American spiritual teacher Ram Dass once observed that the person who starts in engaging in spiritual practice in the course of time is going to "change into somebody else. And so the practice that was appropriate for the person initially may not be appropriate for you down the road."
Of course, there are many people who practice a single form of spiritual exercise for decades or even a lifetime. But increasingly, in this age of information explosion, many take a more eclectic approach, trying a particular method for a time, then switching to another that feels more appropriate.
If you are new to spiritual practice or you simply want to explore a different method, we invite you to join us for this special Spiritual Path Exploration. During the course of this three-hour event, you'll be introduced to three distinctly different methods from a variety of traditions.
- Tonglen - the Buddhist practice of awakening compassion
- Tantric Meditation - awakening the experience that everything is sacred
- The Examen -- the Ignatian practice that invites us to find the movement of the Spirit in all the people and events of our day
The Spiritual Path Exploration will consist of three cycles, each beginning with a brief overview of the practice, an actual (guided) experience and a short debrief. It is sponsored by The Sacred Inclusion Network in collaboration with Group Relations International and is facilitated by three founders of the Sacred Inclusion Network.
