Open Circles

Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,
Spending some sweet time with very young children is a good way to remind ourselves what it’s like to be completely present to our experience. The joys that are full on, the tantrums that are absolute, the wonder, curiosity, the constant discovery of new phenomena, new abilities, new sensations, new, new, new… HIGH RECOMMEND!! I give it two thumbs up. The best teachings and the best examples to follow (or at least admire).

Beloved Community, Friends and Family, 

The blessings and benefits that come from a spiritual community are among the greatest treasures in life. 
It has been woven through human history, the natural pull to share the spiritual life with companions, to come together for prayer and friendship. 
Life continues to flow and evolve, each moment bringing its own longing and its own response. 

For this beautiful group of friends and fellow seekers, a longing has been heard, and a response has been given. We are excited and pleased to introduce you to:
