World Meditation Day — Meditation Workshop
Thursday, May 21 • 6:30 PM • Serenus Light, Makakilo
May 21st is World Meditation Day. And honestly? The world could use it right now.
This is a 90-minute workshop for anyone who's been curious about meditation but wasn't sure where to start, or anyone who's had a practice and just needs a space to come back to it. No experience necessary. No right way to sit. No requirement to "clear your mind" of every thought. (That's not really how it works anyway.)
We'll walk you through the foundations: grounding, focused breathing, and energetic protection. Then we'll guide you into a metta meditation, the ancient practice of loving-kindness. Metta is about sending compassion outward into the world and inward to yourself. With everything happening right now, both feel equally important.
Meditation isn't about perfection. It's about practice. You learn to notice when thoughts come in and gently release them, the same way you learn to navigate anything else in life. You don't run a marathon without first walking around the block. Start where you are. That's enough.
And because this night is about giving you something real to take home, each person will receive their Nakshatra Birthstar Mantra. This is a sacred, personal mantra based on the star constellation at the moment you were born. It's not something you look up online. It's given 1:1, rooted in deep training in mantras and sacred sounds through the davidji Academy. Kim is the only certified Nakshatra Birthstar Mantra teacher on Oʻahu. You'll carry your mantra home with you and into your practice going forward.
Whether this is your first time meditating or your thousandth, you're welcome here.
