Practice of Presence
With all of life’s joys, trials, and passages, deep support is sometimes needed. In conscious sanctuary we practice awareness of the waves of feeling and being that invite a greater sense of flow.
Earth Mandala
Earth Mandala stirs a sense of deeper connection with nature, as you are guided in creating an sacred space/altar in a spot in the Metta Earth forests or fields. This process awakens the imagination and the dreaming self, and a sense of meaning in one’s life.
