The Storyteller: Aesop's The Oak and The Reeds

  • WITHIN Meditation Online via Zoom (map)

This guided meditation story class can help you revisit the magic and wisdom found within storytelling. This class will explore familiar stories, from fables to children's tales, poems to myths, retold by the your teller of stories, Kimberley, followed by a guided ‘absorption’ meditation.

We’ll use meditation techniques such as tuning into our senses, becoming familiar with our own energy, and enabling alignment and coherence inside our bodies. All that's required is your presence and openness to hear the story.

On April 25th, we’ll be exploring the fable of The Oak and The Reeds, looking at the importance of cultivating awareness of the choices we make in each and every moment. We'll examine how our resistance can create constriction in our physical and energetic pathways. In this session, we'll read this story with fresh eyes and then discuss how to apply any lessons to our own lives, followed by a guided meditation. We’ll use meditation techniques such as tuning into our senses, becoming familiar with our own energy, and enabling alignment and coherence inside our bodies. Click here to sign up!
