Enlightenment & Spirituality Discussion Group Week 3

This Meetup is a place to connect with and learn from others who are on the path of spiritual awakening or just interested in exploring related concepts and practices. A place to share personal experiences, techniques, insights, or for soliciting advice on challenges you are experiencing as part of your journey.

If you are like many of us, yearning to connect with like-minded people, many with similar experiences -- but also each with their own unique experiences and perspectives -- we would love for you to participate!

For this week, I'd like to delve into some broad topics across the Spirituality spectrum and try to get a better sense of everyone's individual perspectives, practices, and experiences. Open dialogue is strongly encouraged!

Topics for this week:

Key Concepts associated with, or that facilitate, your connections:

• Purpose: We are designed/intended to be expansive, creative, curious and exploratory
• Self: Our divine nature, True Self, Parts (IFS), Shadow Work and Active Imagination (Jung)
• Experiencing Suchness vs Aboutness: Experience without labeling, stories, judgement, or expectations
• Interconnectedness
• Vessel Hygiene practices
• Any other concepts helpful to you
