“When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited. ”
-Ramakrishna
When a flower blooms and releases its fragrance, bees are naturally attracted to it, without the flower having to do anything to invite them. Just as a flower's beauty and fragrance attracts bees, the beauty of a pure and devoted heart attracts clarity, wisdom, and steadiness. In the Awake: Fresh, Flourishing & Overflowing workshop, we will practice living from the consciousness of devotion and purity of heart. Participants will explore the nature of Awakeness and will learn practical techniques for living like a flower, in a constant state of freshness, flourishing, and overflowing.
This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in exploring their unblemished inner Awareness.
Workshop Begins on March 17, 2023
Week 1: Fresh
From the perspective of Awakeness, every moment is completely new and fresh, ripe with infinite possibilities for creation and growth. This week, we’ll practice approaching every moment with a sense of openness and curiosity, fully embracing the newness, sparkle, vividness, and brightness of what is eternally with us.
Week 2: Flourishing
Flourishing is a state of thriving, growth, well-being, and abundance. It is the natural outpouring of pure consciousness, that within us which is always Awake. This week, we’ll welcome a profound sense of flourishing in all areas of our lives, including our relationships, work, and personal development.
Week 3: Overflowing
From the consciousness of overflowing abundance and generosity, we give freely of ourselves and our resources without expectation of reward or recognition. All creativity, intelligence, and love flow unceasingly. This week, we connect with the energy of Awakeness within us that is limitless in its bounty, exuberance, and grace.
