Find meditation, devotional, and energy practices that will make available meaningful change in your life. Together we will explore how our emotional patterns, reactions to life situations, and meditation experiences can reveal what is asking to be healed. Eastern contemplative practices assume that the practitioner loves himself, is relatively free from doubt and guilt, and is basically not neurotic. In our experience many people harbor unconscious assumptions regarding their ability to significantly deepen their relationship with self, with truth, with Presence. Being in a supportive, small group setting will allow the uncovering of these assumptions and the discovery of the way to healing for each individual. These will not be meditation groups, but groups which use meditation to facilitate deep inner work bringing a sense of connection, connection with other and with self. These will not be therapy groups, but groups that that support opening directly to patterns that previously have blocked the experience of Presence. All that is asked of the participants is a desire to awaken.
Facilitated by Dale Borglum, PhD, Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project
Dale has extensively practiced in the Vipassana, Zen, Tibetan Vajrayana, and Dzogchen Buddhist traditions. Dale’s core practice is devotional, drawing from both his Christian roots and his immersion into Hinduism to a depth which is too personal to share in these few words. Having guided many hundreds of people approaching death, Dale developed the ability, in most cases, to see clearly what blocks the next step toward freedom, insight that enables a person to touch Awakened Mind. The groups explore deeply this inner work, this practical healing, this intersection of the spiritual and the psychological, and in this process awaken gratitude for the preciousness of life.
Clients may also meet with Dale on an individual basis, exploring the intersection of spirituality and psychology as mentioned above and/or working with end-of-life issues.
Both the small groups and the individual sessions are for a fee at the moderate end of the scale.
