Jeannie Zandi ~ Living Practice: A Spiritual Life That Is Actually Yours
Spiritual practice is not meant to be something we force ourselves into, or another way of feeling that we are failing to measure up. Real practice is alive. It is intimate. It's driven by devotion and works best when we find the forms, rhythms, and ways of returning that genuinely open us to truth, presence, and love.
For some, practice may look like meditation or prayer. For others, it may arise through movement, service, beauty, study, chanting, time in nature, self-inquiry, relating, or the daily effort to meet ordinary life with presence. There are countless doors into the sacred, and part of spiritual maturity is learning to recognize what truly nourishes and deepens your own unique connection to the sacred...... LEARN MORE HERE

The heart holds a doorway that can help us to embody truth, know the deeper intimacy of non-separation, and open into a clarity that is felt as much as it is seen.
What the traditions call divine love is not merely a feeling that arises in awakening. It is the welcoming aliveness of our very nature.
In this gathering, Sarah Taylor explores the heart as fulcrum: the place where insight can be found, deepened, and lived. Where loving awareness, brought openly to what is here, completes something that clear seeing alone leaves unfinished..... LEARN MORE HERE

Pamela Wilson ~ The Magic in the Heart Liberates Our Inherent Worth ~ 4 Part Online Retreat
We have been trained to suppress our wisdom, strength and love. Trained into smallness, told we are less than, and cannot make a difference. And yet, we long to give our gifts, to return to the fullness of presence and the constancy of peace, to live that! There is only one idea in the way, the idea that self-respect is not okay, and that self-pride is ugly. When naturalness or presence honors itself, there is a healthy pride....
Being is neither superior nor inferior, but equal, and enjoys a natural confidence in life and its own uniqueness and worth. How relaxing to return to this original embodied peace and strength!..... LEARN MORE HERE

Within all our longings lies the greatest longing of all: to know ourselves as whole and divine.
Beneath the hunger for relationship, recognition, comfort, certainty, or belonging, lies the gravitational pull of the heart toward home. It can feel like a homesickness for something we cannot name or define.
Many spiritual traditions have understood longing not as a problem, but as part of the path itself. The ache of the heart can become a kind of homing device, orienting us toward what is most essential and alive. Yet in everyday life, we can lose touch with this living pull, or attempt to satisfy it through things that can never fully meet it....... LEARN MORE HERE

Self-discovery is the direct realization that who you are is already free and perfect; it cannot be held in the mind or in experience because you are not an object. You are the living truth in form. Your life is showing you directly.
Again and again, the mind gives rise to a new identity — a better me, a worse me, a self striving for survival, approval, or control. through these movements of everyday life, we are invited to see what comes and goes, and what has never moved at all...... LEARN MORE HERE
