JOIN US IN ENTERING THIS NEW ERA OF MUTUALITY
Heart Awareness necessarily has a world side. As we become more accustomed to Heart Awareness, the world too changes its countenance, particularly the Natural World, where these changes are most immediately apparent.
The multiplicity of the Natural World changes from named things and sensations/perceptions – trees, birds, animals, Earth, to presences – tree presences, bird presences, animal presences, and even Earth presence, each unique, relating with surrounding presences and directly with each of us.
Presences present themselves as alive, awareness-filled, relating with us, relating with each other. EVERYTHING offers itself as presence but is too often met as if something ‘over there’, separate...even human beings ‘relating’ with each other are seen as one human being ‘over there’, the other human being ‘over here’ and relating becomes a ‘back and forth’ rather than ‘the between’ of the relating.
Changing what was sensed as ‘thingified” to being with presence is immediate and apparent – but our habitual consciousness is strong and the changes quickly disappear back into the habitual way of seeing things conceptually. The change has to be practiced, noticed, practiced, noticed, practice noticed until the new awareness itself notices that it is perceiving what is coming to be rather than as ‘already there’.
Joining ourselves, consciously, with what we sense and perceive, and meet, now in “perceptual mutuality” forms the theme of this remarkable gathering in a remarkable place, Pecos, New Mexico.
Be with us for three days, change your life, allow Earth to change you, for Earth always, inevitably experiences us as presences. Let us come into the Era of Mutuality!
How we will be Engaged
*Awakening to heart awareness and heart-awareness relating. Noticing heart awareness all the time as the ‘hum’ of the heart, noticing the change in our sensing/perceiving/knowing when consciously awake to/with presences.
*Inspired conversations among ourselves where we can learn to notice the relating itself rather than being in relation with someone. Human relating as inherently awakening presence.
*Various simple practices of noticing the Natural world too as inherently related as presence. Noticing the changes in our being as we relate presence with presence.
