From the Director

A number of you have written and asked about the Summer Feast for the Soul. We know that going deep is not as easy when the weather is warm and you are busy outside. However, we hope you will take this opportunity to drop in and refresh your practice with us beginning on June 15. Welcome the powerful energy of the Summer Solstice by preparing yourself with daily practice.

Please invite others who may not have a daily practice, or who have not meditated before, to join us. We will post meditation instructions on our Talk Shoe site over the coming weekend and guided meditations will be available on Talk Shoe as they were for the Winter Feast.

Wishing you a joyful summer wherever your life leads you.

2009 Summer Feast for the Soul

The 7-day Summer Feast offers you an opportunity to refresh you daily practice and join other participants around the world in daily heart-opening meditations. Our three meditation guides: Jeddah Mali, Phil Jones, and Shahabuddin David Less will all offer guided meditations during this seven day practice period. We know that many of your have your own practice which you do on your own. Joining with these great teachers can often refresh your practice and offer new pathways to the wisdom and peace that we all seek.

You can access the meditations by going to www.talkshoe.com. Search for winter feast (two words) in the search box in the upper right hand corner.

Please join us…and consider bringing others with you: family members, community members, your Sangha, or others who may not have meditated before. The energy generated by hooking up with the group is very powerful.

Meditation Instructions on Talk Shoe

There will be two 30-minute instructional recordings on our talkshoe site for newcomers who may need some coaching to get started with a meditation practice. I will be recording those over the coming weekend. They will be based on the work that is presented in my eBook: Path to Peace.
