Evoking Dharma: An Introduction to Meditation
Saturday, 8:45 am – 9:45 am • Presenter: Monica Graves
New Culture Camp
Dharma is the Sanskrit term for "purpose in life," and each of us has been gifted with a beautifully unique set of talents that allow us to express this purpose. Yet even in a community as rich and creative as ours, our true soul's calling for these gifts can easily become lost or muffled in the real world of "should" and "success." In this introductory workshop, I offer simple and basic techniques to evoke this Dharma through meditation. Participants will learn a mantra based practice and a few soul questions to help access inner wisdom... These practices can be used together or alone to help quiet the mind, and find clarity through stillness. I'll also focus on the practical how-to's of meditation to encourage and support a regular practice beyond YOUtopia! Return to Saturday Schedule.

New Culture 101
Saturday, 12:15 pm – 1:30 pm • Presenter: New Culture San Diego Community
New Culture Camp
Once we step out of society’s Old Default Culture we start to engage
in creating New Culture. New Culture includes many sub-cultures
e.g. Burning Man, Poly, Tantra, Naturist, Queer, Open Source, Maker, Zegg,
HAI, etc. and is much larger and richer than any of these components.
How are we consciously co-creating New Culture for our community, our
family and ourselves? What are our shared values and principles? How
do we express them in communication and practice? Who are our
partners in creating New Culture? What do they offer us and how can
we participate with or be in solidarity with them? Is New Culture
already defined or is it an open ended exploration? What might New
Culture offer for
employment, raising a family or for artistic and
spiritual expression? How can we use New Culture to unlock abundance,
health and satisfaction in our lives? Please join us for a rich
conversation exploring the New Culture which is emerging in our
community. Return to Saturday Schedule.
