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.
