Our 9th installment of our Spiritual Practice Series will be held on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, and will feature a talk by Tom Coates. The talk will be entitled, “Letting go of Limiting Beliefs.”
This program is part of our new partnership with Sanctuary of Earth, Inc. These are on ZOOM only, which will offer live presentations focused primarily on spiritual practices (and referred to as “Spiritual Practice Series”).
This series is held on the first Wednesday of each month (except for July) from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., Eastern Time, and from 4:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m., Pacific Time.
To join us, please click on https://zoom.us/join The Meeting I.D for ZOOM is 814 7835 9729, and the Passcode is Earthlove.
Please note this is a different Zoom link, Meeting ID, and Passcode than what we use for our third-Saturday-of-the-month meetings.
So there will be no confusion, please note that this new ZOOM-only speaker series is in addition to our traditional third-Saturday-of-the-month meetings, which are both in-person and online via ZOOM and include a potluck lunch.
Spiritual Practice Series August 2023, Description:
There is only one consciousness in Creation, and each of us is a unique aspect and divine spark of this all-encompassing whole.
The more fully we can know, integrate and embody this one truth or truth of oneness, the more fully we can recognize, engage with, and activate the Source of Creation, which lies hidden in plain sight within us.
The greatest impediments which deny us access to this divine self-realization are limiting beliefs – beliefs imposed on us from the moment of our conception from every quarter on Earth – parents, family, friends, society, education, culture, religion, governments, laws, and indeed ourselves.
These beliefs are designed to control, manipulate, separate, demean, diminish and limit us by causing us to believe, among other things, that we are far less than what we truly are.
This talk will focus on practices aimed at recognizing what some of those limiting beliefs are and the insidious holds they have upon us, on developing strategies for letting them go and expelling them, and on awakening to our inner divinity.
