Listening To The Divine Within Part 2

This is Part 2 of the Listening To The Divine Within course based on O My Beloved. Everyone is welcome, no need to have take Part 1.
We’ll meet for 8 sessions starting November 13th and ending January 15th, skipping 12/25/22 and 1/1/23.
In this 8 week, 12 hour contemplative course we’ll dive into the gifts of the Divine heard by Kalidas and offered in this collection O My Beloved. This kind of sacred poetry invites us to enter the joyous, grace-filled world of our inner mystic, our inner knower of the Truth, where revelation and transformation naturally arise and the state of meditation is always fully present. That state is the state of your highest nature. Knowing that fully and living it into the world is the ultimate aim of all meditative and yogic practices.
This is Part 2 of this course. Part 1 is finishes on 10/30/22. As we saw in the contemplation course on Kali’s Bazaar, which turned out to be Part 1 of that course, it takes time to settle into the contemplation and listen to what the poetry invokes in ourselves and each other. (Part 2 of Kali’s Bazaar will be offered later in the fall.) The deep sharing and communion that unfolded within the sessions of these courses led to tears of joy, profound new vistas and clearer ways of perceiving the living presence of the Divine, here, now, always. These then inform and inspire our meditation practices and our everyday lives.
You are invited to participate in this new course. You’ll need to purchase either the print or ebook of O My Beloved. The sessions will be audio recorded and made available to everyone for 3 months after each session. Participants sign up for the whole course. The fee is $295 per person. If a person can’t afford that, then they can contact me at info@thesoulsjourney.com and we’ll make sure that all who want to participate can. Some people offer more for courses than required and that allows us to offer reductions for those who can’t be as generous as they would like to be. We’re very grateful to those who are so generous and for the joy they share in anonymously giving support to others. We’ve had people donate money even when they themselves can’t participate in the programs, just to support others. By their grace and large heartedness Anam Cara Meditation offers all it can.
