Community Calendar

If we’re all one, why doesn’t it always feel that way?

Together we’ll explore the everyday habits and reactions that create distance between us — and the small shifts
that help us find connection.

Presenter: Marla Estes, www.buildingbridgers.com
Marla Estes is the founder of Building Bridgers, a community initiative that helps people develop the awareness and skills to navigate differences with greater understanding and humanity.

Meditation is a progressive practice, and sometimes very subtle. This group is provided to give you a framework for your practice, and a discussion opportunity for clarifying your experiences and to avoid getting 'stuck' which can happen in various ways.
We are a joyful community, excited to be taking part in our individual explorations of consciousness and learning how that relates to our realities.

Taught in practical, direct and non-sectarian terminology.
