CONTEMPLATIVE LISTENING CIRCLE
Sacred Listening: A Contemplative Circle in the Hindu Tradition
Join us in a sacred space of deep listening and contemplative presence, guided by the wisdom of Hindu tradition. Rooted in the practices of stillness (mauna), mindful speech (vak tapas), and heart-centered listening (sravana), this circle offers an opportunity to engage in spiritual companionship, reflection, and shared silence. Together, we will explore the transformative power of listening—both to one another and to the divine presence within and around us. Whether you seek solace, insight, or a deepened connection to your spiritual path, you are welcome in this circle of reverence and open-hearted presence. We invite you to sit with us for an online gathering on Wednesday, April 9th, at 1PM – 2:30 PM Pacific Time.
Come rest in the embrace of community, share from your heart’s wisdom, and draw strength from our collective presence to hold space for whatever arises. This is a place to be nourished, to dream together, and to be in solidarity as we navigate all that is unfolding in our lives and the world.
May this gathering be a source of renewal and inspiration for your spiritual journey.
