This non-sectarian event welcomes all meditators, from beginners to experienced practitioners. The program will be held from 7 to 8 pm near the volleyball courts on East Beach, across from the Santa Barbara Zoo. Look for tiki torches.
Please arrive a few minutes early so that you can settle in and begin the program on time.
For reference, check out this feature in the Santa Barbara Independent. Search “Tom O’Brien, full moon meditation, rupa meditation” on Google.
Please bring a yoga mat, towel or beach chair to sit comfortably during the program.
The program will include gentle yoga stretches (don’t worry, you won’t have to twist your body like a pretzel), guided meditations, and more formal meditation times.
It’s a good idea to bring a flashlight for the walk back to your car. It’s a bit cold on the coast, so dress warmly.
There’s always plenty of space on the beach, so feel free to invite 100 of your closest friends.
If possible, please respond to participate to ensure proper arrangements are made. Please email rupameditation@gmail.com or text 805.453.8965. All contact information will be kept strictly confidential.
Registration is $10 for adults, and donations are open to first responders, veterans, active duty military and members of the recovery community.
I look forward to seeing you on the 21st!
