Artful Living in Changing Times
A Six-Part Series

Living Source Sanctuary & Retreat in Hamden. CT
Fridays 7-9pm and Saturday 9-4pm

Oct 18 & 19, 2024 ~ Dec 6 & 7, 2024 ~ Jan 3 & 4 2025
Feb 7 & 8, 2025 ~ Mar 14 & 15, 2025 ~ Apr 11 & 12, 2025

We are in the midst of a cycle of great change.

In this six-part series we will work with WHAT IS: what’s present inside us and configuring around us, personally and collectively. We’ll explore essential principles, practices and the tools of Perceptual Flexibility that are essential for the graceful release of outworn identities and human-centric systems that have separated us from each other and all of Nature.

We will use the ground of NOW to co-creatively prepare the fertile soil of a future we can’t yet imagine!

Suggested offering is $1250 for the series

Oct 18 & 19, 2024 BE YOURSELF Most of us have strayed from living as we truly are through the influence of harsh judgments, countless distortions of understanding and lifeless habits. Learn to listen for the ORIGINAL you.
Dec 6 & 7, 2024 USE WHAT YOU HAVE We are the Source’s re-source. So is every “good” and “bad” condition and circumstance within us and around us. In the desert, antidotes are never far from the plants that poison. Poisons themselves can cure. The same is true in every landscape of life. Learn to listen for the wise use of ALL the resources that are present.
Jan 3 & 4 2025 EXPLORE WHAT YOU DON’T HAVE Every possibility rises from potential. We may not all board a rocket ship and travel to the stars, but we can journey through the universe of vast imagination and go where no one else dares to go. Learn to listen into emptiness for what may be quietly present. Learn to listen to what’s impossible as being possible in some form.
Feb 7 & 8, 2025 SHARE WHAT YOU DISCOVER We’re each a single piece to a much larger puzzle. When we withhold our particular piece, consciously or unconsciously, we actually interfere with the collective peace. Sharing includes receiving. Becoming a powerful receiver of Source and expressing it enhances our reciprocity and enriches everyone and everything, including ourselves. Learn to listen for shared connection without losing yourself. Learn to listen as if ALL life depends on it, not just yours.
Mar 14 & 15, 2025 FORGET WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED Remaining present, yet unattached, to what we think we know and not becoming overly enchanted with our ideas and discoveries: these practices are essential to living a life that isn’t dangerous, dull or dreadfully boring. Listen for what’s fresh.
Apr 11 & 12, 2025 REMEMBER THE TRUTH If we put these pointers into practice, we have a real shot at living an epic life, as well as making it through the day. Be and see everything in and around you as expressions of the One Living Source in all of its resplendence!
