Join us for a gentle beginner-friendly morning meditation class in the barn! Meditation is a practice of listening deeply to our true selves with curiosity and kindness. As work, life, and the world gets more turbulent and chaotic, it is essential that we take a moment to pause and reconnect with our own being. Our practice invites us to work with the mind as it is; our goal is not to force ourselves or our mind to sit still or quiet down unless these things are happening naturally. Instruction will be provided for those new to the practice. We will do some gentle stretches to awaken our body and then sit for a short meditation practice (10-15 minutes). Class concludes with a community check-in and personal intention setting for the day. This class is included in each Land of the Good day pass. If you are just stopping by for tea and meditation, you are welcome to attend on a donation basis. Instructor: Shivani Hawkins is a lifelong meditator completing 25 years of teaching the practice.
Feeling stuck, distracted, overwhelmed, or lonely working from home? Join us for a true "co"-working session, where we meet up to connect, get clear, and find courageous flow as we work. Humans have historically always worked alongside other humans, and numerous studies show the benefits of "body doubling", especially for neurodivergent people. Each of these sessions begin with a brief check-in and intention for the session. We will work together quietly, and then share our progress at the end. We've seen people makes tons of joyful progress on things that have felt impossible or just an endless slog alone at home. If you get stuck, there's free tea & coffee, a community garden to ground in, open art materials to play with, a yoga and movement area to stretch or meditate in, and cozy couches to rest on. At the end of the session, we'll share our progress and celebrate our efforts! Let's Get the Thing Done! November's special community focus is finishing websites and branding! This session is included in your day pass at Land of the Good. Doors open at 9, and we still start the group check-in at 10, working until noon. You are welcome to stay and work until we close at 5pm.
