This course consists of three classes on Wednesdays April 3rd, April 10th, and April 17th at 2PM Mountain Time. Each class is 1 ½ hours long.

Learn how simple, contemplative practices can deepen your relationship with Nature and Nature’s healing gifts.

Discover the basics for supporting your health and well being through Contemplation and Herbal medicine.

Whether you already have a contemplative practice, or are looking to begin one, this course is for you.
Contemplation is the act of stilling our minds and attending to the Grace which is Present in all of Creation. In this course we learn contemplative practices that allow us to pay attention to the Natural world, and to the plants and herbs that have been given to us to support our well being and healing.

WHAT YOU GET:

Lesson 1: In the first class you will dive into the philosophy of contemplative practice and its relationship to medicine (as the art of healing), and specifically herbal medicine. This does not refer to CBD or Mushrooms.

Each week you will be given practices to do between classes to deepen your understanding of healing, and help you cultivate the habit of contemplation. You will receive feedback on your practice and your experiences directly from Kim.

Lesson 2: In the second class you will receive a new contemplative practice to explore, and continue to learn about working with the plants of the Natural world for healing and support for common illnesses.

Lesson 3: In this final class, you will review your contemplative experience and practice to date, and receive more information on herbs for support for specific conditions, so that you may continue to practice when the course is complete.

Where :  wherever you are, this class is through Zoom.  IF YOU MISS A CLASS, or cannot make Wednesdays, a video will be available for your use. You may take the course entirely by video and receive personal support for your homework, but class participation is encouraged.

You have the ability to be at home in a world that has been turned upside down! You do this by reconnecting to your true self, to the life giving, soul nurturing source of your existence, to your own deep Consciousness and Presence.

Meditation and Contemplation ground you in your calm core, that place where you are most at home. They teach you to carry the calm of your true self into connection with the outside world.  This is the basis for a magnificent and fulfilling life at all times.  Even in the worst of times.

Over the course of this meditation workshop we will discuss the philosophy and anatomy of meditation and explore 3 different techniques and practices using the three gateways of contemplative experience:  your mind, body, and breath.

The techniques you use for meditation make a difference to your success and experience.  Meditation is not one-size-fits- all. There are different techniques because there are different approaches for different people.

If you have ever tried meditation and had difficulties, or if you are brand new to the practice, this course is for you.

This practice and this course are not hard charging or performance based.  Your magnificence and calm emerge gently, at your own pace, in your own time, and in your own unique way.  I am here to guide you through the process as it unfolds for you, uniquely.

 This course includes:

 3 different techniques to learn and choose which works best for you

 The best way for you to set yourself up for success physically and otherwise

 Personal coaching and fine tuning to ensure the best results

 DETAILS OF THE COURSE:

In each class session we will: discuss the philosophy and anatomy underlying the meditative technique of that week, practice the technique, as well as review and finesse your experience with that technique.

There will be hand outs for the material provided each week.

In every class there is  time for in-class questions, discussion, and fine tuning of your meditation experience.

Between the weekly classes I’ll ask you to practice the technique for that week and report on your practice experience each week via email. I will give you 10 minutes of private consultation each week regarding your experience.

 There will also be a chance to share your experience with the group if you wish.

When:  Saturdays August 15th, 22nd, and 29th at 11:30am-1:30pm Mountain time (10:30-12:30 Pacific, 12:30-2:30 Central, 1:30-3:30 Eastern)

 Where :  wherever you are, this class is through zoom. 

 Class size is limited to ensure personal attention.
