Meditation
30 minutes, each.
Last year, on my own initiative, I facilitated meditation prior to each day's conference; over a dozen people showed up each morning.
Before Day One's events : 20-minute guided meditation on full awareness of breathing
Day Two : 20-minute walking meditation on the grounds of Fort Mason (the Meadow, or along the pier).
Day Three : 20-minute kindness meditation (metta).
Each technique can be used anytime, anywhere; a SoCap souvenir gift from that keeps on giving!
Why meditate? To clear the mind, open the heart, gladden the spirit, sharpen concentration, awaken compassionate curiosity, generate community, and encourage our finest capacities.
