To the women who lit the way for us…

In honor of International Women’s Day, we invited our community to take some time to acknowledge the 5 most inspirational women in their lives and send them a special meditation practice as a token of gratitude. The result was an incredibly special Beacon of Light collection that’s been chosen with so much love — and we’re unlocking it for everyone this week.

Unlocked for everyone until March 9

Thank you!

Debbi Jo: my piano teacher, and my spiritual mother since I was 9 years old.

My mother, Karen: caring, creative, strong.

Nancy, my BFF since college: brave, kind, honest.

My godmother Merla: adventurous, wise, generous.

The author Annie Dillard: the first person who articulated my own understanding of spiritual experience and made me want to be a writer.

From Siri ❤️

Thank for allowing me to be fully myself and for teaching me the reality of my unconditional belovedness.

You Don't Need to be Fixed

Meditation · 5-20 mins

You helped me so much

Purie, my mom. She's a single parent and has been raising me all herself since I was 9. She made everything possible for me. She's the fuel and my drive to continue living. Everything I do is for her.

Maria, my grandmother. She's very generous, helping me financially to finish my studies. I aim to make her proud. She's always ready with life advice for when I need it.

Perla, my aunt, a sister of my mom's. She's away from us, but she makes sure to lend a helping hand, always. She's part of the LGBTQIA+, and I've always admired her bravery. I want to give back to her one day.

Abegaile, my cousin on my father's side. We basically grew up together. I had a fun childhood because of her, and it's very fascinating to see each other grow and persevere. She taught me that mistakes are okay as long as I learn from them.

Sweety Detz, she's a friend of mine, and we go way back from college. We worked together for years, so we're basically there all throughout our adulthood. She's my safe space.

From Shiela ❤️

To the women who helped me throughout my difficult emotions and situations, I gift you…

A Peaceful Loving Heart

I'd be lost without your kindness

To my support group of extraordinary women: Czar, Darla, and Phoebe. I would be lost without your kindness. In the years that we’ve been friends, I learned to love and accept myself more because you cheered me on every time I faltered. I’m grateful for you today, and I’ll be grateful for you tomorrow — repeat until the end of the world!

From Des ❤️

A Grateful Heart

Meditation · 15 mins

Kindness, love, and strength

My mom — the strongest woman I know, she is my role model for life, she taught me how to achieve my dreams and have the strength to show myself up in life.

My sister — she represents kindness and an open heart. She teaches me how to be more compassionate, a better listener and better in my life.

My best-friend teacher Daiana, who is the warmest soul I know. She teaches me that a smile goes a mile, and her brightness was always inspirational to me.

To my recent flatmate Suki, such a powerful soul, she is so wise, and teaches me so much about spirituality, mind and soul.

To my dearest friends: Ju, Juliana, Beatriz, Carol, Laura and all the women that have been my shoulder during the years, you made me so much better. I love you all.

From Paula ❤️

To the women in my life: you are the true representation of kindness, love and strength.
