Love is All That Matters
October 21, 2023 @ 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM MST
“You have lived in a certain way up to now , don’t you want to live in a different way? You have thought in a certain way up to now, don’t you want some new glimpses in your being? Then be alert and don’t listen to the mind.”
~ Osho, Ancient Music in the Pines #7
The power to change life from misery and struggle to love is within us – we carry it in the heart. The heart is not just feeling good or loving or peaceful – those things are there but there is more. It can embrace whatever moment you are living with compassion – and when we can accept ourselves as we are that changes everything.
The heart has many dimensions which can grow if we strengthen it.It is easier to do this when we come together, in an atmosphere of acceptance and presence.
In this event we dance to create that atmosphere, and invite the aliveness and energy that is needed to enter the heart. We will work somatically, through fun, dance, feeling, expression and the simple art of being present to what is. We will learn keys to remember awareness, and techniques to transform each situation into a chance to learn and grow – thus find more joy, and leave the world a little more beautiful than when we found it.
In life, so many forces pull us outward, and up into our heads – as we have been trained in society and in childhood. Even as meditators we can forget awareness, presence and lovingness so often, especially with more and more tension and trauma around us in today’s world. We can get easily overwhelmed, collapsed or reactive, or get entangled in situations where we hurt or become uncaring, with ourselves and others. And all along, most of us simply intend to bring the best of who we are to daily life, our work, our creativity, and others.
Osho has given many keys for remembering, for meditation in the marketplace, for transforming life situations instead of reacting from the mind, the past. He invites us to bring our meditation to live life consciously, to learn and grow, rather than create unhappiness for ourselves, and those around us.
