Inner Stillness and Resilience
Transform Your Life
In our world of escalating crisis, many of us are asking deeply-felt questions that go to the heart of what it means to be human -- questions that are personal, existential, perennial, ethical and spiritual.
When we sincerely question our centuries-old human predicament -- instead of turning away or throwing our hands up in disgust or defeat -- we give a powerful voice to our shared aspirations for a more compassionate and enlightened world.
To engage together with the possibility of living a transformed life, on Sunday, March 31 at 11 AM, Pacific time, I'm launching a new series of monthly online sessions called, Inner Stillness and Resilience.
Each month beginning in March, we'll explore what I call "gateways" to inner quietude and equilibrium in everyday living and times of crisis. With relaxed attention, these inner gateways are easily accessible and can bring us into quietude and peace despite the pressures of daily life. Our full human potential is not a dream for a distant future. It's within us right now.
The aim of these monthly meditative gatherings is to provide a supportive space for a deeper understanding of ourselves, our relationship with each other and the whole of life. I'll be drawing on the great insights of J. Krishnamurti, GI Gurdjieff, Yeshe Tsogyal, Meister Eckhart, Ramana Maharshi and my own life-long inquiry.
More information will be posted after the holidays. For now, I just wanted to let you what's on the horizon for early 2024. Looking forward to seeing you!
Begins March 31, 2024. Registration details coming soon! Sign up for Cynthia's newsletter.
