Six Mondays, 7 – 8:30 pm PT
Ever feel ungrounded given how rapidly our world is changing? What is beloved community in times like these? How do we live into true belonging? And what supports the remembrance of the heart of who we are—personally and collectively?
Join Caverly Morgan for an experiential series rooted in contemplative technologies designed for these times—tools and practices with practical, spiritual, and global applications. Together we will explore five essential contemplative life skills: Relating, Dismantling, Inquiring, Returning and Realizing. As we journey along this path of realizing freedom together, you will learn holistic practices that ignite and nurture transformation--both personal and collective. These practices enliven compassion, the experience of belonging, and not only support the recognition of our true nature but nourish our capacity to align our lives with this knowing.
Emphasizing what Caverly describes as “relational dharma”, weekly sessions will feature a blend of guided meditation, dharma discussion, dyad and small group work, and reflection. Between sessions there will be (optional) recommended reading from Caverly’s most recent book, The Heart of Who We Are: Realizing Freedom Together.
A dialogue between Caverly and SFZC Abbot David Zimmerman, What is True Freedom? will be offered on Saturday, February 3 at 2 pm PT.
“The Heart of Who We Are is a luminous and multifaceted gem of a book, beautifully written and grounded in wisdom from Caverly Morgan’s own lived experience as a dharma practitioner and teacher. This treasure store offers us one of the clearest, heartfelt, and most compelling conversations that I’ve come across on why it is essential for each of us to wholeheartedly endeavor toward mutual and collective liberation. With a voice that is equal measures warm and accessible, poetic and profound, Caverly skillfully guides us in applying Zen teachings and nondual practices to a number of karmically conditioned complexes that hinder our recognition of our fundamental awake nature and the intimacy of our shared being. The Heart of Who We Are serves as a wise, encouraging friend and a tremendous resource for anyone yearning to realize—and actualize—true freedom and happiness in the personal, interpersonal, and collective dimensions of their lives. I hope that many will have the opportunity to encounter this truly transformative gift!”
