Sitting In The Witness - Guided Meditation (#295)

It's time we share our voices and be the witness.  East Forest discusses the current state of affairs, and with a call to action as shared witness to the happenings, the fire burning our house.  And with a new guided meditation to help you self-resource and connect with your inner light and strength - if you'd like to skip ahead to the meditation, jump to the 30-minute mark in the podcast.Find your protest: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/______________________________E A S T   F O R E S TLIVE - https://eastforest.org/ticketsUpcoming,Esalen (retreat) 627-30/25 (join waitlist)Ram Dass (retreat) 8/14-18/25FILM - watch Music For Mushrooms at https://musicformushrooms.comLEARN - Go deeper with the Journey Toolkit - learn, expand, and grow: https://explore.musicformushrooms.com/journeykitJOIN - sign up now at https://www.EastForest.org and SUBSCRIBE here on YouTube.COMMUNITY - Please support by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon http://patreon.com/eastforest.  Monthly Council, live streams, demos, and more.SHOP - https://eastforest.store/Connect with the Forest -@EastForest (IG) / @EastForestMusic (FB, YT, TT)FYI - this show has been inexplicably banned from Spotify Podcasts, to explain its disappearance from podcasts on Spotify.Become a co-conspirator of love.

Can we share our stories of personal insight and struggle in order to inspire positive change?  What does it mean to react with precision and grace?  This week, East is solo and shares his process and struggles.______________________________________E A S T   F O R E S TLIVE - https://eastforest.org/ticketsUpcoming,Columbus Art Museum (ensemble improv) 3/21/25 Treefort Music Fest 3/26/25Esalen (retreat) 627-30/25 (join waitlist)Ram Dass (retreat) 8/14-18/25FILM - watch Music For Mushrooms at https://musicformushrooms.comLEARN - Go deeper with the Journey Toolkit - learn, expand, and grow: https://explore.musicformushrooms.com/journeykitJOIN - sign up now at https://www.EastForest.org and SUBSCRIBE here on YouTube.COMMUNITY - Please support by joining our East Forest COUNCIL on Patreon http://patreon.com/eastforest.  Monthly Council, live streams, demos, and more.SHOP - https://eastforest.store/Connect with the Forest -@EastForest (IG) / @EastForestMusic (FB, YT, TT)Become a co-conspirator of love.
