SUMMARY:Ishtar ~ Melting into Wholeness: Re-enchanting the Cosmos
DESCRIPTION:When the mind settles into Silence\, the heart opens to the great mystery hidden everywhere in plain sight. The formless takes the form of Love\, melting the barrier between self and world\, reconnecting us to primordial Wholeness. This Wholeness is like a song that is already playing within. Every moment of life ─ sublime or awful ─ can be experienced as a flowing wholeness. Opening to this already present wholeness is the re-enchantment of the cosmos. \nIn the class\, we’ll practice a few simple but powerful ways of melting into wholeness: effortless mantra practice\, appreciation\, gratitude\, and opening directly to the flow of Shakti. \nIn addition to short talks and group practice\, there will be plenty of time for questions and answers. \nWatch Ishtar tell a story of unexpectedly discovering Silence and Bliss one sunny day: \n\nAbout Ishtar\nIshtar is a meditation teacher\, monk\, gardener\, and head teacher of the School for Awakened Living. At age 13\, he experienced a near-death experience\, and fell into a Samadhi. The desire to return to Samadhi propelled him on a spiritual path\, bringing him to an Ashram at age 18\, in the early 2000’s. Since then\, he has worked as a guide\, teaching effortless meditation\, and helping people relax into Wholeness. \nFor those wanting to learn more about Ishtar’s work\, his interviews can be watched on shows such as Buddha at the Gas Pump\, Conscious TV\, and Next Level Soul. \nFor more about Ishtar: www.ascension-meditation.com and\nwww.awakenedlightastrology.com \nSuggested donation: $15 to $40\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter
