Monterey Bay Meditation Studio is dedicated to:
Accessing and cultivating internal resources and conscious community as we face and find our way through this time of uncertainty, grief, fear, upheaval, and collapse.

MBMS focuses on:
How do we be in relationship with what is happening?
What are the qualities that we need to cultivate in ourselves and in our culture?
How do we access our capacities to adapt and to evolve?

MBMS offers:
A field of enlivenment in which we engage in shared learning/unlearning/explorations, meditation, relational practices, outdoor engagements, and community that cultivate our capacities for resilience, flexibility, curiosity, courage, belonging, stability, balance, and compassion – all of which are keys to meeting and living in the current opportunities for healing, regeneration, transformation, and evolution.

MBMS links:
Inner healing, growth, and transformation with active and intentional engagement with Earth, Universe, and all Life forms, in service of co-creating and vitalizing a story that is lived as a culture of relating with all beings through collaboration, reverence and reciprocity.

“We are Earth unraveling and reforming creation. We are meant to engage not isolate. These are difficult days. What causes us to recoil, strike, and retreat is also what allows us to reach out from the anxiety of unknowing and dare to trust what is to come – a re-assembling of our humanity.”
– Terry Tempest Williams

To navigate this personal and global journey, we need to know how to “stay with the trouble,” (Donna Haraway). This engagement of sitting-with-the-grit can lead to healing, transformation, and evolution when there is support available for emotional processing and conscious response. MBMS offers:

  • multi-dimensional online and in-person courses

  • practice groups

  • experiential book study conversations

  • outdoor engagements

  • and community gatherings

that focus on cultivating the capacities that we need to develop in order to face the immensity of what is happening.

In Monterey Bay Meditation Studio, we are asking new questions, exploring different perspectives, and engaging multiple forms of practice in every offering. We reflect and incorporate the interconnection of Life and Living through 4 Currents of Exploration and Practice. These currents intersect and interweave, as how we participate in the Universe’s non-linear evolution towards greater connection and complexity. As we become more aware, we sense our unique embeddedness in this spiral of belonging: Individual, Community, Earth, and Universe.
