About this Event
Join us for an intimate evening of nourishing food and meaningful dialogue. Over a simple meal of homemade soup, fresh bread, and salad, we'll explore emerging themes that we face as humans in today's world. Our inquiry engages mind, body, and heart, drawing on our intellectual, perceptual, and emotional intelligence to sense into the complexities of our time. Beginning with a brief meditation and check-in, we'll delve into monthly themes through structured 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. Limited to 12 participants.
Format:
- 6:00-6:45 Opening meditation & check-in
- 6:45-8:00 Dinner and Facilitated dialogue
- 8:15-8:30 Integration & closing
First theme: Eros - The Force of Life and Love
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. Beyond its common association with romantic love, Eros manifests as the creative impulse, the drive toward connection, and the dynamic energy that makes life worth living. 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: The Soul and the Soul Path, 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
