Islands of Calm Meditation

Our meditation guides us to Care for Person, People, Place and Planet. Embracing all faith systems we co-locate Islands of Calm as individuals and collectives.

Around the world, media publish stories about turbulence, despair, anger and fear centred in our cities.

What if we could create conditions where anyone could experience in themselves an Island of Calm? What if that Island of Calm could impact up to 1000 other people to experience calm in their life conditions at home, at work or at play?

Marilyn Hamilton, Co-Founder of Living Cities Earth and Founder of Integral City Meshworks, has been leading a Zoom Islands of Calm meditation for Cities and Findhorn EcoCommunity since 2020.

Originally offering support to the Findhorn community in response to the pandemic, we found it helped people discern both turbulence and calm in the Field of our villages, towns and cities. Inspired by David Spangler's proposition that if we can find the Island of Calm in our hearts, we can influence up to 1000 other people, we discovered this had a beautiful and powerful ripple effect that calmed us and strengthened us.

Marilyn guides the meditation, inviting in the 4 Archetypal Voices of our Living Cities – Citizens, Civic Managers, Business Innovators and the 3rd Sector or Civil Society. She guides meditators to Care for Themselves, Others, Place and Planet, embracing all our faith systems and all life in our city bioregions. The meditation includes a period of time when everyone sits in silence, holding the qualities, dimensions and allies who help us co-locate the Island of Calm in ourselves as individuals and collectives.

After the meditation participants can (optionally) share their experience of the meditation. This is always delightful and valuable as we get a sense of the energies we are collectively noticing and sharing in the Field of our villages and cities.

Altogether the meditation lasts for an hour embracing the check-in, meditation and checkout.
