Listening To The Divine Within: Readings & Contemplations From "Gently Falls Her Rain Of Light"
2023-07-23 16:00 - 17:30, 2023-07-30 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Lawrence Edwards, PhD – Zoom
Meets every Sunday for 8 weeks starting June 4- July 30, 2023. Each session is 1.5hrs. We’ll skip July 2nd for the holiday weekend.
In this 8 week, 12 hour contemplative course we’ll dive into the gifts of the Divine heard by Kalidas and offered in this unpublished new collection. 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.
The deep sharing and communion that unfolded within the sessions of these courses has led to tears of joy, profound new vistas and clearer ways of perceiving the living presence of the Divine, here, now, always. People shared what the poetry stirred in them, questions, insights, even their own poetry. This unique type of satsang then informs our meditation practices and our everyday lives.
The book isn’t published yet so private copies of the poems discussed will be available to participants. 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.

I look forward to seeing you in the course!

In this 5 session course, 2hrs each, we will explore the initial phases of our soul’s journey and Kundalini awakening. Practices will be given for calming the mind/body, deepening discrimination and opening awareness to the living Presence of the Divine – the Self in every moment. There will be ample time for discussions based on two of Lawrence’s books, The Soul’s Journey and Awakening Kundalini. Please begin reading them before the course starts.
