Travis has been leading social meditation for 10 years and will offer an introduction to the view and practice of Social Meditation on Wednesday, Jan. 20 at 7:30PM.

In social meditation, practitioners engage the qualities they develop meditating — such as friendliness toward one's self and a sense of being "on the spot" — and extend it into a social context with meditative conversation.

Travis likes to think of it as "reclaiming the language of being."

"A lot of times in social situations we think we have to present in certain ways or have certain expectations of ourselves, and this practice is really about letting that go and just letting ourselves be as we are," Travis said. "We're learning how to be genuine by synchronizing our body and mind and sharing from the space of the heart."

Offering our presence creates a field of authenticity, he said. "We can enjoy just sharing what it is to be human."
