Mikael Hedman ~ Working Directly with Consciousness
A shift in consciousness can change your entire relationship with what is already here. You may find freedom where you once felt confined, or a directness of experience that the effort to understand have kept just out of reach. Visiting from Sweden, Mikael Hedman offers an evening devoted to helping you experience this for yourself - with close attention to you as a person and what matters in your life.
His work draws on an intimate knowledge of consciousness and a precise sensitivity to where your attention becomes caught.
Working directly with you, he helps you recognize and release these points of restriction, discovering what becomes possible when attention is freed from the effort of holding things in place..... LEARN MORE HERE

Visiting from Sweden, Mikael Hedman offers an evening devoted to helping you experience this for yourself. His work draws on an intimate knowledge of consciousness and a precise sensitivity to where your attention becomes caught. The emphasis is on direct experience and integration: recognizing a shift for yourself, learning to sustain it, and allowing it to inform how you live.
Mikael Hedman is a former military officer whose work arises from a profound and enduring shift in consciousness in 2015. He combines an unwavering clarity of consciousness with a warm interest in you as a person. At the heart of his work is a simple willingness to meet you where you are. He helps you approach what you habitually turn away from, and discover what becomes possible when you can finally meet yourself there.
Note that Open Circle also has an online event with Mikael on Sunday, November 15th.

Mondays: 8:00am – 8:30am Pacific Time
Wednesdays : 9:00am – 9:30am Pacific Time
Ongoing every week, with rare exceptions. Check Full Calendar to verify dates.
Join for a group meditation – just us, without a teacher. Do your own practice silently in the company of others. There will be no talk or guidance – only a bell to start and finish. Let’s be present, together.
After half an hour of silent sitting, there will be space for a brief hello in the end, if we like.
Please be seated by the time meditation starts, so that we can begin together. You are welcome to have your camera and microphone on (unless you have a lot of background noise), so that we can feel as if we were in one space.
The zoom link remains the same for all the sessions, so you are welcome to register only once and save the link for future reference.

We learn from spirituality, as well as our spiritual conditioning, that to be fully spiritual is to be selfless—but what does that mean? Many of us learned that caring for ourselves is selfish and caring for others is good. That selflessness is the standard and everything else might be us falling short. Where do our own needs, healing, and limits, fit in? How do we care deeply for ourselves without becoming self-absorbed, and truly and freely give generously from an open heart?
In this two-hour gathering, we’ll explore the territory between selfishness and selflessness, and the possibility of becoming self-full: deeply inhabiting and caring for the human being we’ve been given without making ourselves the center of the universe...... LEARN MORE HERE

We’ll explore the territory between selfishness and selflessness, and the possibility of becoming self-full: deeply inhabiting and caring for the human being we’ve been given without making ourselves the center of the universe. We’ll look at how tending ourselves well can become the ground from which genuine generosity, love, and service naturally arise.

Untying the knots that lie at the core of our relationship struggles brings openness, ease, and space for new ways of being. We discover we can meet the tender places in ourselves with deep acceptance and care. Then we can open with compassion for all...... LEARN MORE HERE
