It Takes a Village: Community & the Embodiment of Awakening

  • San Francisco, CA (map)

Event is in Pacific Time.

Awakening may reveal the truth of our essential oneness, but it is in relationship that this realization is tested, deepened, and brought to life. Other people have a wonderful way of showing us exactly where love has taken root and where we are still defending, hiding, accommodating, controlling, or insisting that life go our way.

In this two-hour gathering, we’ll explore the essential role of community in the embodiment of awakening. What becomes possible when we practice among others who are also committed to truth? How do belonging, friction, support, difference, and vulnerability help us grow beyond a private spirituality into something lived and relational?

And as the sense of a separate self loosens, another invitation emerges: to take our place as stewards of the whole. Awakening asks us not only to receive from the field, but to tend it, each in our own particular way, bringing our gifts, our care, our courage, and our unique expression into service of the life we share.

Community asks us to discover how to be fully ourselves while remaining part of the whole, to love without requiring sameness, and to let our awakening become more than an inner realization.
