Our August Day of Mindfulness

Our Day of Mindfulness with Dharma teacher Jeanne Anselmo was rich. We were inspired to deeply take care of ourselves on an ongoing basis while we are trying to work in the world for change. Part of taking care of ourselves was to nourish ourselves by being with sangha, including playing with sangha.

Deep Relaxation Meditation

A pause in walking meditation

We sat in meditation together, sang together, walked mindfully together on a beautiful summer afternoon. 




 

We ate delicious food from our summer bounty together and roasted marshmallows for s'mores together under the almost-full moon with wispy clouds floating by. 

Thanks to everyone who helped create this event through generosity and love! - Nancy Stewart

Sound/Music Meditation on June 20, 2017

This is open to all. A "free will donation" is accepted. There will be a mix of chant/song, poetry, bell inviting, and harp music. Bring a cushion if you have one.

Sound/Music Meditation Saturday, March 25th

Pamela Goddard is offering an afternoon session of sound/music meditation this coming Saturday, March 25 starting at 2:00 PM at the "Lantern School" 391 Turkey Hill Road (next to the Foundation of Light) in Ithaca. Both the space and the afternoon time are planned to encourage families to enjoy this special sensory meditation. There is so much in the world which may add stress and build anxiety and unease at this time. Meditation leader, singer/harpist Pamela Goddard invites you to let go and allow sound vibration to ease that stress and distract that anxiety. This Spring sound/music meditation will take place at the Lantern School, one room schoolhouse at the Foundation of Light. Bring the family for some relaxing sound/music meditation, including chant/toning, guided meditation with a bell (in the Plum Village style), and gentle harp music. This meditation will be directed towards lightening our spirits and connecting us to the wonder of life, helping us to release tension and anxiety. And, we'll celebrate the (eventual) arrival of Spring. Bring cushions or mats for your own comfort. Donations are welcome.
