Moving our identity out of the inner dialog into presence requires collected energy as well as awareness. Awareness is sterile without energy. When our energy and awareness resonate together, it makes for presence. When presence is strongly resonating as our center, it’s much easier to abide in. The Mind can rest in that, because it is Peace and Love itself.

Transformational Festivals

As we transform within, we are also inspired and empowered by joining with others who feel a similar communion with the essence of Love and Life.

We grow and support each other’s awakening when we come together with open hearts.

In the struggle to keep our self-image positive, we even distort our spiritual values and beliefs in service of our egos. We play spiritual word games.
