Location: Anahulu Farms
March/April Theme:
“Equanimity”
What is equanimity? Technically, it means “mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation.” But to me, equanimity is about being centered. When I’m in my center, I’m no longer pulled to react—whether it’s to something difficult or to something joyful. Instead of swinging to extremes, I can stay grounded. I can respond with clarity and intention. Try picturing equanimity like an old-fashioned scale—one of those balancing ones with two trays. On one side are the “negative” things: disappointments, frustrations, fear. On the other side are the “positive” things: praise, excitement, joy. Both sides are part of life. But equanimity is staying in the center, not tipping too far either way. It’s not about being numb or indifferent—it’s about remaining connected to a deeper part of myself that isn’t defined by outer events. That place of center is where your soul lives. And when we can stay in that space, everything else quiets down. We’re not being constantly pulled by emotional tides. We can be present. Here are a few good tools to practice to cultivate equanimity:
1. Pause Before You Speak or Act
2. Check in with Your Body
3. Create a Centering Morning Practice
4. Embrace the Present Moment
5. Visualize the Scale
Practice these tools and we will see you at our next IN PERSON Vital Living Gathering in May!!
Join us in person, or via livestream!
