July Rural Caucus Call Cancelled
Hello Rural Indivisibles!
We know it’s been a stressful few weeks since we last saw you, one night before the first presidential debate. We know our goal has not changed: to defeat MAGA extremism everywhere. And we know that is hard work – and we might need some time to breathe.
This is why we’ve come to the decision to cancel our July Rural Caucus Call and pause the Summer Book Club. However, you aren’t off the hook just yet! Unfortunately for you, we are the types of facilitators who, like your least favorite teacher, will be assigning you homework to do during the hour we were originally supposed to meet. Fortunately for you, that homework is important work that will strengthen you in the long run: mindfulness. We’re asking you to take this hour back for you – but not to catch up on tasks and not to add more to your plate. We’re asking you to take time and breathe during this hour.
You can use these resources and videos as a guide:
Heartbeat Mindfulness: A 5-minute guided video.
5-4-3-2-1 for Anxiety: a guided video that you can watch to learn about a calming practice
Body Scan Meditation for Beginners: a brief set of instructions on a mindfulness practice that incorporates your sense of what is happening in your body.
…or any other mindfulness practice that you enjoy. This could mean sitting outside on this summer night, sending healing energy to someone you love, or putting your phone in another room for a while (and your laptop… and your iPad, and turn the TV off… we see you!).
Finally, we look forward to seeing you again soon so register now for our August Electoral Kick-off call on August 28th!https://indivisible.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkdOqvrDssGtPlxZxkEypxFSqEm90QeljA
