being me: two community building circles a day create a safe environment where we can begin to express ourselves honestly. Small groups also meet daily to provide an intimate level of listening and support in our emptying process.
opening up: open space sessions allow us to share interests, insights and passions. As each day’s adventure unfolds, we are able to present more of our own unique reality.
seeing you: as we display our truth and others reveal themselves also, we start to appreciate that different and contradictory realities can stand side by side. We are somehow more alive when they do.
emptiness: the inner peace of emptiness may grow around us, perhaps worryingly unfamiliar at first but, with time, tranquil, meditative, without borders, welcome.
community: and from this point of emptiness; respect, acceptance, and love may grow into a thrillingly real sense of being ourselves within community.
