SUMMARY:Tom Kurzka ~ Rest in Being: The Love of Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Live Worldwide Web Event\n10:00am – 12:00pm pm (Pacific Time – San Francisco\, CA\, USA) Time Zone Converter \nYou are invited to join Tom as we explore this experience called me and my world. We’ll begin with an introduction followed by a brief guided meditation\, then open dialogue. There is no question or concern that is too unworthy to be addressed. Often the most deep rooted problems are our gateway to the Love that we all are. Through this process Tom holds a sweet tender kindness that makes many who work with him feel held and safe. Within this supportive framework our full humanness is embraced and touched. As we radically accept and meet the worst of the worst\, a gentle piercing happens as the entirety of our human experience melts in Being’s all-embracing arms\, this ever present Love. We see that we are that Love\, this sweetness that unconditionally holds our humanness. \nIn 2000\, after a lifelong battle trying to hold onto his false sense of a separate self\, Tom’s fight against Reality spontaneously ended\, resulting in a shift into unitive consciousness or Being. Shortly thereafter\, Tom was asked to share and has since been holding small group meetings at his home in Oregon and also with a group in Virginia. Tom is known for his humility and a profound acceptance of what is. The guidance moving through him has flavors of Advaita Vedanta\, Sufism\, Buddhism and\, most importantly\, an ongoing revelation of living in the moment.  \ntomkurzka.org \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nPLEASE REGISTER EARLY if you can.

SUMMARY:Brian and Alexandra Theard ~ The Summer of Healed Relationships
DESCRIPTION:To have a quiet mind\, an open heart\, and not take anything personally is the basis of a healed and holy relationship. But what happens when we hit a wall\, and a painful disturbance seems to be insurmountable? The limits of our human heart can seem to be stretched beyond what we believe ourselves to be capable of feeling. And yet we are each carried beyond our personal limits as we bring our dark thoughts and negative feelings to Light\, placing everything on the altar of Truth. No difficulty can withstand the quiet light of loving awareness. \nWithin the core of every difficult situation and emotion\, is an intrinsic miracle moment. In choosing the growth opportunity within that situation\, instead of defending a point of view\, we are miraculously assisted by all the love of the universe. If we choose to accept it\, moments of disharmony offer us a priceless gift\, which carry us far beyond our perceived disturbances\, to inner peace. Our persistent willingness catapults our relationships into a brighter and lighter timeline\, removing doubts and insecurities\, replacing them with the certainty of a loving purpose more valuable than anything in the world.  \nIn our upcoming events at Open Circle\, we’ll explore the qualities of honesty and higher willingness\, in a practical and easy way.  We’ll open up to the loving dimensions of consciousness that foster true safety\, vulnerability\, and a quiet tenderness of heart. You needn’t be in crisis to reap the essential benefits offered here. Come as you are. \nBrian and Alexandra intuitively draw from direct experience\, and 27yrs of partnership in the context of awakening.  They share teachings from A Course in Miracles and Sri Ramana Maharshi in their exploration of loving relationships. What they’ve discovered\, is any relationship given to truth\, is a path of awakening to what lies beyond all concepts and definitions. And all relationships offer the chance to walk our talk with great integrity. \nwww.fieldofchange.com \nSuggested donation: $10 to $20
