Stirring the Pot: Conversation and Co-Sensing

How many of your most meaningful conversations have happened around the dinner table? I’ll provide a simple meal of soup, bread, and salad, and we'll explore pertinent themes emerging in the collective field. How can we use not only the mind but also the body and the heart to sense into the complexities of our time? Beginning with a brief meditation and check-in, we'll delve into monthly themes through relaxed collective inquiry. This gathering creates space to sense into our current reality and explore how to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives and respond thoughtfully to global challenges.

Format:

• 6:00-6:45 Opening meditation & check-in
• 6:45-8:00 Dinner and Facilitated dialogue
• 8:15-8:30 Integration & closing

March theme: The Soul and the Mythic Lens

In a world that often feels mechanistic and disconnected, we turn our attention to Eros - that vital force that animates life, creates beauty, and ignites passion. Through sharing our experiences, we'll explore the many faces of Eros - from universal love to embodied passion, from creative force to sacred longing - examining how this primordial energy moves through our lives, what blocks or dampens our access to it, and what it might mean to live in deeper relationship with it in a culture that tends to suppress this essential force.

Future Themes: Animism and Relating to the Beyond Human Realm, Medicine Work, Beauty and Creativity, Neurodivergence and High Sensitivity, Trauma and Collective Trauma, Identity and No-Self, Community, Integrating Personal Path and Path of Service, Relating to the Oncoming Technological Age
