Engaged Nonduality:
Waking Up AND Showing Up
With Miranda Macpherson and Lisa Ferguson
Recording will be emailed to participants within a week.
You’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend the live session.
As these chaotic and challenging times continue, we need the refuge that spiritual practice provides to nurture our access to clarity, peace and joy. Equally, we need the refuge of community, to help us acknowledge all that we may be feeling – fear, anger, despair, hopelessness – and open to the Grace that can transform them into responsiveness from our depth.
We will explore what it takes to abide in natural great peace, real love and trust so we can stay resilient in amidst such anxiety provoking times; what can help us find the restorative Grace we need to thrive, even in the face of heart-breaking news; and most importantly, what can help us to become more potent, graceful human beings, embodying spiritual values in potent, practical actions that serve our loved ones and wider society now.
In this session, spiritual teacher and author Miranda Macpherson will share insights and practices that can help us to honor all parts of our experience, harnessing the intensity of our times to grow deeper, stronger, clearer, wiser – as we wake up and show up in our world today.
- Cultivate the spiritual musculature that supports presence, open-heartedness and equanimity amidst uncertainty
-
- Transform fear into trust, anger into strength, reactivity into responsiveness
- Harness the intensity of our times to grow deeper, stronger, clearer, wiser
- Listen inwardly for fresh ways to show up from your spiritual depth in peaceful actions that serve
The Engaged Nonduality series
This Engaged Nonduality series, hosted by Lisa Ferguson, explores how nondual wisdom may respond to our world in crisis. We live in a time of multiple intersecting crises that threaten the wellbeing of all life, including climate breakdown, unaligned tech and AI, injustice, war and authoritarianism. The recognition of nonduality has much to offer in these times, including a deep knowing of our wholeness and shared Being, as well as opening to the wellspring of our wise and creative response. This series invites guest presenters to explore how nondual teaching may respond to planetary crises through talks, practices and group participation.
