“Autumn…the year’s last loveliest smile.” -William Cullen Bryant

Dear Beloved Community,

Every season plays an important role in our lives, and each one symbolizes its own different, yet powerful theme. Autumn is a paradox. It is a season of beautiful color, yet a season of death. It is a season of loss (falling leaves, dying plants, ending of green life), yet a time of harvest and bounty. It is a season of warm colors, yet a season of cooling air. 

It is the season that prepares nature for the pruning process which will ultimately result in seeds for the next chapter. It’s a great time to take inventory of what you need to trim back or tend to differently as you settle inward for the coming months.

As the leaves start to bring forth their vibrant colors and the feeling of the air begins to change, I hope you can appreciate the cyclical beauty Mother Nature presents. As the leaves change color, we too change, working to become the best versions of ourselves and to better the world around us.

Change surrounds us each new day and each new season. Change is all around us.  It is a choice that we make to be open, hopeful, and accepting to the miracle of change. 

I invite you to join me for Online Group Meditation Tuesday September 27th at 7pm for a guided Meditation on Fall, Change and Letting Go.

Please contact me through the "Contact Eileen" link on the left no later than the Monday before Group Meditation to receive the Zoom link. 

May we have hope in the miracle of change; acknowledging that people, just as leaves, have and always will continue to change even through the most difficult of seasons.  May we nourish the belief that change is possible and continue to be amazed as we observe those incredible changes occurring each day and season of our lives.

“Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.” -Friedrich Nietzsche
 

Donations will be gratefully and joyfully accepted through VENMO (Eileen-Shaw-8)

Please give what you can. Money should never prevent anyone from joining us. 

The practice of generosity allows us to see the world from the point of view of what we have and what we have to give, instead of seeing it from the perspective of what we don’t have and desperately want. 

No matter what we have or don't have, we can all generously share the practice of meditation and compassion with one another.
