That which can be revealed to us through cultivated listening and receiving in quietude is boundless

Shala provides an opportunity to give ourselves a few gifts rarely given in the fast pace of our day to day lives. Through all of the offerings at Shala, we’re invited to explore from the inside out, a simple and sweet invitation to be heard, seen, and connected. When the conditions are right, the phrenetic pace slows and what’s been needing to be seen in each of us has a chance to be recognized. Often when we acknowledge all that’s been waiting to be seen, it can release itself naturally and leave us with a deep sense of well-being and openness.

We meet weekly to practice the art of listening, give ourselves that gift of quietude, and settle into a natural state of reception, openness, and effortless well-being. We have a check-in and then an open forum to hear and be heard. We then move into a stillness practice together for the last section of the meeting. The group atmosphere is supportive, community building, and nourishing.

There is also opportunity to have private sessions with Jarret. Just as if your wish was to learn to play the piano, you might have private sessions with someone to help you explore technique and to offer best practices to help you develop the desired skills. A private session would explore the inner spaces and grow the skills necessary to reveal what might be causing conflicts, keeping us from achieving deeper and more meaningful relationships, obstacles to sleep and deep rest, reside in sweet stillness that nourishes and rejuvenates, etc.

That which can be revealed to us through cultivated listening and receiving in quietude is boundless and private sessions can help build the foundation necessary to explore and maintain a practice of this splendor.
