4 |  We will explore the myth of Sisyphus in all of its absurdity, inspired by Camus--the body won't know the difference. This practice might be incredibly infuriating if you are in it to win it. This is an invitation to come with a sense of play :) |
11 |  Tonight we’ll explore the paradox of ‘Now’! On the one hand, Now is timeless; it has no duration (how long is now?). And yet ‘Now’ is all there ever is; it is eternal. Everything is only ever happening Now! |
18 |  We’re often told to let go of our worries, our stress, our attachments. But how to do that? Paradoxically, the way to let go is to let it in. If you stop resisting and allow yourself to fully experience the moment, it can pass right through. |
20 |  Join CEC for monthly outdoor meditations with the sunset and other human beings this summer! Bring your own cushion/blanket and we'll sit together and meditate with the nature in the city. |
25 |  How do you hold the direction without clinging to the destination? When to try hard in practice and when to stop trying? In this meditation we’ll explore the delicate dance of effort and surrender. |

22 |  Join CEC for a nature mindfulness experience in Toronto’s High Park! Inspired by the changing colours of fall and the beautiful practice of labyrinth walking, we'll start with some kid-friendly mindfulness activities and end with a period of silent practice |
27 |  Join the Consciousness Explorers Club teaching team as we explore the weird and wonderful world of meditation at this virtual Halloween retreat. The magic and mystery of contemplative practice will be on full display this weekend. Come get weird with us! |
