Opening to the Deep Heart

Daylong Online Retreat with John Prendergast

Saturday, April 4
9AM – Noon; 2-5 PM

Retreat Description

In this retreat, we will explore the multidimensional nature of the heart, ranging from what Ramana Maharshi called the “Heart of Awareness” – non-locatable pure consciousness -to the psychological level of feeling fundamentally lacking, flawed, and separate. As we deepen in the discovery of our true nature, emptying out our limiting self-images and stories and uncovering our inherent love, kindness, and gratitude, the relationship to our conditioned body-mind transforms. Increasingly we experience the universal Heart holding the vulnerable and conditioned human heart with affectionate awareness, supporting its self-liberation.

Through talks and dialogues, silent and guided meditations, and potent dyadic meditative inquiries, we will deepen our intimacy with the multidimensional heart.
