Guided Meditation: Why meditate?
Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, 4831 E 22nd St, Tucson, AZ, USMany people meditate to grow their attention span or gain clarity, but the possible benefits can go far beyond this, including changing your relationship to pain and suffering (creating a “frictionless” experience) and even healing of trauma. This week we’ll discuss the benefits of different kinds of meditation (e.g., compassion practice, insight meditation, and others). Then I’ll lead a session of vipassana (insight) meditation that involves investigating the nature of the mind, a practice that can lead to lasting change in your outlook on the world.
Chairs are available for up to 15 people, or you can bring a mat or cushion if you prefer. We might sit outside in the shaded patio area if the weather is nice.
In these hour and a half sessions, I will guide us through sitting practice on a different theme each week. Themes will include:
What is your true nature? (hint, you are good)
Compassion in a world on fire
Awakening: what is it, how do you get there?
Digital divide: why in-person community matters
Meditation for neurodivergent minds: no willpower required
Full healing of trauma: no dream too big.Read more about Open Heart at amritamandala.com, or check out our dedicated Meetup page: https://www.meetup.com/open-heart-guided-group-meditation/
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.

https://www.meetup.com/thecommunityoflight/events/314597203

- Event will begin promptly at 3:00.
- No access will be permitted after 3:00 in order to avoid disrupting the event.
Join us Saturday, May 30th, as Rev. Susan leads us in a drumming circle and healing meditation.
Drumming has been a cornerstone of human culture for thousands of years. A drumming circle is a gathering of people coming together to share and create rhythmic music with drums and percussion instruments.
Connecting with our natural rhythm reminds us that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, creating balance as we connect to our roots.
Drumming connects us to the truth of the spirit that runs through all things. As we awaken to and honor our rhythm through the drum, we awaken inner healing which manifests outwardly to heal the planet. We become one, with one voice.
The more drums played, the more healing that takes place.
It’s not just the rhythmic beats and captivating sounds that make drumming so special; it’s also the profound impact it can have on our health. Here are some of the benefits:- Enhances overall wellness
- Improves mood, providing a “natural high”
- Creates a sense of connectedness with others
- Helps build self-esteem and healthy relationships
- Induces relaxation and healthy emotional release
- Provides a fun way to integrate mind, body, and spirit
- Boosts brain power
- Connects one to a higher power
We will have extra instruments available. If you have instruments (rattles, drums, flutes, bells) please bring them and join in.
Be thinking about what specific things you want to heal.
We look forward to sharing this healing experience with you.Community of Light is supported solely by donations, which are gratefully appreciated.
We are located within Spoke Coworking shared space at 6700 E. Speedway.
Spoke Coworking is ½ mile west of Kolb and ½ mile east of Wilmot, on the south side of Speedway. The building is set back from the street.
