The Dance Into Reality

We humans have been given the freedom to choose how we want to experience life, yet our egoic thoughts and programming of never having enough tend to drive us toward "getting more" of whatever we think will satisfy us. Yet in the ever-changing flow of life experiences coming our way, short term pleasure never seems to fulfill us.

To experience longer lasting joy requires the recognition that our default perspective leads us astray and into the world of a "false self," one consumed with judgments, beliefs, concepts, and ideas that separate us from the Goodness that Life continually brings, experienced when we are without the stories that the me-myself-and-l is consumed with along with the incessant desires of the ego to find pleasure.

Our true nature, as expressed in the wisdom of the nondual philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, suggests we are merely a speck of Light Consciousness unattached to a body, experiencing the Flow of Divine Love in every new and changing moment. And when we come to know ourselves as Being the Observer of this Love energy passing through our unique experience, we are filled with and joyfully want to share those core attributes of our Divine Wholeness: Happiness, Peace, and Love of our true nature.

Our aim in this workshop series is to discover and release those aspects of our false nature that prevent the flow of wisdom, love, strength, compassion, and clarity that will enable us to "dance" into a more kind, peaceful, and meaningful experience while on earth.
