For this sit, or maybe not-the-typical-sit, we’ll practice discerning between the sacred and mundane. Perhaps we might find a mundane thing or two. Perhaps we won’t because there may not be a difference. Perhaps none of it will make sense at all. 

In this meditation on nothing happening, nothing much happens. A few pauses. A bit of something. Back to nothing. Long long waiting for something to happen, then we realize waiting for something to happen is actually nothing, which is where we want to be. This week at the Consciousness Explorers Club, we practice enlightenment, and irreverence, and irreverent enlightenment.

Join CEC for monthly outdoor meditations by the lake this summer! Bring your own cushion/blanket and we’ll sit together and meditate with the nature in the city.

We’ve all got our sacred cows: the beliefs and identities and very serious ideas about who we are and how we should be. Even (especially?) while meditating, we tiptoe around our selves and how we’re perceived. Well, not this week, friends! This week we’re gunna poke ’em and prod ‘em and see what they’re really made of… and maybe even giggle with relief when they fall away into spontaneous whatever-this-is!

Today at CEC you’ll each receive a befuddling koan designed to break your brain beautifully. Inspired by the irreverential zen paradoxical practice that magics clarity from confusion.

Consciousness Explorers Club legendary summer retreat is back!

Tonight we listen to the poppunk priestesses, electronica elders,  grunge gurus,  RnB rinpoches, soul swamis, hiphop healers and divine divas of all persuasions to let the music be our guide. 

We’ll start with an outdoor meditation by the lake to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall! Bring your own cushion/blanket and we’ll sit together with the unique perspective of looking back at the city across the lake.We’ll gather for an afternoon of community connection and mindful fun for all ages. Bring kids and snacks and drinks and games and whatever/whoever else to make it awesome!
