The Meditation Co-Live I attended was incredibly well-curated. All participants were carefully selected, which allowed for a wonderful mix of different people - something that was important to me as a queer person. I got along with everyone and am happy to call many of them friends now - we're still in contact with lots of plans to visit each other in the near future. Any small challenges between participants were resolved in skilled and compassionate ways. As a facilitator myself I could see the care that was put into building a safe container. The meditation teachers were very skilled, humble, and had a great sense of humor. The schedule was very open and all participants got a chance to contribute to the program as well, which greatly added to the overall experience! No one was told to show up to every meditation and yet almost all early morning meditations were well attended. I loved how the laid back atmosphere went hand-in-hand with a serious daily meditation practice. The organization was smooth although we could sometimes feel this was one of the first runs they had (especially at this location). However, the support, openness, and helpfulness of and from the facilitators and organizers completely made up for that. The whole experience was joyful, meaningful, and strongly contributed to my capacity to bring my meditation practice into my every day life. Living in community like this, in such a beautiful place with so many cool things to do was just amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend anyone interested to gift themselves a co-live with Innate!
