This study group as we explores “Awake: It’s Your Turn” by Angelo DiLullo. It convenes every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. ET, and began September 3, 2024. Each week, a new facilitator leads the discussion. We welcome everyone to join us in this journey of awakening and self-discovery. Participants are also encouraged to take a turn facilitating the discussion, making this a collaborative and enriching experience for all.

During our time together, we will explore what it takes to live from an open, undefended heart. Naturally, any true exploration of living from the heart necessarily entails taking a deep and sustained look at what prevents us from keeping our hearts open. Grounded in the knowledge that the essence of us, our true nature, is the very lovingness within us all, we will explore how to recognize and release egoic energies by cultivating open-hearted awareness practices which support us in directly experiencing our true Self. By leaning into willingness, steeped in self-honesty, and with a consistent dash of courage, we endeavor to open to whatever life brings, as it brings it, that is, on life’s terms. In so doing, we trust that everything – absolutely everything – is here for us to use for healing, for purification, and for learning to live from the heart. We look forward to supporting each other in our individual explorations of how we truly embrace the entirety of this show we call life.
