NANI PRANA ~ Be authentic, Love more

I grew up in a household that called themselves Christian but the spiritual loving truth of following the words of Jesus Christ were not brought into our home.
After immature leadership, claiming truth as though they were accurate interpreters of the Bible, lead me astray and towards pride, I left the church.
A secular life was so full of constant questions about the world and though I enjoyed life there was something missing I was always seeking somewhere.
I sought it out in yoga and found something very close. community and safety.
Then it was through a yoga retreat called "Be love now," a plant medicine retreat, where I felt a one-ness, with everyone on the planet like I have never felt before. I cried my eyes out for the suffering on this earth. And I laughed so hard at the ironies and hypocrisy we live in our daily lives. But then I felt the most intense amount of loneliness I had ever felt. Terrified I may never truly connect with another person, or that the darkness that exists here will swallow all the light.
It was then, 14 years after leaving the church and practically renouncing Jesus, due to many of who I would imagine he would be sad called themselves righteous followers. In that moment at that retreat, after years of not considering Jesus to be beyond any guru that has or does live, when his love literally flooded over me like an ocean. I suddenly had a new awareness of his crucifixion. The love he must have embodied to literally forgive those who not only physically harmed him but for the religious leaders of the time that literally requested his death because he wasn't properly religious. Jesus was one of us, the us that see the issue with MANY religious leaders. His true love touched me and I have been studying and reading his words.

But here I am trying to find community, people who respect breathwork, somatic feeling, true safety, the 8 limbs of yoga AND ALSO are not physically resisting the idea that Jesus Christ could be the most potent leader of Love we could possibly follow.

So please come and lets talk, with open minds and open hearts.
Truly I am filled with love, and an energy to learn how to collaborate between what feel like two colliding worlds.
