Authentic Spiritual Conversations

Do you long for the kind of connection where you can explore
what feels spiritually alive for you?

Do you want to be able to talk authentically about your spiritual
experiences, challenges, questions and deepest longings in a space
that feels safe? Where everyone’s needs and differing beliefs are
respectfully honored, and you don’t feel alone?

You are invited to an introductory meeting about how to create,
and to explore the possibility of creating, an Authentic Spiritual Conversations group in Grants Pass.

This (free) introductory meeting will show you how to create a group where participants feel comfortable expressing their authentic Self in the company of others. You will learn how to create a safe space where everyone can explore what feels spiritually real and alive in fellowship with other spiritual path seekers and practitioners, of any persuasion. You will learn what it might look like to create a leader-less (or leader-full) group and will explore whether there is any interest in creating such a group.

Where: Aquarius Books & Gifts, 528 NE E St., Grants Pass
When: Saturday, May 21st
Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

“If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”
Thomas Merton

Truth, or awakening, is simply the recognition of what is already perfectly in place. It is not a doctrine and it is not a creation. It is the most profound and joyous discovery a human being will make. Mooji

May my focus on the light within be as dedicated as the attention my dog gives to his tennis ball. Unknown

“The power of the words I AM can change how you see yourself and how you see others. We have been conditioned to believe that who we are is ordinary—that who we are is what we have, what we do, what people think of us, what we own, and none of this is who we really are. Who we are is infinite light divine creation, and that creation is within all of us.” Wayne Dyer

“The lamps are different, but the light is the same.” Rumi

“Throw off all thought of imaginary things and stand firm in that which you are.” Kabir

“If the you of five years ago doesn’t consider the you of today a heretic, then you are not growing spiritually.” Thomas Merton

“Let me be Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Mohammedan, or Sufi; I care not what my religion, my race, my creed, or my color be, if only I can win my way to Thee! But let me be none of these, if it enmesh me in labyrinthine ways of religious formalities. Let me travel the royal road of realization which leads to Thee.” Paramhansa Yogananda

Yogananda

“We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder. You always have the choice.”
H.H. the Dalai Lama

“I believe that appreciation is a holy thing – that when we look for what’s best in a person… we are participating in something sacred.” Fred Rogers

“When the Buddha taught, he … taught that there is a kind of innocent misunderstanding that we all share, something that can be turned around, corrected, and seen through, as if we were in a dark room and someone showed us where the light switch was. It isn’t a sin that we are in the dark room. It’s just an innocent situation, but how fortunate that someone shows us where the light switch is.” Pema Chodron
