Have you ever found yourself reacting to a situation in a way that left you feeling regretful or misunderstood? In our fast-paced world, we often lack the tools to bridge the gap between our internal feelings and our external actions. This is why developing Emotional Intelligence is a cornerstone of a modern spiritual life.

By training the mind to recognize these states early, we can prevent suffering before it even begins. Every dharma class in this series is designed to help you "Dharmify" your emotional world. Rather than suppressing your feelings or being swept away by them, you will learn to dance with them. This practice is an essential part of the Path of awakening , ensuring that your spiritual growth is grounded in psychological maturity. As you become more aware of the music of your own impact on others, your relationships shift from sites ...

Have you ever felt that sitting in silence isn't enough to reach the deeper, more fluid parts of your soul? To truly grow, we must learn to be present not just in stillness, but also As the Spirit Moves. This unique spiritual gathering is an invitation to stop observing your life from the sidelines and step fully into the vibrant, moving current of the present moment. It is about becoming a "living dharma"—someone whose very movement in the world is an expression of grace and awareness. This path draws upon the rich, symbolic heritage of the Western Mysteries, where the body is seen as a sacred temple and movement is a form of prayer. Unlike traditional spiritual awakening courses that can sometimes feel dry or detached, this experience emphasizes embodiment. We explore how the spirit moves through our emotions, our breath, and our physical forms, turning every gesture into an opportunity for liberation. This process results in a deep emotional cleansing and a sense of wh...
