorative state. For many people, this allows meditation to happen without strain, effort, or “trying to quiet the mind.”

Throughout the class, I hold a grounded, spacious container using sound bowls and guided meditation at select moments, leaving plenty of silence for your body to integrate and settle. The experience is responsive to the collective energy of the room and the current needs of the community.

This offering is especially intended for caregivers—parents, helpers, healers, teachers, and anyone who holds others regularly. It is a place where you don’t have to support anyone else. You get to be supported.
