An I Ching Gathering for Personal Consultation & Community Practice
with Satya Doyle Byock, MA
Sunday, December 13th
10-11:30am PST
Event will be hosted online.
Access link is shared with registrants 24hrs before event & a recording is shared within 24hrs following.
The recording for this salon will expire after 1 week in order to protect confidentiality.
Following some brief remarks, Satya Doyle Byock will guide all participants through the simple ritual practice of consulting the I Ching. The focus of this salon will be on responses and community discussion.
This salon is primarily for those who already have a basic working knowledge of how to consult the I Ching.
Satya will not be teaching the mechanics of how to use the I Ching, but guiding discussion into the greater nuance in how it works and how to receive its guidance. There will be plenty of space for questions and answers to make sure everyone is finding their way.
Participants will be encouraged to engage with one another around their questions and the hexagrams received. Satya will be a guide throughout, available as a resource for psychological interpretation for individual inquiries and for overall group learning.
This salon is likely the beginning of a monthly gathering for group practice & dialogue sessions with the I Ching on the second Sunday of every month (subject to change!)
Given the somewhat personal nature and focus on sharing in these salons, recordings will only be available for one week following the live gathering.
If you have yet to learn the basics of consulting the I Ching, you can purchase the recording of Satya’s salon on “How to Use the I Ching”, which makes this material accessible and prepares you for these monthly gatherings.
Please bring your journal, your copies of the I Ching, and three pennies or coins of the same value for practice. Satya encourages all registrants to purchase at least one or two translations of the I Ching soon, if you don’t already own your own copy. You can find her recommended translations here.
