Being the Change: A We-Space Exploration with Terry Patten

Wednesday, November 6th, 2019, 7:00 to 9:30pm, Berkeley

“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!”

After we meditate together and Terry offers an introduction, we will get together in small groups for a series of experiential practices. The exercises will help us relax, open, drop into contact with both the beautiful miracle and the irreducible pain of life, and build trust and intimacy. We will open in gratitude and care, face what we fear, feel what breaks our hearts and rest as awareness itself. In the process we will intend the stirrings of “a new republic of the heart” to arise among us.

We will cultivate the emergence of awakened “We-Space” through which we, together, can “be the change.” Guidance and practices will build to create a shared experience of awakened presence, interpersonal intimacy, and evolutionary possibility. 

This evening will draw upon and extend lessons learned the field of “Integral We-Space”. No pre-reading is necessary, but participants will have an opportunity to read an expanded version of Terry’s chapter in the book, “Cohering the Integral We-Space” ed. by Gunnlaugson & Brabant (2015).

Most of all, it will be an evening designed to be richly nourishing antidote to the forces the create loneliness, anxiety and distrust — a sacred crucible for cultivating depth, tenderness and awakening.
