What we’re about
Deep Spring Center’s (http://www.deepspring.org) primary focus is to speak to the question of how we may live with more wisdom and compassion, with lovingkindness and non-harm to all beings. Our work falls into two categories, meditation and spiritual inquiry. In “spiritual inquiry or working with spirit,” questions related to our deepest purposes here on earth are explored. Who are we? Are we merely body and mind or is there a deeper, universal essence to our being? Why are we incarnate, and to what use may we put his incarnate experience? Life offers us some painful experiences. How can we relate to these as “teacher” rather than opponent and respond with increasing wisdom, compassion and love?
Fundamental to our spiritual inquiry is the practice of (mindfulness | vipassana) meditation. While the core of the meditation practices we teach derive from Buddhist traditions, no ritual is included and no special religious beliefs are necessary to their practice. Deep Spring Center is, at heart, a community of individuals who are asking questions about how we can live with more clarity and love.
Deep Spring Center, the organization, is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We offer residential meditation retreats, meditation classes and a meditation sitting group, and conduct workshops on a variety of topics in our home community.
Our founder and guiding teacher is Barbara Brodsky, the channel for Aaron. She is joined by other Deep Spring teachers. We also bring in outside teachers who lead retreats.
Deep Spring Center is a non-profit organization staffed by volunteers, and enjoys recognition by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt public charity.

What does it Truly Mean to be Human? Opening to Freedom.
A series of 3 Workshops in Winter/Spring 2024
With Barbara Brodsky, Colette Simone
and spirit friends Aaron, Yeshua, Mary Magdalene and othersEach virtual workshop will run from 11am – 3pm EST and will be a mix of sharing from spirit and human teachers. This will include some meditation and time for questions and discussion.
Part one: January 20: Choosing Freedom
Part two: March 2: Embracing and Living Freedom
Part Three: May 11: Moving Beyond Fear and Blockages to Full Expression of Freedom.This series is a continuation of the three workshops in Fall 2023 which explored the evolution of consciousness and the challenges of living in a human form.
A Note from Yeshua: The focus of the upcoming workshops is to help individuals understand their true essence as beings of great beauty and power: and that they have the ability to move beyond their perceptions of limitation.
This includes broadening the understanding of karma which helps the human to understand their innate capacity to live with freedom within any circumstance or context.
And within that space of freedom, to be present in the world in a way where each can offer their gifts with less fear, less anxiety, less constriction… learning how to be in the world as it is, but not be controlled by the world as it is.
Each has the capacity to move into that place of freedom, grounded in their essence as a being of love and light and stay centered in that place even in the midst of difficulty.You may attend one, two or all three. We ask that those who don’t attend all 3 workshops read the transcripts of prior workshops so as to better follow the content of each gathering.
