GIVING TRUTH RADICAL REAL FORM: An Evening Satsang with Bernie Prior
Thursday, May 15th, 8pm ~ Although much of humanity is still moved by conditional experience, patterns of egoity passed down by generation after generation, at some point Truth begins to awaken the individual, the beginning of a real universal life. From this point onward we discover how to give form or expression to the truth we are knowing within, directly as our real Self. As we begin to value our true knowingness more than our safety zones, Truth begins to shine through as our love of creation and creating true mirrors of the Self. Join celebrated Australian spiritual teacher Bernie Prior in this rare opportunity to experience deep self-knowledge.  $20 at the door
