SUMMARY:Silent Ground\, Speaking Heart: A Zen and Relational Meditation Retreat for Young Adults (18-35)
DESCRIPTION:Led by Sofia-Jeanne Caring and Patrick Kennyō Dunn \nThis retreat is an invitation into two complementary forms of spiritual inquiry: silent meditation and interactive relational practice. Each of these practices reveals different dimensions of awareness\, presence\, and truth. In stillness\, we encounter ourselves beyond words; in dialogue\, we discover ourselves in the mirror of another. Held together\, these practices form a powerful combination that helps loosen our stuck patterns and open the heart of compassion. \nTrue transformation requires the courage to meet ourselves exactly as we are— in both comfort and challenge. Both practices (meditation + circling) invite us to bravely step beyond familiar patterns\, to sit with discomfort rather than turn away\, and to remain present even when vulnerability arises. When we willingly walk to our own edges\, our capacity for presence expands in ways we couldn’t have imagined. \nOur days will weave between seated meditation and relational meditation\, a practice of authentic\, present-moment interaction and dialogue. In meditation\, we return to the breath\, the body\, and the bare experience of being. In circling\, we open to the immediacy of connection\, curiosity\, and relationship. Both practices are rooted in presence and inquiry. Rather than compartmentalizing the two\, we’ll explore how they can enrich\, complement and inform each other! \nThis retreat is for those drawn to explore reality not just on their own cushion\, but also in the living field of human connection. Together we’ll create a field of sincerity\, reverence\, and play. \n

SUMMARY:Sound Healing
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Sirius Community for a sound healing lead by Nicole Ward (https://www.prismlighthealing.com) & Leo Ryan. \n  \n\nWhy sound?\n\n\nHave you ever witnessed live music and felt the vibrations of a bass or drum that was so low that it vibrated your body? Have you ever heard the piercing clarity of a bell that instantly brought your awareness into the moment? Have you ever been soothed into a trance through the gentle ambience of a repetitive sound? \nSometimes these sounds can be jarring and annoying\, but they can also be therapeutic when used intentionally for the purpose of healing. For thousands of years\, every human culture has evolved the use of sound to facilitate physical\, emotional\, mental\, and spiritual release and cohesion. Journeying with sound is perhaps our oldest and ever-relevant method of medicine. \nIntroducing specific fields of resonance through healing sounds to the body creates an immediate affect. Through the process of entrainment\, the body is encouraged to energetically reorganize into a more coherent pattern\, which shows up in the physical as the relief of blockages and activation of sluggish cells. The vibrational conversation that occurs between the body and the instruments is a deep one that spans beyond the conscious mind. It is through this conversation that the body’s natural systems are inspired to find new and refreshed pathways of health\, vitality\, creativity\, and conscious choice. \n​ \nMany people report experiences of spontaneous insight\, increased energy\, clarity of mind\, sustainable focus\, calm wellbeing\, and attunement to extrasensory perception when working with sound in this way.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Emotional Healing Processes.
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \nThere is a difference between feelings\, which originate in the present and are for handling things\, and emotions\, which are unhealed wounds that originate from the past. This workshop is about learning how to be in touch with your feelings without getting stuck in emotional reactivity. There is a difference! \nWe will experientially go over the Four Feelings Cycle\, how to get out of stuck emotional patterns\, how to extract wisdom from your feelings\, and how to heal emotional wounds. \nMore specifically\, we’ll cover the distinctions between: \n\nFeelings (origin is in the present) vs Emotions (origin is in a past\, unhealed wound\nConscious and unconscious uses of feeling\nWhat an Emotional Healing Process is\, how to trace emotional reactivity to the wound it is rooted in\, and how to make new decisions about that wound\n\nWe will practice: \n\nFeeling our feelings\nDistinguishing between our feelings and emotional reactivity\nHolding vacuum spaces for others so they can express higher levels of feeling\nHow to be with and let emotional energy move in our bodies\nTreating our feelings not as second-class citizens to our minds\, but as valuable sources of information and energy for our lives\n\n“Give someone a healing process and they’ll be okay for a day. Teach people how to hold emotional healing processes for each other\, and they’ll be okay for a lifetime.” – someone\, once. \n6-9pm @ Sirius Community \n$25\, no one turned away for lack of funds \n\nBios: \n\n\n\nDaway is an intimacy negotiator and mythic storyteller. His favorite hobby is going into “liquid state\,” the groundlessness that happens when old stories about the world and who he can be\, dissolve. He loves being with people committed to the hard work of ego transformation and creating ecstatic communities with those kinds of folks. \nMeredith is a community researcher and former school teacher who cares deeply about helping people become more alive and have better\, more connected\, and more intimate relationships with each other. She is a somatic practitioner who works with stuck emotions in the body. \n\nhttp://www.dawaychouren.com \nhttp://www.meredithwitt.com \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/621715354214182/ \nRegistration Link Here > https://forms.gle/gspYJ2BvcAPBz6s28

SUMMARY:Compassionate Communication Course (Final Class 6)
DESCRIPTION:Over six weekly classes\, we’ll learn tools to create more understanding\, connection\, and empathy in charged emotional situations. The course is inspired by Marshall Rosenberg’s Non-violent Communication\, or “NVC”. \nCompassionate communication invites us to explore the underlying needs behind the feelings that come up in charged conflicts. Using an “NVC” approach we’re called to listen with curiosity and empathy to ourselves and to each other as a basis for engaging in challenging conversations head-on. NVC has become a powerful support for our community’s conflict resolution process. It’s not perfect\, or a cure-all\, but it gives us a language of the heart that can foster the connection needed to work through issues. We look forward to connecting with you all and exploring these concepts and practices! \nRegistration \nCourse Details

SUMMARY:Compassionate Communication Course (Class 1 of 6)
DESCRIPTION:Over six weekly classes\, we’ll learn tools to create more understanding\, connection\, and empathy in charged emotional situations. The course is inspired by Marshall Rosenberg’s Non-violent Communication\, or “NVC”. \nCompassionate communication invites us to explore the underlying needs behind the feelings that come up in charged conflicts. Using an “NVC” approach we’re called to listen with curiosity and empathy to ourselves and to each other as a basis for engaging in challenging conversations head-on. NVC has become a powerful support for our community’s conflict resolution process. It’s not perfect\, or a cure-all\, but it gives us a language of the heart that can foster the connection needed to work through issues. We look forward to connecting with you all and exploring these concepts and practices! \nClick Here to Register \nClick Here for Course Details  \n

SUMMARY:The Interconnectedness of All Life: Intro to Insight Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:We often perceive ourselves as separate from the deeply relational universe we live in\, and when we suffer\, our reaction is to increase that separation. The Buddha taught a path to freedom that recognizes the interdependence of all things. By accepting this interdependence\, we learn to see clearly the conditions that give rise to our suffering and the wise path to follow. \nThrough the practice of Insight Dialogue\, we can start this journey by letting go of our attachment to self and others\, and by fully embracing whatever is present in each moment. Join us for a weekend at Sirius\, and intentional community nestled in the woodlands of Shutesbury\, MA.
