Awakening Your Spiritual Heart is an amazing weekend experience, where you will have the chance to experience spiritual community with like–minded gay men, and learn a whole approach to having a more peaceful, powerful and fulfilling life. Through focusing on meditation, creating awareness, and working with various practices and exercises to rediscover yourself, the weekend is an opportunity to re-frame your experience and create a foundation that rarely fails at endlessly supporting you in a very positive way.

Meditation is a highly misunderstood practice…  Its benefits are underrated and many are not even known to most people.

  • Develops concentration, focus, and creates the ability to be present. This enhances all of life’s experiences.
  • Increases your inner-awareness, to support a deeper understanding of yourself, which allows for you to have a much more manageable experience of life.
  • Creates opportunity for insight and answers.
  • Dismantles and transforms difficult emotional states and can reduce emotional overwhelm.
  • Gives you tools that allow you to decrease anxiety and stress.
  • Helps free yourself from your old patterns and habits, so you can create new ones that will benefit yourself and others.
  • Purifies your emotional bodies and releases old pain and trauma.
  • Connects you with your inner stillness and can create inner peace and comfort.
  • Creates the opportunity to connect with your inner wisdom and God/Universal heart, however you want to define source.
  • Reduces blood pressure, and improves overall health and well-being.
  • Develops inner strength, discipline, stamina, and the ability to take action in life.
  • Develops the mindfulness to be more skillful with ourselves, our relationships, and the world.
  • Develops a loving, friendly and forgiving relationship with ourselves.
  • Cultivates compassion, loving-kindness, joy, and gratitude.
  • Exponentially boosts our personal growth and evolution.

To put into words how meditation and living a mindful life can benefit you is almost impossible.  You have to experience how it can allow you to shift and free yourself from the normal kind of struggle that many people experience. You can’t always change your life circumstances, but you can change the way you relate to them.  At the same time, changing the way you relate to them often helps us see new options, and opens up new opportunities and solutions in unexpected ways.

In this workshop, you will be guided through various different meditation and mindfulness styles and techniques that will give you an opportunity to come away with something that will work for you.  There is no right way to meditate, just the right way that works for you and what you need.  You should come away with enough exposure, experience and information to understand how some form of this practice might work for you, as well as have insight into why it’s worth it.  The weekend will also include other exercises and experiences that are designed to give you new opportunities for self discovery that will be insightful, fun and meaningful..

In addition, you’ll be in a community with like-minded and similarly intentioned gay men. It’s a great chance to socialize and experience each other in a deeply meaningful and rewarding way.  Make new friends, have relaxing time and enjoy the wonderful fresh air of Sedona. In a beautiful space, with a peaceful and retreat atmosphere, the weekend will provide you with and opportunity for learning, growth, friendship, relaxation, and self-reflection.  It’s a time to get grounded, renew, refresh and relax.
