Satsang Reflections is a monthly dialogue held after the Satsang. The purpose of this installment is to share what was most impactful, hear from others about what they took away, and deepen into the teaching from the Satsang interview with Manuela Giaroli where she was interviewed by Revs. Anne Blanchard and Rhoda Makled.

If you didn’t get a chance yet to listen to the pre-recorded Satsang then this could be an opportunity to catch the highlights and see if this particular Satsang might inspire you in some way.

One strength of Buddhism is its practices. According to Thich Nhat Hahn, “Awareness of Being is the backbone of the Buddhist method. Awareness of Being is a discipline that helps man to realize himself.”

In this class you will learn:

1.   To discern simple spiritual practices that are useful.

2.   To discern universal wisdom that is helpful when held in universal consciousness.

Join us for our next Movie Watcher’s Group which will be facilitated by Rev. Kelly Barber on Sunday, October 22, 2023, at 8 pm ET/6 pm MT.

Here’s the playsheet that Rev. Kelly Barber created for this movie: Click Here

The Fundamentals of Caring is a 2016 American comedy-drama film starring Paul Rudd, Selena Gomez, and Craig Roberts. Paul, a writer, retires after a personal tragedy and becomes a disabled teen’s caregiver. When the two embark on an impromptu road trip, their ability to cope is tested as they start to understand the importance of hope and friendship.

This movie was chosen to help us explore one’s responsibilities to self, others, and The One.

It is through relationships with others that we are given the golden opportunities to look within and find our own areas of holding on to tight, and severing connections when they don’t meet our expectations. Between those two extremes lies the experience of love for what IS, in each moment.

Done with humor and compassion this movie provides themes of identity, forgiveness, desire, and the tenacious compulsion to control the events in our lives.

This movie is available on Netflix.
