Wesak is the Festival of the Buddha, celebrated each year at the full moon in Taurus, when the light of love-wisdom streams most powerfully into the world.

You are welcome to join the table whether or not you bring a dish.

[https://forms.gle/NxxF5Lq8rn7KPo649](https://forms.gle/NxxF5Lq8rn7KPo649) *** 5th Field of Group Work: **The Mystery of the Wesak Festival** Keynote: **“ I SEE, AND WHEN THE EYE IS OPENED, ALL IS ILLUMINED”** The 5th Field represents love-wisdom — the second great aspect of divinity, the quality of illumined compassion at the heart of all genuine spiritual teaching. Wesak marks the high-water mark of spiritual blessing in the world: a time of unusual inflow of life and spiritual stimulation, when — as those who study the Ageless Wisdom understand — it is as if a door opens that at other times stands closed. Whatever one’s tradition, those who approach this period with inner stillness, prayer, and aspiration can receive what is available and serve as channels for its wider distribution. *** ## **Major Themes of Taurus ♉** ### **Illumination** Taurus carries the light of concentrated desire turned toward the soul — the "Eye of the Bull" which, when spiritually awakened, becomes the All-Seeing Eye of the initiate. The deepest theme of Taurus is **the shift from darkness to light**, from the heavy pull of matter to the blazing recognition of spiritual reality. Taurus teaches us that the path to illumination runs directly through our deepest desires, not around them. ### **Desire Transmuted Into Aspiration** Ruled by Venus, Taurus governs the entire spectrum of desire — from the most material cravings to the most refined spiritual longing. The Taurean soul is engaged in the great alchemical work of **transmuting personal desire into impersonal aspiration**. What once drove the personality toward form and possession is redirected upward, becoming the single-pointed drive toward liberation and the good of the whole. ### **Will-to-Good** At its most exalted, Taurus is the sign through which the **Will of Shamballa** flows into manifestation — the first great aspect of divinity, the cosmic will-to-good that underlies all creation. This is not personal will or even soul will, but the primordial impulse of divine purpose. The Taurean initiate becomes a channel for this Will, embodying the force that drives evolution forward. *** ## **Planetary Rulers** **Exoteric Ruler: Venus ♀ —** The principle of love-wisdom and harmony, drawing the personality toward beauty, relationship, and the refinement of desire. Venus works in Taurus to elevate the senses toward the soul. **Esoteric Ruler: Vulcan √ —** The divine smith who works in the depths of matter, forging the soul's instrument through the fires of experience. Vulcan represents the hidden, interior work of soul development — the patient hammering of the personal self into a fit vehicle for spiritual expression. **Hierarchical Ruler: Vulcan √ —** At the highest level of initiation, Vulcan reveals the deep relationship between Taurus and the first aspect of Will, forging the initiate into a pure instrument of Shamballa's purpose. *** ### **Positive Qualities** * Single-Pointed Spiritual Will * Steadfastness and Endurance * Capacity for Illumination * Constructive Power to Build and Manifest * Refined Aesthetic Sensitivity ### **Negative Qualities** * Stubbornness and Resistance to Change * Materialism and Possessiveness * Sensual Indulgence * Inertia and Attachment to Form * Blind Determination Without Wisdom *** # **The Labour of Hercules \~*The Capture of the Cretan Bull*** Hercules must travel to the island of Crete to capture the magnificent bull that has been rampaging through the land, sowing destruction wherever it goes. The bull represents the powerful, unmastered desire nature — the driving force of Taurus that, left unchecked, creates chaos in the life of the aspirant. Unlike many of his other labours, Hercules captures the bull alone, without weapons, using only his bare hands and his understanding. He rides the bull across the sea back to Eurystheus, who — unable to manage it — releases it again, where it eventually becomes the Marathonian bull. This labour teaches the Taurean disciple that the desire nature cannot be killed or suppressed; it must be **understood, captured, and consciously redirected**. The great force of Taurus, once brought under the soul's control, is not destroyed but transformed — becoming the single-pointed driving power of spiritual will that carries the disciple toward liberation. **Read the full text here (free PDF): [https://www.bailey.it/files/Labours-of-Hercules.pdf](https://www.bailey.it/files/Labours-of-Hercules.pdf)** *** Thank you for participating in the Open Heart meditations 💙 \~ Love is never wasted

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/KYLZlD), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you'd like to support, you can [donate here](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-practical-philosophy)! (Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity) **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it. * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * **Is it mostly men that attend?** Surprisingly, no! Although often, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * **Can I come alone?** Of course you can, we encourage it :) * **Can I be late?** Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * **Where do you meet?** The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/KYLZlD)[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FtwkSBwyNUbCTSOq5H4Kmn?mode=gi_c)group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our[ website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group.

**Is public speaking fear or anxiety holding you back or limiting your potential in your life or career?** If so this immersive weekend (retreat like) experience could be for you. The format for the weekend is an evolution of my mission to help people **transmute subconscious fears** and blocks and self-limiting beliefs into public speaking passion, authenticity, and confidence. I've honestly never felt more certain that I’ve found the secret to **unlocking speaking power in a way that actually lasts.** I designed this weekend to be an inspiring climb up **The Public Speaking Breakthrough Ladder.** I've designed each rung to unlock a new, empowering state of being in your public speaking and then **lock that feeling into your nervous system.** Through curated quotes, deep questions, story and message prompts and a few other secret ingredients we will progress though the following 3 phases. Before I describe the format I want to acknowledge that just the thought of public speaking can feel overwhelming, but this is a **safe**, **judgment-free zone.** You will be speaking in this weekend retreat but this weekend isn't about having to perform or being put on the spot; it's about recalibrating your system so you can feel **safe and calm** as you speak. * **Phase 1: Breakthroughs 1 to 3.** * **Awareness:** What we witness, we can influence. We bring the blocks out of the shadows and share them to release their grip. * **Courage:** We'll explore courage's earliest meaning - "to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart." - as a **powerful transmuting tool.** * **Acceptance:** This isn't about passivity; it’s about actively allowing the resistance to come and out so we reclaim our power. * * **Phase 2: Breakthroughs 4 to 6.** * **Connection**: Once we connect with ourselves we learn to connect with others and lock that safety it into your subconscious. * **Confidence:** The shift from **"seeking approval" to "granting permission."** You'll learn to trust in your nervous system to stay present. * **Intention:** Breaking the habit of "playing small" and moving from how am I doing to **what is my message and how is it impacting?** * * **Phase 3: Breakthroughs 7 to 9** * **Authenticity:** Stripping away what you think you should be as a speaker to discover and **embrace who you actually are.** * **Authority:** For this weekend authority is a magnetic command that comes from knowing why you and your message matter. * **Bliss:** The final rung. The "flow state" where the fear is gone and speaking becomes something you enjoy. Imagine it yours to keep! ## **The Details** * **When:** Saturday May 2nd and Sunday May 3rd (10am to 4pm) * **Where:** 10 Lower Jarvis Street (Loblaws Community Room 2nd Floor) * **$595** ( $495 if you register before April 14 ) * Limited to 12 participants to ensure we can do the deep work required for these breakthroughs. * **Preparation:** No need to prepare anything in advance. * **Lunch:** We'll take a break for lunch; lots of options available.

Expect to be challenged, affirmed, and genuinely seen - sometimes all in the same breath. **Annette Santiago Reyes** Annette has a rare talent: she makes the way you communicate feel like a discovery, not a critique. A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact. Whether you're navigating change, life’s challenges, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others. Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there. **Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab. **Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting. Stephanie doesn’t just develop leaders. She develops the kind of leaders people actually want to follow. **Lillian Morales-Laster** SVP Human Resources Director at United Midwest Savings Bank and Executive Director of the Empowering Latinas Leadership Academy (ELLA). Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments. She leads with a vision of ensuring Latinas' voices are included in crucial decision-making processes, because for Lillian, ELLA is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes. **Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it. She asks the questions most people are afraid to, creates space for honest reckoning, and somehow makes the hard work feel energizing. If you’ve ever wondered why doing everything right still feels like something’s missing, you’re in exactly the right room. **Why Confidence Lab?** Confidence is the foundation for success in every area of life.
