Workshop #14 | Solar Plexus Chakra (Love)
Saturday, November 23rd at 12:00 pm central, 10:00 am mountain, 9:00 am pacific and 1:00 pm eastern (90 minutes)
“What’s Love got to do with it?” ~ Tina Turner
Well, everything. When we’re in love we’re walking on air, but the double edge of this sword is that lack of Love causes much of the suffering in our lives. And it doesn’t have to be romantic – the difference between loving your job or not is huge.
I chose the Solar Plexus Chakra for this topic because Love has a lot to do with how we feel and use our power, and the Solar Plexus Chakra is our seat of power. Love is a fundamental part of us, and it holds a lot of the energy in our lives.
For this workshop, bring with you:
1 notebook or sheet of paper
Something to write with
A medium of your choice and any materials needed to work with it (i.e. canvas, paint, clay, handwork, pens, markers)
The colors, yellow, gold, butter, neon, white, black and anything that feels electric…
Ahimsa means nonviolence. A Warrior is someone who survives again and again. An Ahimsa Warrior is one who can do this nonviolently. Dealing with trauma is challenging, and recovering is a battle we face again and again.
This workshop is intended for those who work for peace within themselves, knowing that it ripples outward to create peace in the world. It is designed to teach us how to channel the energy of our past into artwork that heals.

Taurus Beaver Supermoon Meditation (Rest to Reset)
Friday, November 15th at 3:30 pm central
This Supermoon may have an edge of frustration to it. If you’re feeling a little untethered… spend some time working with the Earth, making lists to keep organized, or taking a moment to appreciate the people and things in your life that help you through troubled times.
“Today is a big day and full of choices, but we will always be stronger and better together. So let’s keep marching forward in the pursuit of loving ourselves deeper so we can be better at loving each other.”
~ ming + ming
Join us this Friday afternoon for a moment of rest to reset. Take a few deep breaths or meditate for a few minutes and connect with the energy of our group. If you’d like to try a guided mediation, check out the recordings at mingandming.com.

Scorpio New Moon Meditation (Ancestors)
Friday, November 1st at 7:30 am central
This new moon is asking us to look for wisdom from our ancestors.
Are there things that they did that we want to emulate? Are there things that we don’t want to repeat?
A good way to connect to our ancestors during this time of the year is making an Ofrenda. This Mexican tradition of honoring the dead starts by gathering photos of your loved ones and relatives. Decorate a space for the photos with flowers, ribbons, candles and freshly-made or favorite foods.
This allows us to remember, grieve and celebrate those who have helped to shape our lives.
We’ll start our day Friday with the sacred practice of remembering those departed. Sit for a moment or a few minutes and connect with the energy of our group. Perhaps we will feel all of our ancestors with us.
If you would like to take one of our mediation classes on Wednesday or Thursday night in preparation for this powerful new moon, you can sign up at mingandming.com/classes

Workshop #13 | Heart Chakra (Guides)
Saturday, October 19th at 12:00 pm central, 10:00 am mountain, 9:00 am pacific and 1:00 pm eastern (90 minutes)
Guidance – some of us use our intuition, logic, our higher power; some of us talk with our ancestors or angels. One thing is for sure, we are not alone when it comes to making decisions and choices.
Why is it so easy to forget that we are guided through life?
We’ll talk about our own personal guides and think about ways we connect with them when we need a nudge in the right direction.
We’ll be connecting on Zoom and working with our Heart Chakras for this workshop.
To create your healing artwork, bring with you the medium of your choice and colors like green, turquoise, lime, pink and white to start with.

Aries Hunter’s Moon Meditation (Guidance)
Aries’s Hunter’s Moon Meditation (Guidance)
Wednesday, October 16th at 8:00 pm central (9 pm eastern, 7 pm mountain & 6pm pacific)
“You cannot hold the river flow back so you may as well get on the boat and go for the ride.” ~ Lena Stevens, The Power Path
This Supermoon in October is called the Hunter’s Moon. Also known as Drying Rice Moon, Blood Moon or Sanguine Moon.*
It continues to be a time of transition… and we are asked to take responsibility for our well-being (and not expect someone else to fix us). When given the right tools, this task is easy. By the end of the month, you may have changed completely.
Now is a good time to plant the seeds of who we wish to be in the future. Consciously separate from those determined to stay in the fields of negativity, suffering, cynicism and despair…
Where is your energy going?

Workshop #12 | Throat Chakra (Wonder)
Saturday, September 21st at 12:00 pm central, 10:00 am mountain, 9:00 am pacific and 1:00 pm eastern (90 minutes)
Wonder… it seems to be easier to feel as children … awe and fascination with something new. How often in the routines and rhythms of our adult lives do we give in to the feeling of wonder?
Could this be why life-changing things happen on vacation? Do we need novelty in our lives?
We’ll talk about this and make some artwork :)
We’ll be activating our Throat Chakra, and we can start with colors like turquoise, blues – light to dark, silver, bronze and white.
Ahimsa means nonviolence. A Warrior is someone who survives. An Ahimsa Warrior is one who can do this nonviolently. Dealing with trauma is challenging, and recovering is a battle we face again and again.

You sense a lack of connection or meaning with how you spend your time
You approach every day in a similar way while hoping for your life to be different
You avoid uncomfortable feelings and experiences in unhelpful/unhealthy ways
You want to establish a meditation practice but have been too busy with other priorities

How avoiding problems keeps us stuck
How loving kindness can change everything
About your teacher:
Marc has been practicing mindfulness meditation since 2009. He acknowledges that the profound effects of mindfulness have slowly, but permanently improved his life by: helping him make better choices; fostering self-confidence in a challenging second career; and maintaining sobriety for the past 10 years.
Marc believes we all have the power and the intelligence to help ourselves if we are more aware of how we get in our own way.
In addition to teaching meditation, Marc works at Arizona State University as a research professional and he is fascinated by terrestrial impact craters that were formed by asteroid fragments striking the Earth. He is also pursuing an undergraduate degree focused on counseling and applied psychological sciences. Marc lives in Arizona with his wife and small zoo (snake, parrot and dog) and really enjoys mountain biking in the desert - getting exercise without even noticing it!

Capricorn Buck Moon Meditation (Clarity)
This Capricorn Buck moon is a good time to acknowledge the completion of some things in our lives. If it’s not working, let it go.
It’s time to take responsibility for our own upgrades. Be mindful of unconscious wishes you may be bringing into your world. Our thoughts become our perception, so the more positive the outlook, the better our results.
Join us for a moment of calm Monday evening. Meditate for a few minutes with the energy of our group, or if you would like to join our ‘meditation in motion’ yoga class, sign up at ming + ming.
