The Light of Awareness with Murshida Leilah Be in Nevada City Apr 21-22. Flyer and info here. May already be filled to capacity.

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.
