Hi, everyone. Here's our schedule of events for June, and "Save The Dates" for retreats with two of our most profound teachers. Please note we won't have our Twin Hearts Meditation and Pranic Healing gathering this month.
Unless otherwise noted, our events don't require prior registration and are free (but donations are always welcomed). For additional information, please see our website, livinginsights.com, or email us at [email protected].
CENTER "TOURS"
By appointment
The "tours" introduce you to the Center and a number of religious/spiritual traditions and experiences in very engaging ways. They last at least two hours, and often are longer due to high interest - although we believe the Center in part is the closest thing to a museum of the world's religions in the western hemisphere, these aren't superficial museum tours. The tours need to be arranged in advance by emailing us at [email protected].
TALKING CIRCLE
Every Sunday, 12:15-2:30 pm
Our Talking Circle is a sacred gathering. Following some indigenous traditions, we pass a talking stick around the Circle twice, and only the person holding the stick may speak, unless he/she invites comments. Each participant may talk about whatever they wish, but the intention is that the Circle will be a sharing of information which informs and uplifts everyone (no politics). If one wishes to respond to something someone has said, they must wait their turn and be respectful and compassionate. We maintain the confidentiality of the Circle. It's a diverse group of wonderful people who really care about each other, and we always welcome newcomers.
HEALING TOUCH SESSIONS
Monday, June 8 (the second Monday of the month), 6:00-8:00 pm
Learn about and experience a significant energy healing modality. Sessions are provided by Eileen Wolfington and Nancy Lane of Healing Touch St. Louis.
TWIN HEARTS MEDITATION AND PRANIC HEALING SESSIONS
CANCELED THIS MONTH (usually the second Wednesday of the month), 6:30-8:30 pm
Participate in a powerful guided meditation, and then learn about and experience another significant healing modality. Sessions are provided by Dale Bilyeu and sometimes other advanced practitioners.
SUFI ZIKR -
Walking a Path of Light and Love: Wisdom and Practices of Universal Sufism
Saturday, June 13 (the second Saturday of the month), 10:00-11:30 am
Zikr is a sacred spiritual practice of the Sufis. Universal Sufism is not a religion; it is a spiritual path. In Zikr, we we touch and remember our soul, our spirit, our unity with everything, our Oneness in God. This is done through teachings and chanting. Our leader is Christopher “Moinuddin” Clarke. He's studied and taught meditation and mysticism for more than 40 years, including formal study and initiations in Universal Sufism, Soto Zen, Andean Shamanism, and Ashtanga Yoga. He is a highly illumined practitioner and teacher. For more information about him see the description of his upcoming Retreat below.
"CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS" SESSION
Saturday, June 20 (the third Saturday of the month), 2:00-4:00 pm
$20, Registration required
Jack plays an unusually large array of crystal singing bowls (some larger than played elsewhere), tones with them in unique, impactful ways, and includes ambient keyboard, Tibetan singing bowls, a Tibetan/Nepalese gong, and a Japanese bowl. He's recently added a set of eight Tibetan bowls aligned with the chakras, and he's also introduced a gentle way to play the gong. His toning is a particularly significant part of the session. He's been providing such sessions for 25 years. Participants typically have deep meditative, visionary, and spiritual experiences. Some remember past lives. Some say it's like getting a massage of every part of their being - body, mind, and spirit. Some have come 30 times or more and say it's different every time.
SAVE THE DATES
Swami Sankarananda One-Day Retreat
Sunday, July 26
Swami will be returning to the Center to present a one-day retreat on Sunday, July 26. We're always deeply blessed and uplifted when he visits us, which he's done a number of times over many years. This is a very special opportunity to be in the presence of and learn from an authentic Hindu swami (ascetic and teacher). American born, his path has taken him through India and much of the United States. He literally walked all the way across the U.S. as a modern-day peace pilgrim, and he's also has taken his teachings around the country in an RV. He now resides in his Divine Grace Yoga shala (home) in Charleston, West Virginia. He still devotes much of his time to visiting people all around the country. Swami is profound, genuine, radiates true happiness, and is a wonderful teacher, a great inspiration, and a joy to be with. To learn more about him, visit www.divinegraceyoga.org. Additional details will be announced later.
Universal Sufism Weekend Retreat
Friday-Sunday, September 25-27
Our Sufi master teacher Moinuddin will present a weekend retreat Friday evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. Moinuddin has formally studied and been initiated in Universal Sufism, Soto Zen, Andean Shamanism, and Ashtanga Yoga. For over 40 years he's taught classes and retreats dedicated to awakening the body, heart, mind and soul toward a deeper understanding of life, one's true self, and the One Reality. He's a certified Retreat and Spiritual Guide. He's the spiritual head and lineage holder of the Sufi Path of Awakening, which is rooted in the Universal Sufism of Hazrat Inayat Khan, who brought Sufism to the West. Universal Sufism hold the esoteric essence of all religions and honors all wisdom traditions. Additional details will be announced later.
