Welcome to the November New Moon. We are entering Sagittarius season and Thanksgiving holiday season in the U.S. For me personally, this is a complicated and difficult holiday time, as I am holding my fond and tender childhood memories of a beloved family holiday and the truth of settler colonialism and the genocide of Indigenous people. For this meditation, I am sharing with you a practice combining metta, compassion and equanimity as a means of holding the complexity of this holiday and giving us an opportunity to celebrate the goodness while honoring the heartbreak.
