SUMMARY:Stephan Bodian ~ The Awakening Power of Relationship
DESCRIPTION:Intimate relationships offer us the opportunity to awaken from the dream of separation and realize our essential oneness with all of life. At the same time\, paradoxically\, they stir up our deepest fears and reactive patterns and cause us untold suffering if we’re attached to our expectations and beliefs. In other words\, relationships are a fertile ground for profound transformation. \nIn these times of social distancing\, when intimacy with loved ones has become increasingly tenuous\, we realize all the more how precious intimate relationships are to our emotional and spiritual well-being. In this satsang\, we’ll explore the role of relationship as a sacred mirror that reveals our stuck places\, core stories\, and limited identities—as well as our genuine heartfelt devotion to truth—in order to free us to be more fully awake\, authentic\, and heartful with family\, friends\, and\, in the most important relationship of all\, ourselves. \nThis satsang will include guided meditation\, teachings\, and plenty of time for questions\, dialogue\, and discussion. \nStephan Bodian has been sharing the direct approach to spiritual awakening for more than 40 years. A former Buddhist monk\, a licensed psychotherapist\, and a longtime student of Advaita master Jean Klein\, Stephan received Dharma transmission from Adyashanti in 2001. Since 2007 he has taught the annual months-long School for Awakening\, which will begin again\, in online form\, in 2021. His books include Wake Up Now and Beyond Mindfulness. \nwww.stephanbodian.org \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\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 48 hours.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter
