Gut Feelings
Pamela: I’ve got a feeling…we will be exploring the possibility that the body can know before we know. And what does that feel like? ;)

Steal These Meditation Ideas
Part of the CEC’s mission is to inspire people around the world to create their own quirky, self-lead meditation communities. To that end, we’d like to share these short descriptions practices we’ve lead over the years.
Trip the Light Fantastick
James: The actual line, from my namesake, John Milton, is this: “Come, and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastick toe.” What I think he’s saying here is: you have fantastic toes. Your whole foot, actually, is pretty cool, hinges of joints, pulleys of tendons and muscles. Don’t even get me started about your face. For this sit, we are going to settle into the contours of our body, the shape of us, infuse it with our attention and see what we find.
There’s A Song In The Clearing
Luke: This Monday evening’s consciousness exploration will send us on a journey into the world of song. We’ll use our body instruments and let our voices assist in releasing tension held in our bodies. Can we experience a deepened relationship with a song and feel it in a new way? Come along on an adventure into an imaginative space and allow your very own song to manifest. Have pen and paper (or whatever writing tool works for you) handy for a portion of this sit.
Sound Wave Surfing
Erin: Tonight we open our ears and notice what else opens too. Together we’ll ride the waves of a curated soundscape, using music as a conduit into the imaginarium of our consciousness.
Imaginative Contemplation
Avi: By entering experientially into a pre-existing narrative, our imagination naturally embellishes beyond the source text – interior fan-fic if you will – showing us more than we consciously put into it. Tonight we’ll explore this technique using a text from a well-known fantasy novel as our seed story.
