Finding the Sacred at the Heart of the Ordinary

Reclaim the Teachings of Love

The walls separating the world’s faith traditions are collapsing, but the seeds of wisdom planted in our collective soul are flowering. How do we reject the poison of organized religion and its corresponding injustices and not squander the vital treasures the mystics of all spiritual paths have safeguarded? By reclaiming the teachings of love across the spiritual landscape, drawing from the intermingled wellspring of longing for the divine and compassion for all creation, we step through the gate of our everyday lives and enter sacred ground.

In this experiential workshop, we explore the mystical teachings at the heart of the world’s great wisdom traditions, reclaiming awe and cultivating wonder, not despite but rather through the portal of the ordinary. By intentionally seeking the presence of the sacred in our closest relationships, work in the world, food and pleasure, and loss and grief, we release false notions that mystical experience is reserved for the spiritually elite and that intimacy with the divine can only be experienced in a religious context.
