My courses offer support for heartfelt living and transformation. Our autumn season is going to be juicy! We'll be exploring what it looks like to put lovingkindness into action: how shifting from a conditional to an unconditional model of love empowers us to approach life with friendly curiosity, identify core needs for ourselves and others, and express needs and boundaries. Seven weeks of powerful resourcing and growth. We'll conclude before Thanksgiving to allow you to ease into the winter holidays with new skills and resources.
"This work has helped to transform my whole being and the way I relate to the world." - Amelia Urban Romaine, Grief and Traumatic Loss Therapist
Weekly Gatherings
With lovingkindness as a foundation we ground into friendly curiosity toward ourselves and life. Teaching is shared in a weekly session of meditation and conversation which takes place from 8-9 Pacific on Saturday mornings. You can join live or watch a recording later at any time that suits you until the end of the year. Meditations are also shared as audio files to use as you wish and keep after the course. This practice and community creates a sound baseline of trust and understanding. Folks in the last course said:
“There’s this ease now that I’ve been craving for so long. The meditation makes me feel safe and confident in my body.” - Sarah Itani
"Meditations were so easy to drop into, and gave me more value than any other meditations I've done. I've never had actual insight from meditation before." - Catherine Miller
Well-established lovingkindness can become a profound, radical source of peace, understanding, clarity, and a strength which is both gentle and ferocious. Lovingkindness as the true central ground of being helps solidly connect our moral compass to everything else. In Love in Action, we'll be focused on how to bring this into our living and relationships.
1:1 Support
Connecting with me in private conversation brings greater intimacy and immediacy to your experience. Most people choose to engage in conversation about how the seeds of practice are taking root in their personal lives; we share counsel and coaching. Some people choose this time for guidance in yoga, self-massage, energetic healing, or to have me create a personal meditation recording. All of my skills are available for you during these sessions.
"As someone who is very lucky to not have mental health struggles, I've often thought that I'd like a mental or emotional tune-up, but therapists really only deal with issues. I feel like working with you was that tune-up that I've wanted, and I'm carrying our conversation strongly forward with me."
"The gifts Dahlia brings in the form of intuition, empathic listening, resourcing and encouragement are a testament to her deep knowledge of spirituality, meditation, mind/body medicine and relationships. Our work together reminds me of who I am and how I want my life to be."
Sharing Circles
Each week there is also a slow written conversation. We take turns sharing: folks might wish to speak about their experience of our practice, or how the ways we are thinking are affecting their living, or about what's going on in their lives right now. They might pose questions or ask for advice. I reply to each person with a letter full of encouragement, support, teaching, and advice. Everyone who joins the Deep or Core Weave gets to read all of these. Folks who join the Deep Weave post twice, Core Weave once.
"Learning meditation from her is more than just learning to sit. The guidance, modeling, support and creativity in her courses is incredible. There's no comparison to any other meditation class, podcast, app that I can make." - Amelia Urban Romaine
"I am still blown away by Dahlia's response to my questions. I feel that each of her responses to my posts are like little love letters to me as I practice, which motivates me even more." - Meghan Elliott
Touchstone Pods
Quick, love-drenched, daily conversations by text are also an option. It's astonishing how transformational a few quick minutes of daily connection about lovingkindness or boundaries can be. A little reminder of the values we are working with and a nucleus of loving witness and social support can thread into our days like honey, like stardust. Folks often continue these connections beyond the course.
