This introductory talk is for spiritual seekers who are interested in learning more about the problem of racial division from a nondual lens. How might we increase our capacity to relate to ourselves and others in a racialized world? How can we create space to feel less shame and blame in racially charged spaces? The goal of this gathering is to contribute to our individual and collective awakening and healing, particularly as it relates to racial division. The lecture will also include simple practices to soften our hearts and to meet what's here with more spaciousness and presence.

In this 2-class series we will journey into the experience of Nonduality beyond the conceptual, where everything, including our human difficulties, can be experienced as part of our greater wholeness.  To experience this Wholeness, we learn that our personal selves, including our difficulties and suffering, need a home as well. That home is where our humanness and the Absolute touch and it is where the gift of nonduality is experienced. We will use meditation, lecture, inner reflection, spiritual practice and dyad work to immerse you in the place where our humanity and the divine meet. Class 1 will focus on the personal experience of wholeness, while Class 2 will reinforce what we experience in class 1 as well as bring that experience into relationship with another human being. We will begin as separate beings exploring the interface of our flawed humanness and the Great Oneness, ultimately bringing us into the truth, that we are indeed separate beings, flaws and all, and simultaneously an integral part of the interconnected web of life.
