You are open-minded and aha-oriented. You love to be social and to inspire others while being inspired. You are energized at the thought of making a difference in the world, and you have ideas brewing for how you can make a contribution, or maybe you're already acting on those ideas. You love our Sacred House "spiritual autonomy" approach, because you too believe that our ultimate answers come from within.

Spirituality at Sacred House is simply a set of practical and non-mysterious tools for feeling deeply alive and connected to yourself, others and something larger that connects us all. Whether you think of yourself as "spiritual" or not, from the Sacred House perspective, everyone is spiritual because we each have our own blueprint for finding answers and creating our most fulfilling lives. When you live by this "recipe", you live the life that will bring you great satisfaction, and you'll enjoy the ride with others like you along the way.

 

  We invite you to our Socials & Events below!

 

Socials & Classes - October & November, 2016

 

Sunday Social, October 2nd:  The Art of Being in the Moment

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”

― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

How do we drop out of mental interpretations of life, and drop in to a direct experience of being alive? Rather than focus on delivering a philosophy or set of ideas, Bansi will aim to drop us into a direct experience of being present, connected, and open to listening to non-mental levels of intelligence, whether it be the body, emotions, instinct, intuition, spirit, etc... we will practice being present with whatever is here and finding full alignment while also being present with each other.

Bansi created a new interactive relational meditation called The Field of Awakening, which supports the growth and development of human consciousness – and can be a foundation for a new way to be in community that is based not on any ideology or belief system, but rather on direct experience. He also offers integral energy healing sessions that expands personal empowerment as well as aiding in healing childhood wounds and traumas.

We will be present to what is, and to the best of our ability allow ourselves to experience our wholeness, our alignment within our being, and to be with what wants to happen though and between us. No preparation needed. Just come as you are!

Details: Please arrive at Shine Restaurant's Gathering Place (2027 13th Street in Boulder) at 11:00 am so we can start at 11:15 am. Socials are free of charge. There will be an opportunity to contribute $5 or $10 after the event, but it is not required. The event ends at 12:30 pm, with organic community brunch, snacks or tea afterward.

  

 

Sunday Social, October 9th:  A Different View of Jesus

Join us this Sunday for a presentation on Christianity from Stephen Bross, a spiritual seeker who, in his own words, "has found his way back to his Christian roots, informed by other traditions, yielding a fresh and compelling view of Jesus, quite different from the Jesus presented by most churches today."

Where do the messages of our contemporary capitalist culture interfere with the ancient wisdom teachings which promise to lead us to freedom, and do those teachings apply today? How to we step into a more life-giving, community-centric, earth-centric way of being without abandoning our individuality and our real human needs? And how might we rediscover one of the most profound teachers in history, Jesus, without confusing those teachings with their misrepresentation by the institutional church?

Stephen is a local musician, entrepreneur and former aspirant to the priesthood in the Episcopal church, will share the journey he has taken over 25 years on numerous spiritual paths and teachings and will offer some of the treasures and pitfalls he discovered on the way. We will explore the wisdom of Jesus and other paths which addresses one of the core challenges we face trying to walk the path of Truth, awakening into our full human potential and wholeness in a culture obsessed with individual achievement and material gratification. 

We will take in and process these simple and powerful instructions Jesus offered which lead us from the me to the WE: Fear not. Resist not. Judge not. Empty yourself of yourself. Love everyone. Feel. Serve.

Please join us for a rich conversation, deep personal inquiries and some experiential activities that offer to give us a more direct, personal taste of Presence, wholeness, purpose, connection and community.

Details: Please arrive at Shine Restaurant's Gathering Place (2027 13th Street) between 11:00 am and 11:15 am so we can start promptly at 11:15 am. Socials are free of charge. $10 suggested donation. The event ends around 12:30 pm with organic brunch, snacks or tea afterward. 

 

 

Sunday Social, October 16th:  Rock Your Gifts

One of the ingredients in our Sacred House Recipe For Spirituality is to know your gifts and claim them, whether that be in subtle ways that permeate your life, or in big ways that express vibrantly in the world. And one of the most rewarding things about our Sacred House Spiritual Family is that we make it our business to know each other's gifts. When you know your own gifts, and others know your gifts, you can't help but energize them. At Sacred House, we believe the more individuals rocking their gifts... their true super powers... their essential unique qualities... the better we make the world. Imagine if everyone in the world was rocking their true essence - what a different world it would be.

Join us to discover the gifts that each lovely person in our spiritual family brings. Isn't it funny how you can sit in a room full of people and not necessarily ever hear about the amazingness of each person? We're cutting straight to the chase this Sunday. Fun activities will give each of us the opportunity to notice our own gifts and learn about others' gifts. Be open to surprising yourself! This will be a celebration and a mini-workshop and a social all in one, with a touch of goofy rolled in there too ;)

Facilitators: Sacred House Founder Lisa Hunter teams up with the fabulous Diane Whiddon, whose work in the world is all about helping people rock their divine gifts. Diane is great fun to be around, and you can't help but feel the spark of your life when you participate in the activities that she brings. You can learn more about her at www.DianeWhiddon.com

Sunday Social, November 6th:  Tuning In To Your Inner Voice

This Sunday's Social features Danae Shanti, a professional intuitive coach and guide for almost three decades.

Danae specializes in helping people connect to their own intuition, the inner voice that is always speaking and offering guidance, direction, and wisdom. Most of the time, we can't hear that voice because our thoughts and emotions are too loud, and we don't really know how to listen. Danae will offer us some simple exercises and experiences to help us get quiet inside and hear what our own personal truth has to say.

Danae has helped individuals get connected through both private sessions and workshops around the globe. She's also toured with her band, Yume World Music, and she's been a speaker at numerous conferences, for programs including A Course in Miracles and The Crimson Circle.
