Meditate and Connect with Marci: A New Lunchtime Series
Compassionate Houston is excited to announce a new monthly lunchtime program series with our partner Marci Sharif. Marci is an author, yoga teacher, meditation facilitator, and mother, and the former columnist of “Feeling Matters” in the Houston Chronicle. Learn more about Marci at marcisharif.com.
Marci will present a virtual meditation and connection circle once each month, during the lunch hour, for connecting with compassion.
Each session will be 30 minutes long, from 12-12:30 pm. Use part of your lunch break to center, meditate and connect.
With a self-care and kindness focus, Marci will guide an inward and outward exploration of a specific topic related to wellness each month.
May Date: We are changing the monthly meetings to Tuesdays. The next meeting date is Tuesday, May 14, 12-12:30 PM.
Topic: Greeting the Unwelcome
The topic was inspired by Rumi's poem, "The Guest House." Enjoy a reading of the poem by actress Helena Bonham Carter for the launch of the anthology, A Poem for Every Autumn Day, a film made during the lockdown summer of 2020 in Wiltshire, England.
Registration closes at 8:00 PM CT on Monday, May 13.
If you previously submitted a registration form for Marci’s monthly event, there is no need to register again. We will email you a Zoom link the morning of the event. Please email us at info@compassionatehouston.org if you like to be taken off the registration list.
“Marci is a natural for creating a meditation community. Her passion for building connections and her intentional meditations are a great combination.”
““I’m a multitasker and my mind easily wanders. As much as I preach to my yoga class to focus on present moment, it can be hard to practice myself, so when I’m able to find the time like this session, to focus on my breath, to focus on finding a few moments of quiet and stillness in the body and mind, I know the benefits continue just beyond the peace and release I feel after, but carry with me the rest of the day.””
