Inquiry into Awakening

 

 

Inquiry into Awakening meetings are unscripted and spontaneous - they are a unique adventure of exploring what it means to be present, aware, free from the insistence of one's personal story. As a natural extension of our silent meditation practice this dialogue process is aimed at exploring the obvious and subtle myths we hold about the nature of awareness, our expectations for higher consciousness, and the means at our disposal for deep looking and the cultivation of insight.

During the inquiry any form of relaxation and meditation is welcome, We practice deep (and undefended) seeing to evoke a direct experience of the subtle energy body and natural receptivity. Please join us for some thoughtful explorations into the nature of psychological time, the genesis of the separate self, this effortless totality, and skillful means to see through our typical modes of perception.

 

Meetings are held in the Yellow Barn at Pebble Hill Interfaith Church. Our regular Tuesday evening program is geared toward silence and stillness practice (a useful foundation). The Inquiries are for the adventurous few that for some strange reason (and no one can fathom why) want to wake up.

 

These programs are generally held on most Thursday (7:30 - 9:30 pm) & some Friday or Saturday evenings (6:30 - 9:00 pm) - an Inquiry Invitation is sent each week to confirm the schedule. On Friday (or Saturday) we share a light vegan dinner of soup and other snacks, you may bring something to share if you wish.



“Friday's Friends & Food - our complimentary dinner is a hearty vegan soup + sour dough and spreads, a few snacks, and some friendly chatter about the nature of present moment awakening. You can eat and run or stay a while and journey into immersion. They may encourage a proper spiritual attitude of Be Here Now, but when it becomes clear that there is no here here or now now or anyone to be anywhere, that's when the fun begins.”
