Unique Self ProcessTaught in public for the first time!In this three day process you will be guided in teaching and embodiment, to find, identify and live your Unique Gift in the world. The Gift that is yours and yours only, at this Unique Moment in time and space. The Gift for which evolution has taken the time until this very moment, to be expressed as you, through you and by you.Though there is great truth in impersonalness, our human life is also utterly personal. Not personal in a limited sense as an identification with your small and contracted self. But merely as an espression of Divinity living as you, which can only be lived through you. It is of the most importance to understand and integrate both these perspectives, to be able to give your personalness all the right attention and care it needs to grow to it highest potential. So you can be that, what, in your deepest sense yearn for. The democratization of enlightenment begins with you!

In our time, so many of the old words of the sacred have lost their capacity to move us, dethroned by the rigorous critiques of modernity and post modernity. But the authentic expression of love always holds a radical power to touch and even transform our lives. We sometimes wait our whole lives to hear “I love you” spoken with total authenticity. We may wait even longer to be able to say it. But to hear or speak these words sincerely is a complete affirmation of all that is sacred. For many of us today, the words ‘love’ and ‘meaning’ are virtually indistinguishable. Yet, what do we mean by “love”? Is love simply the tender feeling you have for a friend or a relative, a lover or a spouse? Or is there something more profound about love’s meaning, something that accounts for its power to transform a life, in every way? Love is more than just a feeling. Enlightened teachers through the ages have told us that love is the dynamic ground of all reality. If that’s true, then love can be seen as the actual force that drives evolution— the force the Greeks called Eros—as well as the enlivening joy that opens the heart. So what is love, when we see it from both a personal and an evolutionary perspective? How do we find it, nurture it, and sustain it? Modern science and philosophy point out that all levels of reality are evolving. The world of today is wildly different then the world of yesterday. Matter, body, mind and even spirit are in flux. When we understand the profound evolutionary context of life, we realize that love must be evolving as well. Wow: The Evolution of Love—What a wild, important and profound idea! Simply put: the meaning, purpose, and vision of love is changing. In our time, the great truths about love—taught in different languages by teachers of every tradition are being re-shaped by modern and post-modern considerations. In this unique conversation, we engage these truths through an integral lens. More information coming soon
