About this event

Bring your favorite frozen treat to this "Ice Cream Social" to celebrate late summer in the Northern Hemisphere in supportive community.

We will share about ways we connect to the Earth and More-Than-Human Community. Participants will experience an Earth Connection meditation practice, have time to engage in reflection on their hopes for their own practice and explore in dialogue with Justin and other participants how they can develop this practice.

You will receive two Earth Connection practices to try out on your own.

What is an Earth Connection Meditation practice?

In this sesion, Justin will introduce you to a guided meditation with your senses to connect to your body and the Earth. These practices support overall feelings of well-being, invite our nervous systems to relax and enter the present moment. They can be combined with other practices.

For this session, I encourage you to join from outdoors (depending on weather and your personal needs) or with a view out a window.

Justin is pleased to welcome you to this inclusive anti-racist LGBTQIA+ affirming community-minded space.

Important points: This will be an experiential workshop. I welcome your participation. To honor what folks share, the session will not be recorded.

Tickets: I appreciate your support in any amount. If you'd like to attend free, please enjoy your complimentary ticket! Welcome!

What you will need:
