Open Heart Guided Group Meditation

The internet has brought a lot of people together, but it is also responsible for making people feel more isolated and divided than ever. Fight back against Zoom-enduced apathy and rebuild the things that connect us in person. We'll have open discussion for the first half hour, then I'll lead a guided session on the qualities we all have in common - compassion, groundedness, and a clear mind, things that are always available underneath brain fog and apathy. Rediscover yourself and your community bit by bit.

Chairs are available for up to 15 people, or, if you prefer, you can bring a mat or cushion. We might also sit outside on the shaded patio when the weather is nice.

Your instructor:

I’m Lindsay Kriebel, an instructor (skt. acharya) with Open Heart Sangha. I’ve practiced with Open Heart for going on 5 years, following 10 years of throwing every self-help solution I could find at addiction, depression, and social anxiety. It’s taken me this long to see that complex problems can’t be solved by more overthinking. Simple solutions like developing compassion for myself and others work exactly because they are so basic. When I’m not seeking spiritual realization, I’m a librarian, seeking information for law students at the University of Arizona.

Open Heart practices are for anyone who has an interest in spirituality and creating meaningful change in their life. We focus on practices that can be felt, practices that transform your mind, body, and heart. For those who wonder what your true nature is and how to become yourself again, please join.

This session, we'll explore a grounded, practical meditation you can do to reestablish natural contentment, dispel chronic negativity and brain fog, and feel like your old self again. As we get older, many people start to lose touch with the things that used to bring them joy. Responsibilities pile up, days blur into each other, and it's easy to push off the things we used to care about until "someday." However, there are practices that can be done in however much time you have available to bring your true self back to light, all it takes is intention and consistency.
