Weaving in Action: The Big Quiet (w/ Jesse Israel)

In today’s “Weaving in Action” episode, we feature the story of Jesse Israel and The Big Quiet, a movement he started 9 years ago to bring large-scale meditation to thousands of people at world-class venues.

The Big Quiet is a community-oriented, co-creation where each participant contributes stillness and silence to a larger shared experience, and in that stillness, reconnects with what it means to be their truest self. Jesse employs meditation as a surrendering technique, in which we must have the courage to face whatever comes up within us, and by doing so, give ourselves permission to be human. 

Tune in to learn how The Big Quiet was born out of Jesse’s own reckoning with anxiety, and how a moment between 10 people backstage at a music festival turned into mass meditations of thousands of people!
