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.

 

 


The Lowest Common Denominator

What is Contentment?

Boundaries

TEACHER: Jeff Warren

Everyone gets up and starts walking and deliberately follows a different person in the room but they don’t let them know who it is, so you just keep walking around and around in circles and everyone is all super-charged with hunter-instinct and I’ve done it it’s totally hilarious and fun and a good way to prepare for a stalking career.
