What we’re about
Hi everyone!
This is a weekly meditation group meetup where we will meditate together for 45 minutes to an hour.
We will be using Dr. Joe Dispenza's guided meditations, as they are very easy to follow and many people find it easy to access meditation through them. They are non-confessional, and his work is backed up by research at the University of California, San Diego. In other words - no spiritual practice or tradition needed. Come as you are, everyone is welcome, beginners included.
If you are a beginner and interested, but meditating for up to an hour seems much to you, don't hesitate to stop by anyway and try it out. A group setting is the perfect place to build that muscle, as it's more fun and uplifting than doing it at home on your own.
Our events will be hosted @ Yogaloft near Gärtnerplatz in Munich. We will meet Saturday mornings from 8:30-10:00 a.m. to set ourselves up for a joyful weekend.
A few organizational notes:
-
You don't need to bring anything but make sure you had a light breakfast - it's good not to be hungry and not to be full either.
-
There is equipment such as blankets, blocks, and pillows in the studio that we can use. If you want to bring your favorite meditation pillow, that's fine, too.
-
We will be settling in for a couple of minutes with a quick round of introductions, and then we will get right to it. When the meditation is over, we will open the room for anyone who wants to share what they experienced.
-
I will ask for a contribution of 5 Euros per person (possibly less in the future if there is a lot of interest) that will go into renting the studio space. I would like to offer it for free but I don't have a personal space to host these events. If a better option comes along, this might change in the future.
We won't be talking about meditation or spirituality per se, but if you have basic questions of course you can ask. I do encourage you to familiarize yourself with his meditations to check out if you like that style.
If there is interest, we can also append a small book club meeting for Dispenza's literature.
Any questions? Feel free to shoot me a message.
So long 🌱🌳
