Morning Meditation Tune-Up for Bioneers: Aligning with Life

September 6, 2012 by

As you enter into this exciting day of learning and sharing, can you feel your heart beat, and the earth beneath your feet? Can you sense life pulsing and coursing through you?

Are you letting its currents fuel and nourish you? Can you tell what’s enlivening, and what’s deadening, and how your life force is seeking to guide you? And can you feel the impact of what you say and do on the web of life around you?

This morning tune-up will offer an opportunity to start the day by connecting with ourselves, each other, and the larger intelligence of life, and carry that alignment into the rest of the day.

Highly recommended for anyone who tends to find the whirlwind and excitement of conferences over-stimulating or bodily exhausting. This will be an opportunity to fill up, digest, restore, and learn how to move through the rest of the day in greater partnership with life.

Moonrise Tent | 8am-8:45am, Sat

They are working to transform the world, address the global environmental crisis and find ways toward a more sustainable, spiritual and harmonious relationship with the planet. From organic farms, to the rainforests of British Columbia, to rare footage of HRH interviewing Al Gore about climate change in 1988, Harmony introduces viewers to a new and inspiring perspective on how the world can meet the challenges of climate change globally, locally and personally. (90 minutes)
