Ecology of Interbeing: A Six-Week Meditation & Philosophy Immersion

with Ro Grace

6 Sundays | 1:00–3:00 PM November 1, 8, 15, 22, December 6 & 13

This immersion is designed for anyone interested in deepening both their meditation practice and understanding of yoga philosophy in supportive community.

Rooted in the contemplative traditions of Yoga and Buddhism, Ecology of Interbeing explores the understanding that nothing exists independently. Drawing from the Yoga Sutras, Advaita Vedanta, and Buddhist philosophy, we'll investigate the nature of the mind, the causes of suffering, and practical pathways toward greater compassion, resilience, and freedom.

Rather than approaching these traditions as abstract philosophy, we will engage them as living teachings—practical tools for deepening our relationship to ourselves, our communities, and the more-than-human world.

Each session includes guided meditation, philosophical inquiry, and meaningful discussion to support integrating the teachings into daily life.

Each gathering builds upon the previous week's exploration, creating a shared journey of practice. Participants are encouraged to enroll in the full immersion.
