This New Year’s Day offers a grounding practice of 108 OMs - the ancient vibration of unity that gently settles the nervous system and supports emotional balance. Om-ing meditations at sunset was one of my (Machelle) favorite aspects of the month spent at an Ayurvedic center in Kerala, India this fall. I am looking forward to sharing this experience with our community and feeling the power of our voices together. A silent savasana will follow our Oms to integrate the sound and set nourishing intentions for the winter season, with the option to leave in meditative quiet or stay for a brief sharing circle. This free event includes optional donations for the Brunswick Beacon Food Bank.
