Rabbit Hole

In this meditation, we celebrate our neurotic attachments so fully that they float off us – sigh – like liberated ghosts on their way to a sparsely-attended poetry reading in Heaven.

Join the Consciousness Explorers Club teaching team – including Jeff – as we start 2026 fresh at this New Year’s Meditation retreat. We’ll explore practices that wake us up and settle us down and renew our commitment to practice for another year!

Jeff will emerge briefly from a week of family togetherness to tap into some community calm in the midst of hectic holiday fun times!

Everything In Its Right Place. This is my primary experience of mystery. This Monday, let’s go there together.

In this evening exploration, I will teach you all an astounding movement sequence that is more than 20,000 years old that I learned from a hobo while riding the rails. And then we will meditate.

The CEC’s summer “Meditate – Celebrate – Activate” retreat happens August 29-September 1, 2025. This retreat is unique for the way it builds on mindfulness and meditation practices, taking insights from the cushion and applying them immediately to interactive community good-times.

In tonight‘s meditation, we will practice articulating to ourselves the thing that we’re in, even if it just means articulating our inability to articulate the thing that we’re in. Progress!

Join the Consciousness Explorers Club for a fund-raising evening of mindful moving and shaking to celebrate our community making it through another year! Jeff will be dancing in a plastic boot and weeping in a corner.

Join the Consciousness Explorers Club (but not Jeff, he won’t be there, sigh) this winter for a weekend of quietude and reflection. This retreat is an opportunity to get a taste of the silent retreat experience, deepen your meditation practice and restore your weary soul with 36 hours of silence bookended by guided practices.

I’ve always been afraid of ordinary things. I run away from them, to extreme experiences. Meditation is about being OK with the ordinary, and being OK with our desire for extreme experiences. In this evening of practice, we accept both ends.

I’ve always thought the opposite of acceptance was resistance. But lately I’ve been tuning into a different way we don’t allow what’s happening, and that is by grasping or holding on. This Monday night we explore grasping versus accepting.

Come join me at the Consciousness Explorers Club virtual Hallowe’en meditation retreat October 27-29! There will be ghouls. There will be hungry ghosts. There will be a magical mystery DJ for our Saturday night dance party. Oh and each of these will be offered in the form of meditations. 

“Imagination lays the tracks for reality to follow,” says trickster Caroline Casey. How superb. This Monday, we use our imaginations to shape our caring.

This Monday, let’s do … nothing. But stay aware. The simpler we are in our positioning, the more of life – and it’s complexities and intensities – we’re able to appreciate.
