About this Event
Give yourself 90 minutes to slow down, breathe, and connect.
Return to Origins is a welcoming gathering in downtown Barrie that brings together guided meditation, quiet reflection, and an optional sharing circle. Hosted by Jordan Lundrigan, it’s an invitation to step out of your usual routine and spend a Sunday afternoon reconnecting with yourself and other people.
You’re welcome to come alone. No meditation experience is needed, and there’s no pressure to share with the group.
Most of us spend our days working, responding, caring for others, and moving on to the next thing. This gathering offers a little space to pause—without needing to impress anyone or have everything figured out.
During our time together, we’ll move through:
- A personal welcome and opening circle: Get comfortable, meet the group, and establish our community agreements.
- Guided meditation: Follow a guided practice with time for breathing, stillness, and inner reflection.
- Quiet integration: Take a few moments to sit with your experience before returning to conversation.
- An optional sharing circle: Speak about your experience or simply listen. Both are welcome.
- A closing circle: Bring our afternoon together to a close.
Whether you’re curious about meditation, looking for a pause in a busy week, or interested in meeting people in a relaxed setting, you’re welcome here.
You don’t need to consider yourself spiritual. You don’t need to quiet every thought or arrive feeling calm. There is no particular experience you’re expected to have.
Come as you are, and take part at your own pace.
Welcome home.
