How the Program Works
You can be part of Waking Up to Your Life no matter where you live!
For 8 weeks, we will create a supportive community that will help you to establish or deepen your practice.
Program material is delivered through a combination of an e-book and online videos, group Zoom calls, weekly email messages, a private Facebook group and, for those who choose the Core PLUS option (see more below), individual phone support calls.
What We’ll Cover:
Module I: Preparing the Ground (two weeks)
This module will help you to create the conditions that support a consistent contemplative practice in your life. During these two weeks we’ll focus on: 1) clarifying your intention and 2) creating physical space and time for your practice.
Module II: Planting Seeds of Stability (two weeks)
This module will help you explore ways of slowing down, pausing, and settling. During these two weeks we’ll focus on how to begin a sitting meditation practice, how to maintain a sitting meditation practice, and how to work with your monkey mind.
Module III: Branching Out (two weeks)
In this module you will be exploring the many possibilities of contemplative practice; a tapas of practices! Our hope is that through this exploration you will discover your own path and what works for you. We’ll use the “Tree of Contemplative Practices” (created by Maia) as a tool for this exploration.
Module IV: Nurturing and Cultivating (two weeks)
This module focuses on the integration of practice into daily life. During this last month of the program, we’ll explore how to take your practice “off the cushion,” how to apply insights that are emerging from your practice to your relationships, family, work, creativity, and more.
