What are Radical Acts of Maitrī and Why Now?
You are invited to join in a 40-day experience of cultivating lovingkindness towards yourself by practicing daily “Radical Acts of Maitrī.” This process not only deepens a sense of unconditional friendship with yourself, it challenges the cultural norms that more and bigger and faster are better, that profit is king, that we should try harder, do more, achieve, strive, dominate, and of course win. Instead of living life on auto-pilot--rushed, busy, overwhelmed, under-nourished, full of “shoulds” and “have-to’s"-- —we will prioritize taking care of ourselves to live with awareness, grace, and ease. These 40 days are radical because they are about less doing and more being.
This experience is about taking care of ourselves so we can take care of each other and our planet. If we are going to be the change, to actually shift the culture into one that values people over profit, then we must begin with ourselves. If we are learning anything through this tumultuous time in our history, it is that we are in this together! There is no doubt that our own actions, thoughts, and emotions impact not only the people close to us, but halfway across the world. Think of it this way: we cannot afford to neglect ourselves. The degree to which we are able to take care of others and our world is intimately linked to our capacity for self-care.
In case this feels indulgent, unnecessary, or trivial, let me share one of my favorite quotes from one of our elders, Parker Palmer, who recognizes that self-care, a fundamental part of cultivating unconditional friendliness towards oneself is part of fulfilling our responsibility as humans, what in yogic terms we might call our Dharma:
"Self care is never a selfish act. It is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on the earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.”
This is the intention with which Radical Acts of Maitrī is offered.
♡
Here’s how it works:
The 40 days are split up into 4 sessions of 10 days each, each section is themed around My Tree: seeds, roots, trunk/branches, flowers/fruit. Participants are able to access a password-protected page on the Mytree Yoga website where you will find the first set of daily inspiration, activities, and practices that you can enjoy. You are free to choose the offerings that suit you and you are invited to share your experiences on social media. You will have access to these offerings after the 40-days in case you miss something or want to come back and enjoy it later.
