Meditation Circle
2021-11-20 19:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
MEDITATION CIRCLE FOR WORLD PEACE AND HEALING – CONNECT WITH A PURPOSE: An event occurring on the third Saturday of every month from 7-8 p.m.
The disconnection that we feel with the world around us can be healed as we deepen the connection with ourselves. Unite in harmony to balance the body, mind, heart and spirit through meditation and prayer. Connect to yourself with a purpose, and create what you individually need to achieve wholeness within. Allow this state of wholeness to be an opportunity for self-healing and the healing of others.
As the healing light enters into ourselves, we are able to graciously channel it in a way that brings healing to all things across the Earth.
What to expect from this mediation circle?
1. Peaceful Community Building: Build a community that serves to bring peace and healing to all of humanity through meditation and prayer.
2. Anxiety & Stress Relief: Learn and practice a variety of meditation techniques that help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
3. Meditation Myth-Busters: Debunk common misconceptions regarding the practice of meditation, and break through conditional barriers to enhance meditation practice.
4. Nurturing Growth: Create an environment that inspires personal and spiritual healing and development.
It is recommended that attendees come with personal-related, community-related, or global-related things that they would like to send healing and peace to.
This group understands that everyone is at different stages along his/her personal and spiritual growth and healing processes. As such, participants are reminded to help create a peaceful and accepting environment that nurtures all people and the many stages of growth, learning, and healing.
Embody compassion, love, kindness, non-judgement, respect, and patience, with yourself and others.
This virtual event is hosted by Natalie Nevola, undergraduate student and Reiki Practitioner.
