Practice at Stream
Enjoy our small but growing collection of resources for your practice. Heather creates snippets of wisdom (video, writing, imagery) to inspire you on the path to peace:
Observe these two
Almost as soon as we start to practice meditation, to look inward, we see just how wild and untrained are the states of our mind. We are helplessly taken for a ride over and over and over again in endless patterns of reactivity.
The general instruction of ‘observe these two’ is to first take responsibility for our own self and sanity and, second, to be of service to others, helping them to do the same.
Overcoming obstacles to happiness
There is a deeply meaningful shift available to us when we begin to see our mind in terms of “movements” instead of “contents.”
“Doing is Done” mantra meditation
Enjoy a mantra practice that you can use in meditation or when you’re going about your day. The words are ‘doing is done’ — breathing in ‘doing’ breathing out ‘is done.’
You’re invited to practice with us weekly in person in Port Colborne, Ontario or live online on Zoom.
Insight Meditation, Wednesdays 7pm ET (90 mins), with Heather Fenton — Start and/or maintain a regular meditation practice. Each week, guided meditations are combined with instructions for bringing mindfulness into daily living. This meditation class is offered freely.
A Quiet Mind Satsang, Second Sunday each month 10am (60 mins, followed by refreshments and social time) — Join us for a monthly gathering of stillness, insight, and shared inquiry. These Sunday morning sessions offer a gentle space to explore awakening, inner knowing, and the timeless invitation to “know thyself.” By donation.
