Eye of the Hurricane Practice Group

“Through the expression of our diverse and astounding gifts, we adapt, transform, and evolve communally in relation to the living land and all living things. Each of us plays our part in this collective transformation. Our web of relation spins the world together.” 
– Lisa Maria Madera

Created by popular request (“We need Eye of the Hurricane 3!”), this Practice Group is a space for folks who have completed Eye of the Hurricane 1 and/or 2. Here, participants continue practicing, connecting, and inspiring each other … in community.

In our sessions, we share experiences, discuss readings or videos, engage in practices, and, perhaps most importantly, support each other as we catalyze and bring conscious response to climate (and everything!) change.

In addition to the Practice Sessions, we deepen our sense of community through a Mighty Networks Course Page where we stay connected through posting experiences, inviting conversations, and sharing resources.

“Each era of the universe is unique, never to be repeated. It’s as if at dawn a deep and resonant voice calls forth to every entity in existence, ‘Become your unique self. The universe advances only if you blossom forth as you.’”
– Brian Thomas Swimme

As a humane being, co-founding teacher of Monterey Bay Meditation Studio, and licensed marriage and family therapist, Marianne is dedicated to cultivating eco-systemic consciousness and living in-cahoots with Earth, Cosmos, and Life in all forms. Marianne’s insatiable love of learning has led her into certifications as a nature & forest therapy guide, eco-therapist, California naturalist, and Authentic Relating facilitator, along with certifications in eco-psychology, climate stewardship and climate psychology. She has been practicing meditation since the last century and teaching mindfulness meditation to children and adults since 2006.
Her sense of belonging and aliveness is sourced and deepened through walks, sits, and gazing with the Pacific Ocean, forest, night skies, along with evolutionary, envisioning conversations with beloved friends and colleagues. Read more.

Having a space that is quiet and where you are not likely to be interrupted will contribute to a more beneficial experience for yourself and all participants. Co-creating a container of respect and presence for this conversation will enhance the benefits of this experience for each and all of us.

For this offering:

  • We recommend that, if possible, you view this event on a PC or laptop so that you have access to Gallery view and can see all the participants.
