Most of us come to a spiritual path hoping to gain something, perhaps inner peace or certainty. Or maybe we want to be more loving and compassionate.

But a true spiritual path requires we lose a lot, lose whatever has kept us smaller than we are, less awake than we are, less available to life than we might be.

We go through these losses in order to know our True Nature, and this requires courage. And to live what we know is a further maturation.

Over time, we learn to embody that knowing – to stay the course, to face the inner obstacles that arise, to be willing to leave the familiar world of who we take ourselves to be.

Though we usually don’t realize it, courage is intrinsic to our nature, and this weekend will be an exploration of that quality – what blocks it, how we come to know it, and how we learn to live it. We hope you can join us.
