Unveiling Our True Nature: June 26 Evening Gathering
Friday, June 26, 7:00–9:00PM
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Victoria Friends Meeting House
1831 Fern St, Victoria, BC
Unveiling our true nature means recognizing awareness itself as what remains while thoughts, feelings, and sensations change. This awareness is always present, but usually overlooked. Attention stays focused on experience rather than awareness itself. Unveiling does not create something new. It reveals what is already here. Veils obscure this recognition on mental, emotional, and somatic levels.
Unveiling Our True Nature: June 27 Daylong Retreat
Saturday, June 27, 10:30AM-5:00PM
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Victoria Friends Meeting House
1831 Fern St, Victoria, BC
Join us for a daylong with John. In this meeting we will unveil our true nature through recognizing and effectively welcome resistances to opening to our deepest ground. There will be silent and guided meditations, a talk, a group or dyadic inquiry, and experiential conversations.
This daylong retreat is divided into two parts, but participants are encouraged to attend both parts for a more complete understanding and experience.
