Mud Lotus Sangha
Lotus Mantra Workshop
This mantra, written as Om Mane Padme Hum, is well known in Tantric Buddhism, but this particular way chanting it is unique.
In this workshop, we will practice the mantra with a visualization and a dedication to the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (also known as Chenrezig or Quan-Yin) the embodiment of compassion. Avalokiteshvara is known as the "observer of the voices of suffering in the world." The lotus represents the flowering of our true nature, which is pure, kind, and wise and the Lotus Mantra promotes that flowering. Because it grows in muddy water yet remains unsoiled, the lotus reflects clear awareness and undefiled conduct, transcending the world of delusion.

No previous experience in meditation is required – the workshop is open to all.

Mud Lotus: Opening to Things as They Are
May I be free from preference and prejudice.
May I know things just as they are.
May I experience the world knowing me just as I am.
May I see into whatever arises.
Dear Friends, Please join us in reflecting on how we navigate acceptance of the present moment and moving towards a world with less suffering?

We'll sit for two 20 min. sessions with walking meditation in-between.

We believe sitting practice should be accessible to everyone, all bodies, body types, and abilities. Folks can stay 5 min. or the whole time and move in whatever way best supports their practice. We welcome folks of all religions, races, sexualities and gender identities. Please let us know if there is something we can do to support your practice.

Calm as F*ck - Guided Meditation with Live Music
Join Carisa Holmes and Joel Whittaker of Sanjati for a (totally legit) guided meditation with live music.

Relax on your favorite yoga mat, blanket or bed of nails as you soak in the vibes from singing bowls, didgeridoos, flute, voice and drums. The soothing sounds of synthesizers blend with the acoustic instruments to create a sonic bath that will leave you feeling, well, calm as f*ck.
This class meets the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month
from 6 -7 PM at ILLIO.
Class cost - $10
Some mats, chairs and cushions will be provided, but bring your own if you have a favorite.

Columbus Thelema Solstice Ritual 
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Come join the Columbus Thelema Meetup as we welcome Capricorn and the rebirth of the Sun for the Winter Solstice.

We have the space from 7pm-9pm on December 22nd, so doors will open at 7 and we will set up quickly and start promptly at 7:30. The ritual should last about 45 minute to an hour and afterwards we will tear down, clean up, and answer any questions anyone might have.

The ritual will involve some chanting, dabbing on of anointing oil, and the ingestion of a small, ritually consecrated cookie. If anyone who plans to come who has medical issues with either nuts (the cookies will be made from almond flour) or cinnamon (in the anointing oil) please direct these concerns to columbusthelema@gmail.com.

Donations of a dollar or two to help with the cost of the rental of the space would be greatly appreciated, but not necessary.

Thank you, and we hope to see you then!

Love is the law, love under will.
