Embodying the Open Ground Practice Day

May 7th, 2022

We are glad that you have joined our community of practitioners for the Open Ground cycle of practice that emphasizes the inherent openness and unbounded nature of embodied life and all phenomena.

This is a highly accessible approach to non-dual recognition that relies upon refuge in the earth, deep contemplative relaxation and a continuous process of trusting our experience.

In this weekend we will refine our capacity to let everything go, and in our surrender to recognize the primordial innocence of infant consciousness as it rests in the open matrix of the mother. Our practice day will include teachings, guided meditations, and Q&A related to personal practice.

Schedule:

  • Zoom Room Opens: 6:30am Mountain Time

  • Practice Session 1: 7:00am - 10:00am Mountain Time

  • Meal Break: 10:00am - 11:00am Mountain Time

  • Practice Session 2: 11:00am - 2:00pm Mountain Time

How to Prepare:

  • Please have a lighter &  incense - or sage, Palo Santo, and/or a candle to light together in ritual

  • Sit at your altar or create a sacred space in your home or office for your practice sessions.  Having two places to sit, one on the floor, and a chair can also be helpful in order to move back and forth

  • Treat yourself to some flowers for your altar

  • Have AirPods, head phones, or a blue tooth speaker for better sound quality

  • Have a notebook handy

  • Tissues for pranayama

  • Eat light meals that are easily digestible: vegetarian, soup, broth
