Meditation & Discussion: Getting Unstuck

We all feel stuck in life from time to time. This tells us that it's time to do something different. Getting unstuck requires looking at ourselves and the world with fresh eyes. We will practice and discuss. This event is based on Tristan's personal mastery approach, where we learn to make friends with our mind to cultivate personal growth and inner peace. We explore the intersections of Buddhism, Stoicism, modern Psychology, and other approaches towards this goal. Our practices generally include some of the following: * Meditation * Mindfulness * Metta (Loving-kindness) * Breathwork * Sound bath * Journaling No experience with these practices is necessary. Beginners are welcome! Even those of us who have been practicing for years are still learning, and we have so much to learn from each other. As they say in Zen, we must maintain a "beginners mind." Our discussions are open to a variety of spiritual and scientific approaches to wellbeing, contentment, and enlightenment. We want to hear your ideas, but there's no pressure to speak in the group. If you prefer to just sit and listen, that's great! Whether you are seeking to find inner peace, or simply a space to connect with like-minded individuals, we invite you to join us on this journey. **Cost:** There is no cost to attend, but contributions are appreciated through Venmo @VitaLuminaCo. Please do not feel any pressure to contribute if you are unable. Your presence is enough! **To bring**: * Blanket, cushion, and/or chair * Water bottle * You may also want a hat and/or sunglasses * Journal & pen/pencil (optional) * Food and/or beverages to share (optional) **Location:** Silver Lake grassy patch, next to Silver Lake Rec Center (South of the lake): https://maps.app.goo.gl/RyPio7rJRPcT2nmb7 NOTE: This is NOT the meadow, which is further north. **Parking:** There should be street parking available.

Ten+ Tennis Tune-Up 3.5* NTRP

During During spring and milder weather this hour is reserved for private party . Feel free to check with me offseason if you don't mind the Heat. Also if there is no group the fee for a private hour is $40. Thanks for your understanding. What makes this workout different? For most players, it is the ability to master net play as well as enhancin g the ground-strokes to create 'all-court' game, coverage, control, balance, finesse, flexibility, ... altogether low-impact (on the joints) effective play. Here is a little information on my background. I have been coaching tennis for well over two decades. When the 'tennis powers that be' decided to turn our graceful, exciting sport into a boring baseline slug fest, tossing out the classic backhand with the bathwater, I resisted and have trained countless players in the traditional fundamentals of tennis which lead to effortless all-court coverage, accuracy, variety, finesse and power... About 50% of our focus over the decades has been on the 'Inner Game' which creates the perfect balance to our workouts. Side benefits for those who follow my guidance are greatly decreased incidence of tennis related injuries. I am a 'player-coach', and have never experienced more than an occasional minor strain that clears up within minutes to hours usually, but always fewer than 48 hours. You can check the >More >Discussions >Message Board for a couple of threads on things like tendonitis plus an excellent find on the importance of good body chemistry called 'Be Healthy Now'. Check this out! Table of contents for the "Who was teaching what where when" upcoming tennis history, in which I am said to be featured in chapter 1 and chapter 4. https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/8665ae_77f1c103ab7a40e2a5c0c43dd44198cc.pdf Final draft copies were distributed to tennis officials of the USTA and other tennis governing bodies at the recent US Open by its historian author. New publication date for all to see is April 2020. Anyone that attends my workouts with an open mind, ready to possibly look at their game from a slightly different perspective is usually pleasantly surprised. I think you will be as well! For future reference please contact me directly and early if you are interested in this event. This Meetup has contingencies, for instance it may not happen if the workout that precedes it isn't happening, and it probably will not happen if there is only one confirmation unless we convert it to 'Your private hour. (40$/hour, however, there is a non-meetup member and friend who attends most weeks and this hour is listed on our sister Meetup, thus a very good chance that this will be a group as the maximum is just four, really three because MU includes me in the count.) If you don't have my phone number, you may be in touch with me through Meetup message or email. I only exchange phone numbers via email. Please give me minimum 24 hour notice if you are interested. Skill level is usually 3.5 plus or minus... Thanks for checking!'

TEN+ Tennis Tune Up 3.5 + NTRP

Meetup has it's limitations, one of which is the locked in 'per person' designation on the fee. IF this will be a solo workout for yourself the suggested contribution is about 3 times that for members of a group. (There is a non-meetup member and friend who attends most weeks and this hour is listed on our sister Meetup, thus a very good chance that this will be a group.) We always begin an hour from a 'tai chi' perspective versus a 'kung fu' one. No particular experience required for this hour, as we will address your abilities and concerns at this time.

You should RSVP 'yes' far enough in advance, so that we may be in touch beforehand to make sure that you have my phone # in case you can't find us. Charge for this meetup is a flat $15 per group meetup (40 per private) which is SUPER INEXPENSIVE, as you may know if you've shopped around for an experienced 'player-coach' who even SPECIALIZES in the rudiments of the effortlessly powerful, all-court, classic game. (a la Roger Federer, that is!) If you don't have my phone number, you may be in touch with me through Meetup message or email. I only exchange phone numbers via email. Please feel free to share this meetup with your friends! Thanks for your interest! See you soon on court :)
