Meditation & Book Study Series

Start your new year with intention and connection by joining me for a 4-Week Meditation Series: Cultivating the Four Immeasurables. These sessions are designed to deepen your relationship with yourself and the world, providing a nurturing space to explore timeless qualities of the heart-mind: compassion, loving-kindness, sympathetic joy, and equanimity.

What to Expect:

  • Guided Meditations rooted in Mahayana Buddhist teachings to explore precious qualities.

  • A Contemplative Setting for personal reflection.

  • Optional Group Discussions to share insights, build community, and practice active listening.

When & What We'll Explore:

  • Saturday, January 4: Compassion & Loving-Kindness

  • Saturday, March 8: Sympathetic Joy & Equanimity

Time: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Where: 554 Ocean View Ave, Encinitas                                                                                                                                     Investment: $108

Whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this series offers a welcoming and supportive environment to cultivate these invaluable qualities.

Shamatha means “peaceful abiding” or “tranquility.”  Shamatha is an important introductory practice in Buddhism that leads to the practice of vipashyana, or insight. The purpose of shamatha meditation is to stabilize the mind by cultivating a steady awareness and to establish an anchor  for meditation.

What is Feeding Your Demons?

A ‘demon’ refers to the disruptive aspects of our own psyche, such as anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, or disease. Demons are often relegated to the dark recesses of our minds and fester there as we either repress- or ‘fight’ against them. This adversarial relationship with our demons is the very thing that polarizes our psyche. In our attempts to overcome our ‘shadow’, we become more enmeshed with it and our demons gain strength.

This practice is accessible to all and teaches us how to befriend that which scares us the most.

“By feeding our demons we move the energy in a more conscious way than we can by just expressing our emotions.”

—Lama Tsultrim Allione

Feeding Your Demons is a five step method created by Lama Tsultrim Allione which has benefited thousands worldwide and from every walk of life on five continents. The work transcends spiritual constructs, serving as a meaningful tool for anybody, regardless of religious affiliation or personal philosophy.

Offering Dana

Dana is the practice of generosity and the essence of the path to freedom-the first crack of light in our ego protected lives. Moments of generosity open our hearts and minds and alleviates fear that we don't have enough, and allows us to relax our clinging.
