Description
The Winter Slowdown is a series of guided meditation sessions offered in-person at The Hive. This series is born from the understanding that being human takes practice, and meditation is the practice of being human. The Winter Slowdown is an open invitation to slow the pace, be human, and connect to what is alive in and around us in this season.
Mindfulness Meditation teacher Brooke Thomas will facilitate these gatherings, guiding practices in stillness, which ground us in the present moment, as well as practices in movement, which invite us to bring our practice and caring presence out into the world. We’ll explore themes of nature, belonging, and loving-kindness through practice, community sharing, and journaling. Come as you are. Come when you can. Let’s BE human together!
All are welcome. No formal meditation experience required.
For folks who wish to continue and go more in depth with these practices, join our Being Human Takes Practice: An Adventure Into Mindfulness Meditation.
Intention of the Hive
When you join a Hive experience, you're invited into our intention to create a group experience that's inclusive, rooted in mindfulness, and dynamically relational. We aspire for each Hive experience to model these intentions, and even to refine them as we continue to learn how to gather in a way that's transformative! The embodiment of these intentions by Hive facilitators, Members, and class participants is what makes the Hive the unique and healing social container that many experience it to be.
