Practice in Community

Our offerings guide us back to our direct, felt experience and honor the body, heart, and clear mind’s wisdom. In a community of fellow explorers, we ask potent questions, create moments of pause, and listen to our full intelligence within the stillness. 

A PRESENCE-BASED APPROACH TO THE ENNEAGRAM

With radical compassion, courage, trust, and honesty, we uncover our true nature and stop the search. We recognize there is nothing to fix: we experience ourselves and see others as they truly are. We embrace our whole selves, including the parts we may internally “fight with.”  

TOGETHER, WE EXPLORE...

  • Essential Holding: embodying our internally sourced experiences of belonging, love, security, and guidance. We touch this foundational capacity when we are in direct contact with ourselves.

  • Essential Trust: recognizing the dynamism and change inherent in life and acknowledging a greater intelligence at work. Through this orientation, we naturally release illusions of control and meet the unknown with wonder.

  • Essential Connectedness: staying in deep intimacy with ourselves as we open to our sacred relationship with all that is seen and unseen. Sensing into our interconnectedness, we explore the mysteries of the heart and levels of consciousness.

  • Engaged Presence: responding and participating in life from a place of wholeness, interconnectedness, and attunement to what is needed. We take inspired action, resting in the knowing of what is ours to do. 

When we expand our capacity for engaged presence, we create ripples that radiate beyond ourselves. Our way of “being”  reverberates through our clients and relationships, bending the arc in a universal movement toward wholeness and interconnectedness.

From the Deep Living Community

[The learning I'm taking away from this retreat is that] I am always held by my own being as well as by the Source of my being. I can trust myself and Source. My heart longs to be known and when I allow myself to be fully honest and myself, I feel strengthened and in align with reality. As I integrate Essential Holding, Essential Trust, and Essential Connectedness I am able to abandon outcomes, let go and enter into the flow of life...I am forever changed.

2023 Retreat

"What I am noticing is that my reactivity around my inner critic has softened. I am becoming of my inner critic more quickly and with this awareness comes choice. I feel more relaxed and less wound up and tense."

Inner Critic Course

I have felt such love and support in the Circle that has given me so much courage to trust and persevere. The invitation to pause and recalibrate in meditation, and throughout my day, continues to be such a powerful practice for me and the Circle has been fundamental in teaching me this practice and inspires me to keep practicing. I am so grateful!
