During our time together, we will explore what it takes to live from an open, undefended heart. Naturally, any true exploration of living from the heart necessarily entails taking a deep and sustained look at what prevents us from keeping our hearts open. Grounded in the knowledge that the essence of us, our true nature, is the very lovingness within us all, we will explore how to recognize and release egoic energies by cultivating open-hearted awareness practices which support us in directly experiencing our true Self. By leaning into willingness, steeped in self-honesty, and with a consistent dash of courage, we endeavor to open to whatever life brings, as it brings it, that is, on life’s terms. In so doing, we trust that everything – absolutely everything – is here for us to use for healing, for purification, and for learning to live from the heart. We look forward to supporting each other in our individual explorations of how we truly embrace the entirety of this show we call life.
This group endeavor will begin by contemplating Helen Hamilton’s first book, Dissolving the Ego, which Helen describes as a culmination of all the ways she found to tune into the Self, to recognize the Self, to know directly for herself what she really is. This program will be big on direct experience and lighter on “homework.” While Dissolving the Ego is a relatively short book, we will nonetheless contemplate it slowly and deliberately by reviewing just one chapter each week before class, which works out to roughly one page per day, five days a week. This program is facilitated by Anne Blanchard.
