Live With Awareness, Courage and Love (ACL) Meetup
Traveling to Your Self—Integrating Vacations into Daily Life
The theme of this ACL Meetup is inspired by the vacation season. Many associate vacations with the hope of leaving behind the unpleasant feelings of everyday life (e.g. overwhelming busyness, inner emptiness, anxiety, etc.).Often, there is the hope that life will finally begin on holiday. In order to fill the gaps of everyday life while on vacation, sometimes we get into sensation seeking stress by desperatey collecting exciting experiences, or in contrast, we do nothing at all out of exhaustion. In this meeting, we will explore through meditation, contemplation questions, and mutual personal exchange (outside the usual comfort zone) which longings we personally associate with vacations and what it would look like to integrate a piece of our holidays into our everyday life.
Please bring a notebook or journal to write in, and also your favorite personal vacation photo. RSVP early to ensure a spot; space is limited and we cannot always accommodate everyone who wants to attend. We usually have a nice mixture of regulars and first-timers--everyone is welcome! Bring someone you'd like to get closer to or just be open to connecting with new people :).Donation of $10 requested, but no one will be turned away due to inability to pay. This will be an online meet up, once you are registered, you will receive a link to the Zoom session.
