Our true nature has been present since the very beginning, but in order to enter the human world we had to split ourselves from it through our wanting mind. How do we go from endless wanting to awakening to our timeless/boundless nature?

All sentient beings have needs and wants that develop through time. From its basic form of moving towards pleasure and away from pain, to looking for friends and belonging, to seeking knowledge, success, connection, or truth – our wanting mind develops throughout our human journeys in increasing levels of complexity as we try to find happiness.

And yet, the ancient traditions tell us that this wanting is precisely what prevents us from discovering what we truly long for; to realize our true nature.

This workshop is an opportunity to discover what lies beyond our wanting minds. It will feature an innovative form of collective interactive meditation designed to bring a direct glimpse of our timeless/boundless nature.
