You've heard of a silent meditation retreat: escaping your everyday environment to go somewhere quiet. This is not that. This is a silent meditation ATTACK: embracing our urban environment. We will meditate in cathedrals. We will meditate in museums. We will meditate amidst the honking horns. We. Will. Meditate. 🔊🔊🔊
⚡ THE 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
- 📍 11:00 AM sharp at Fractal Tech Hub (111 Conselyea St, Brooklyn). Bring a potluck item.
- 🤫 We are in SILENCE from when we leave Fractal (~12:15pm) until after St. Paul's Chapel (~7:30pm). No talking, no whispering. Nonverbal communication is welcome.
- 📱 Join the WhatsApp group. This is how you'll receive meditation instructions at each location. Keep your phone on silent.
- 🎟️ Buy your House of Yes ticket in advance ($31.50).
- 🧥 Bring: layers, walking shoes, ID, and headphones. High ~34°F, low ~16°F. We'll be walking and taking the subway a LOT. If you're sticking around for the dance party, wear clothes you can move and sweat in. Bring headphones for a music meditation.
🕐 CAN I JOIN FOR JUST PART OF IT?
Joining for the whole day is encouraged, but you can join for just a portion. Tyler will share live location in the WhatsApp group — find us and jump in wherever we are. Note: Tyler won't be checking messages during the day (he's meditating too), so just use the live location to find the group.
🔔 THE BELL SYSTEM
Tyler will ring a bell at each location:
- 🔔 Bell = Check WhatsApp for instructions. Read them, settle in, begin meditating.
- 🔔🔔 Double bell = Meditation ends. Prepare to move.
💗 THE DEFAULT MEDITATION
Unless the WhatsApp instructions say otherwise:
Invite an open-hearted feeling to color awareness.
