Women’s Satsang: This Being Human – Bringing Loving Awareness to Difficult Emotions & Generational Wounds with Valerie Chaney
May 22, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm PDT
Ram Dass said, “Physical reality is truly not separate from the spiritual…Watching yourself, witnessing your karma as an embodied being, gives you compassion for yourself.”
Mark your calendars and be IN the love of community with the Ram Dass Women’s Satsang. This month we are joined by Valerie Chaney, and together we will explore how to work in respectful partnership with our bodies in order to bring presence and fierce compassion to the most tender parts of ourselves. We will discuss the two wings of awareness: mindfulness and compassion, and how these practices can help us develop clarity and resilience as we cultivate the capacity to greet all that arises with friendliness. Ultimately finding where “the cracks let the light in” and turning our wounds into wisdom.
Valerie Chaney is a writer, certified mindfulness teacher and dance instructor. She also co-hosts a podcast with her husband, Pete Holmes, called You Made It Weird. She lives in LA with her husband and three-year-old daughter and their dog Brody. She is passionate about embodiment, somatic healing, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, and the divine feminine. She is a self-proclaimed Bhakti Buddhist Feminine Mystic.
