The Higher Minds Podcast: Recent Episodes
Christina Drosos
Welcome to The Higher Minds Podcast - Where we bring elevated conversations to all things mindfulness and meditation. Our mission is to expand awareness and normalize the practice by bringing on key leaders in business, mental health, high performing athletes, and everyone in between on how meditation has impacted their life and is shaping our society today.
This meditation is designed to be effective for all levels, whether you’re a first time meditator or have an established practice, so that you are able to tap into stillness, gratitude, and set your intention for the day and week ahead!
On this episode, we've joined with Shea Gardner to about Covid-19, her 100 hour Silent Meditation retreat, and how cultivating a meditation practice can help us navigate times of uncertainty. Shea is a partner and mother of 2 living on the southside of Chicago with her family. She is an RYT 200 and Trauma Informed Instructor, Youth Worker, Writer, Artist, and co-founder of Maroon Village (501c3). Shea holds space for beings of all ages and backgrounds. After recognizing the healing and transformation of her own traumas taking place in her life both on and off her yoga mat, from relationships to life decisions, she knew there was something special about the practice of connecting mind, body, and spirit and wanted to share it with her communities. Through a balance of breathwork, meditation, and movement, Shea weaves in self study in a down to earth practical way. Shea hopes students leave her classes feeling more empowered and equipped to find peace in being themselves in the present moment. You can find more about Shea on her Instagram handle @hippiebumpeace, her non-profit @maroon_village , as well as her blog sheagardneryoga.com If you're interested in doing a silent meditation retreat yourself, check out https://www.dhamma.org/
