The Story
About Samvedana
Samvedana means compassion, the feeling that lets us meet another, and ourselves, with tenderness.
Over three days in a circle of presence, we prepared the ground within, sowed the seed of self-kindness and tended its first shoots, through breath, movement, silence, ritual and sharing.
It was not a space for rushing or fixing, but an invitation to slow down, to feel and to come home to the heart, so that kindness could ripple outwards into life and relationships.
We will listen. We will soften.
Who it was for
- Anyone ready to slow down and listen to the heart
- Those who are hard on themselves and long for gentleness
- Anyone wishing to soften old grief
