So many of us long for clear guidance for our lives, especially in
turbulent times such as we live in now. Dreams provide a neverending
stream of just what we need. When the sun goes down,
we can see the stars. And when the conscious mind goes to
sleep, we can receive the subtler guidance and blessings from
other aspects of our beings and from other realms of wisdom.
And so also with the Oracles. If we allow their images and symbols
to speak to us directly and set aside the critical mind for
awhile, wonderful and often surprising wisdom and insight come
to us.
The Light Of Awareness with Murshida Leilah Be in Nevada City Apr 21-22.
Spiritual Practice that engages the heart is a profoundly
effective method for awakening to our True Nature. Human Beings thrive from
meaningful connection with one another, as well as diving deeply into the silence
within. We will engage ourselves in meditation, heart-centered reflections, zikr
and dance to increase the Light of Awareness and enter the Stream of Pure
Consciousness.

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams,
because every second of the search is a second's encounter
with God and with eternity."
