Theravada Buddhism

Welcome to [Hidden Lotu.s] This is not just another meetup. This is a space created for self-awareness, intentionality, mindfulness, and growth in mind, body, and soul. Our purpose is simple: • To provide a safe container for you to explore healing, self-discovery, and spiritual practice. • To guide (not do) your healing journey — giving you tools, practices, and insights so you can ground your own energy, manifest your own visions, and connect with your own power. This group is for anyone who walks a different path — seekers, dreamers, practitioners of light. Whether you identify as a mystic, magician, alchemist, healer, “weirdo,” societal outcast, or simply someone tired of the surface-level distractions of this world… you are welcome here. 💰 Energy Exchange 300k VND (in-person or Zoom) This isn’t just a ticket—it’s a commitment to yourself and the group, showing you’re serious about your growth and respectful of everyone involved. I’ve spent 3 years and over $10K deepening these practices, and I’m keeping this intentionally accessible because I believe this work should reach our community. This pricing won’t last forever—it’s my way of giving back to those who are ready now. Your investment includes: • Guided practices and wisdom to align and ground your energy. • An environment designed to support your highest good (not your self-destruction). • The opportunity to be part of the FIRST dedicated spiritual awareness group in VN — a community built on respect, curiosity, and authenticity. 🧘 What to Expect • Breathwork, grounding, and energy-alignment exercises. • Space to reflect, share, and connect without judgment. • Practices that can be taken home and applied to your own spiritual journey. 📜 Ground Rules (Read Carefully) This is a space of respect, awareness, and truth. To keep the energy clean: 1\. Zero Judgment – all religions\, lifestyles\, and beliefs are welcome\. 2\. No Toxicity – destructive behaviors \(to self or others\) won’t be tolerated\. 3\. Consent is Key – no touching\, pressuring\, or bothering anyone without their explicit consent\. 4\. No “Fixing” Others – share only if asked\. Everyone has their own path\. 5\. No Selling/Preaching – outside services\, agendas\, or recruitment are strictly prohibited\. 6\. No Babysitting – we guide\, you walk\. Your healing is yours to claim\. 7\.
