Wednesday Weekly Meditation and Talk with Leah Penniman
Much research has shown that meditation is one of the very best ways to cultivate the brain states of self-awareness, calm and inner peace, lovingkindness, mindfulness, and happiness – as well as strengthen the immune system and nurture other health benefits.
Join guest teacher Leah Penniman for a live-streamed weekly meditation, talk, and discussion. Leah (Manye Ifagbamila) is founding co-ED and Farm Director of Soul Fire Farm in Grafton, New York, an Afro-Indigenous farm that works toward food and land justice. She also serves as a traditional priest (Olorisa, Omo Awo, Manye) in the West African Indigenous religions of Vodun and Ifa, and is a dedicated member of the Grafton Peace Pagoda Nipponzan Myohoji Sangha. Her books, Farming While Black and Black Earth Wisdom, are love songs for the land and her people. More at www.soulfirefarm.org.
These teachings are offered freely, at no charge. And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Leah and Rick’s Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
