Art: “The Gyri of the Thinker’s Brain as a Maze of Choices” by Bill SandersonTEACHERS : Jeff Warren, Sarah Barmak and Michelle Leybman
MEDITATION : Concentration, Culadasa style
INTERACTIVE : Structures of Support, Structures of Inspiration
Jeff: Ok, so for part one, we will continue to explore concentration, this time with a master of concentration – my wife, Sarah Barmak! Every morning she makes me look bad by dropping into bliss-saturated samadhi stillness while I roll around on the floor doing my special “meditation” body exercises. How did she get so good? She followed Culadasa’s excellent Mind Illuminated protocol, that’s how. Join us for a trip into the depths.
Then, for part two, we move into the second instalment in our two-part series on life support structures (part one here). Once we get a grip on our personal values, we can begin to hone in on the domains of life and support that work for us. Nature, relationships, exercise, meditation, diet, healthy work – how do we turn these into support structures, into growth structures, into leave-my-structures-alone-and-screw-all-this-ridiculous-self-improvement structures? We’re asking big questions here, all in the service of existential good times, CEC-style.
