TEACHER: Luke Anderson
THEME: Oh…
Luke: Lets explore Ram Dass’ playful “Oh…” response as a practice of noticing rather than judging. I think we can all relate to the experience of getting caught in worry, replaying an awkward conversation from three years ago, convincing ourselves we suck at something we’re actually pretty good at, or taking our thoughts waaaaay too seriously. We’ll meet what comes our way in this sit with a simple, curious “Oh…” instead of with resistance or judgement.
Through breath and body awareness, making some weird humming sounds together, and observing the ever-changing dance of light and form behind our closed eyes, we’ll experiment with responding to our experiences with two simple letters. “Oh,” and maybe we’ll cultivate some liberating feelings along the way.
