Spirituality in America: Part 7

Cost $60, $75 with 4 CEUs

“You can’t get ‘better and better, worse and worse, faster and faster’ without somethinggoing ‘pop’ sooner or later in a way that would be catastrophic….”        T. Ally

We’re moving into a chaos point where politics becomes the central spiritual imperative and a deep integral spirituality becomes the central political imperative.”     Jim Garrison

The inseparability of spirituality and politics has been brought front-stage by peace advocates such as the Dali Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, Aung San Suu Kyi, the Quakers and many others.  Spiritual practitioners can no longer fantasize about enlightenment while avoiding the cries of the world for help. 

In this workshop we will learn of the evolution of spiritual-political consciousness from Aristotle to You.  In addition, we’ll explore what it means to be a spiritual-political practitioner today.  This includes playfully examining our own beliefs about government, politics, individual rights and spirituality.

Participants will learn and explore the following:

• The Five Steps of Waking Up Politically for spiritual practitioners.

• Who are these “Cultural Creatives” and how are they going to change the world?

• The loving embrace of violence, war, self-sacrifice and Godhead/Buddha.

• Whatever happened to the two-party political party system in America?

• Learn who will be our next President (according to consciousness research).

• The problems and promises of democracy vs. enlightened leadership.

•  Learn compassion practices to support opening our heart to our political enemies.

This workshop will utilize film/video clips, music, art, political propaganda, meditation and group discussion as ways of Waking Up! to our potentials for Right Action.

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. So I try to do good for everyone. This is my religion. - Abraham Lincoln

Kindness is my religion. - Dali Lama

With Muslim suicide bombers in the Middle East, Christian martyrs blowing up abortion clinics in the US and Buddhist gassing the subways in Japan, spiritual codes of morality seem to be bankrupt. What in the devil is going on with spirituality?!? This workshop focuses on, “What does it mean to live a moral life?” We’ll explore that question as seen through the eyes of the contemplative spiritual traditions. This will entail a look at the fearless morality of someone those traditions calls a Bodhisattva, Spiritual Warrior, or Spiritual Actualizer of The All Good. Participants will:

• Learn the levels of moral development common to all spiritual traditions.
• Explore how you can actualize the Unconditional Qualities of The All Good.
• Use ethic-building meditations and prayer to dissolve negativity.
• Work with Shadow-unearthing techniques to liberate oneself from darkness.
• Look at issues of ethical behavior in the Teacher-Student relationship.
• Receive practical tools for growth and development.
• Gain insight into your spiritual journey.

This workshop will utilize meditations, group exercises, art, music and film clips as supports to help us open our hearts to ever-increasing levels of understanding, empathy and wholeness. There will be a light lunch served, but participants may choose to go out to eat.
