Sacred House Sunday Socials
Every Sunday in Boulder, CO

If you're a parent with young children, click to visit our Family Programs page here!
 

At Sacred House, your strong inner center is what supports you to create your next big goal, action or dream, and we want you to put that goal, action or dream into the world! The majority of our Sunday Socials are about "Personal Practices" - one of 4 Centering Tools that we teach in our 6-Month Challenge program to discover your own recipe to live from your center and create what's next for you. Each person has their own unique style for Personal Practice, and the Socials help you discover yours by exploring the vast variety of practices that have been created over thousands of years and across the globe, plus we show you how to create Personal Practices that are tailor-fit just for you. We also offer Sunday Socials to catalyze the next meaningful goal, action or dream you are currently drawn to create in the world.  

Sunday Socials are at Shine Restaurant's Gathering Place in downtown Boulder. Enjoy some fun and meaningful social time, plus hang out for brunch in good company afterward...

Sunday Social, February 5th:  Rock Your Gifts

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 this Sunday to discover the gifts that you bring--and everything the rest of our family is rocking, too! 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? This Social will cut straight to the chase with fun games that 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 ;)

Our facilitator is Diane Whiddon, a Sacred House collaborator--you might remember her from the last Rock Your Gifts event back in July. Diane is a business coach who specializes in helping people exract their best qualities and put them to work in all kinds of innovative ways.

At this week's social, we'll be playing with the power of Voice and Sound as a way of deepening both internal connection and external expression.

Our guest is Danae Shanti, a voice coach and performer for over 20 years who specializes in a spiritual approach to singing and self-expression.

Then, she'll guide us through some simple vocal exercises to help us start to feel the power of our own voices.

Don't worry--you don't need to have any training in singing or even be remotely "good" at singing to participate in this Social! It's all about getting in touch with the power of sound living inside of you - no matter what it sounds like on the outside :)

Sunday Social, March 5th: Breakthrough Brunch

Are you ready to create something new in your life and want to have a breakthrough about your next steps? Have you been pondering a big question and hoping for insight? Are you always looking for ways to open your mind?

Breakthrough Brunch is a new kind of conversation - a chance to talk with people in a light-hearted but intentional manner that transcends the small-talk and brings us closer to our own truths. Every human being has a unique viewpoint that developed through his or her life experience, and sometimes another person's thoughts are exactly what YOU need to find some clarity. We'll take you through a multi-faceted "discussion" with each other that will introduce all kinds of opportunities to gain insight and make new connections. If you've got a question burning in you be sure to bring it - and if not, bring your curiosity and your desire to inspire!

Sunday Social, March 12th:  In the Footprints of Rumi

This week's Gather features Pouria Montazeri, an guide on - and lover of - the poet and teacher Rumi. Pouria grew up influenced by Rumi's work, and he now draws from his 26 years of experience with Sufism, Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, and other contemplative and mystic practices, and his experiences as a teacher, mindfulness instructor, sangha guide, mentor, and filmmaker to help others live more creative, peaceful, and meaningful lives. He also wrote, directed, and shot “Shams & Rumi: The Fragrance of Axis Mundi”, which won many international film awards.

At our Gather, Pouria will share his personal connection with Rumi and his poetry. He will guide a short heart-centered meditation based on Sufi teachings, recite Rumi in its original language (Persian/Farsi), and will speak to the relevance of Rumi's teachings in our day in the spiritual, psychological, and environmental contexts.

Pouria is passionate about sharing his love of Rumi and mystical poetry. He teaches an experiential class at the Solstice Center for those interested in going deeper. To learn more, visit: http://www.footprintsofrumi.com/ and In The Footprints of Rumi on facebook.

Sunday Social, March 26th: El Camino Pilgrimage Story

Our guest this week is Beth Erlander, a psychotherapist with a wide range of healing modalities under her belt as well as a personal story that has given her deep insight into the step-by-step journey of healing.

In November of 2015, Beth walked part of El Camino de Santiago, a well-traveled and historical pilgrimage route in Spain and France. The experience was so powerful for her that she is planning to co-lead a group trip in the fall of this year. The trip is titled "Walking Prayer-a Transformational Pilgrimage for Those Living with Loss and Life Transitions." In her presentation at Sacred House, Beth will share a bit of her personal story and offer some of the wisdom she gained from her pilgrimage on El Camino on subjects like loss, grief, companionship, and acceptance.
