This meditation is deep listening within a communal conversation context. The flow starts with a reading around loss/love, then flow into a 20 minute meditation (silent observation of breath with very subtle ambient sound), then flow into a 20 minute conversation around love and loss (this conversation would be done in darkness/blindfolded), then flow into another 10 minute meditation, and the remaining amount of time would be returning to our sight and being in each others presence, then a closing.
