Wisdom Lab: Meditation & Community Circle

Wisdom Lab is a monthly gathering that blends meditation with community connection. Wisdom Lab is shifting and evolving this month into a monthly group experience that bridges meditation practice with connection and community. We all carry wisdom, accumulated through experience, reflection, and inner work. But across cultures and centuries, long traditions also understand wisdom as something that arises more deeply and powerfully between people, in spaces where individuals gather with shared presence and intention. Once a month, we’ll gather for a shared practice of connecting to this collective field. We’ll begin by establishing safety and curiosity as a group, setting our intentions, sharing what’s alive in our hearts and minds, and tuning into the shared space. Then we’ll drop into anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes of group meditation together. This will be an open, receptive meditation, not focused on any particular technique or tradition. You’ll be gently guided in and out, with the majority of our time held in collective silence. We’ll close by harvesting anything that arose during the meditation and opening up space for social connection over tea and snacks. All experiences are welcome here! You don’t need prior meditation experience, though the ability and willingness to slow down and sit in stillness + open awareness together will be helpful. Our "run of show" for each gathering will include: • A warm welcome and time to settle in • Introductions & a group orientation for agreements, intentions, and shares • 20 - 30 minutes of open, receptive group meditation with the heart of our time held in shared silence • Open sharing in a relaxed, organic conversation • Tea & light healthy snacks • A simple closing round to mark the end of our time together Space is limited to keep the circle intimate and entry is donation-based (suggested $15-25). No one is turned away for lack of funds. About the facilitator: Charley Zheng is an intuitive and somatic practitioner supporting others in making deeper, more spacious contact with themselves.
