What is the experience of being seated in our inner authority? Of more fully landing here in the timeless now? Of being grounded in but not limited to the body?

This series of four meetings will continue the vital exploration of the groundless ground that we began last spring, further unpacking this dense instinctual level of conditioning in order to more deeply embody our spiritual understanding.

Many long-term spiritual practitioners remain unfamiliar with this critically important domain and are subject to doubting their inner authority and being regularly hijacked by the deeply conditioned and unconscious fears embedded in this area.
