Meditations for Resilience and Resistance
Description:
When meditation is approached with superficial expectations of quiet and calm, practitioners may inadvertently miss the opportunity to recognize the fiery heart of their being, the source of courage, grounding, intelligence, compassion, and capacity for wise spontaneous action. Meditations for Resilience and Resistance (MRR) sessions draw from traditional relaxation and awareness frameworks as resources, and from there, journey into resilience and resistance. Sessions will include guided meditation practice, group discussion, and Expressive Arts modalities (drawing, writing, movement) to help integrate new insights and experiences. This group is open to experienced meditators as well as to those wishing to begin or refresh practice. While no prior meditation experience is required and we will work within a safe container, participants’ willingness to engage with complex, sometimes uncomfortable material is essential.
Benefits:
Meditations for Resilience and Resistance is intended to help nourish and restore participants’ sense of authentic presence, agency, curiosity, and connection with self, world, and other.
Facilitator:
Julie Püttgen is a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with specializations in Expressive Arts, mindfulness-based approaches, and somatic therapies. A committed meditator since 1995 and former Buddhist nun, she facilitates retreats and programs exploring the intersections of Art and Dharma. She is currently training in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based trauma-healing modality. At the Center for Integrative Health, Julie offers Expressive Arts-infused psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and children; facilitates groups; and coordinates Community Enrichment Programs.
