  • It's A Workable Day In The Neighborhood - 3/23/20

    Real talk about how to make use of this time when we're feeling the loss of things we love and a feeling of loss around our freedoms. In the pandemic time, we might label this "quarantine" but in other traditions, like Vipassana and Buddhism, there are voluntary times of this reduction called retreat. And they are for a high spiritual purpose. To generate compassion. Followed by a sit and a big virtual hug.

  • It's A Workable Day In The Neighborhood - 3/20/20

    Ironically, its the International Day of Happiness and for some of us, that's the furthest from how we feel! I talk about a teaching my teacher Max Strom gave me about an access point to true happiness, not just the smear of happiness on top of discontent. And Happy Birthday Mr. Rogers! Followed by a neighborhood meditation :)

  • It's A Workable Day In The Neighborhood - 3/19/20

    Hey neighbors! Today I talked about the root of our fears being uncertainty. No playbook. No precedent. And we tend to focus on what we DON'T know. But right now is a call for us to recognize what we DO KNOW and that we are adaptable and can rise up to whatever changes happen. Reading from Pema Chodron's Comfortable with Uncertainty. And a nice sit. Love you all.

  • It's A Workable Day In The Neighborhood - 3/18/20

    With inspiration from the beloved Mr. Rogers, our neighborhood came together again today to talk about suffering as the friction caused by resisting what is. And how hard but beneficial it is to release it. Reading from Jack Kornfield's The Wise Heart. Then we sat in meditation together. May it be of benefit.

About Stoop Sits

From the publisher's feed

At the start of the quarantine and shelter in place orders during the COVID19 pandemic, I decided to create a virtual neighborhood stoop on which come together, talk about how we feel, apply some yogic wisdom and do a daily guided meditation.
