SUMMARY:Stephan Bodian ~ Welcoming What Is
DESCRIPTION:By its very nature\, consciousness delights in its expressions in form\, and awareness welcomes whatever arises. When we wake up to who we really are\, we discover the innate perfection of this moment right now. Nothing is inherently missing or problematic in the sacred mystery of Being. But the ego has its own ideas about how things should be and is constantly resisting what is and trying to impose its agenda on life. \nIn this satsang\, we’ll sit together in the silent mystery of Being and explore how to relate with our resistance to what is\, using the Rumi poem The Guest House as our guide. Includes guided meditation\, pointers\, and plenty of time for Q&A and discussion. \nStephan Bodian is a teacher in the nondual wisdom tradition of Zen\, Dzogchen\, and Advaita Vedanta. He’s been offering the School for Awakening\, an annual multi-month intensive program in spiritual unfolding and awakened living\, since 2007. As a licensed psychotherapist\, he brings a deep understanding of the impact of trauma and early conditioning on the process of spiritual realization and offers individual counseling and mentoring in psychospiritual integration. Stephan studied for many years with Advaita master Jean Klein and received Dharma transmission from Adyashanti in 2001. His books include Wake Up Now and Beyond Mindfulness.
