Come share your heart, rest in Being, and connect with others in a safe nurturing setting. Most forms of Spiritual realization have been experienced in the subjective "inner" dimension of our lives. The process we share here reveals the way that embracing our human "everyday" selves and connecting with others not only feels good, but deepens our spiritual awakening too. We expand into a larger energetic field that connects us at the heart in ordinary human relationships, where life is lived. Tod …

Peace is something that everyone wants. Though we search for it in things around us, it's within us all the time, and readily available to experience all the time, too. Peace doesn't create or come from an absence of war. Rather, wars happen as a result of the war that people fight within themselves. But peace is what can end wars, by each person first ending their own inner wars. Portland Friends of Peace isn't about ideas, philosophy, religion or spirituality — nor are we against any of these. …

Fairytales paint a vivid picture of the path towards spiritual adulthood. (individuation) Studying them can help us open to the wisdom of our unconscious psyche.

The first two groups will introduce fairytales from a Jungian perspective. The group meets monthly beginning on January 5th at 1pm. Cost: $15 per group.

When one says,"I am the body", it is a feeling based on the intellect and is defined as ignorance. When he says,"I am not the body, I am an awakened sou …
