Course dates: January 14 – February 4, 2025
There is no better support and protection in the face of challenges than connecting with one’s inner refuge.
Each month, during CyberSangha’s 24-Hour Full Moon Practice, we have the opportunity to gather together online. In a supportive group environment, we are encouraged to acknowledge the challenging issues of our life and times and to connect with inner refuge. A guided meditation helps us to discover the source of inner nourishment and protection as we rest deeply in the peaceful, open space of who we truly are.
This interactive course, designed to accompany the Full Moon Practice, is open to all. Through guided meditations and dialogue, we will explore what it means to come into and rest in inner refuge through the doorways of stillness of body, silence of speech, and spaciousness of mind. In a safe environment, and with the support of the group, we will reflect on the challenges we may be experiencing and our habitual ways of reacting. Together, we can discover what becomes possible when we are able to host our challenges in inner refuge, with openness, awareness, and warmth. We may find that when we can allow and be with our experience in this way, the obstacles and obscurations of our habitual patterns naturally dissolve into the openness of our true nature, and our positive qualities spontaneously arise from this source within to benefit ourselves and others.
Course size is limited to support a sense of connection, warmth, honesty, and safety. There is no fee to attend. Each group member is asked to make a strong commitment to show up fully and to engage in daily meditation practice, both formally and informally .
