  Inspiration  
 


I had the pleasure of hearing Andrew Harvey at Omega's conference on Being Fearless last month down in NYC. Being in his energy reminds me again what passion can be. Here is a quote from one of his translations of Rumi, the Sufi mytic poet of the 8th century from the book Teachings of Rumi: 

"...Lovers who drink the wine's dregs Reel from bliss to bliss; Dark-hearted skeptics Burn inwardly with denial. Intellect says, "Stay where you are! Annihilation has only thorns!" Love laughs, "The thorns are in you!" Keep silent, and tear Being's thorn Out of your heart; Discover in your own soul Rose garden after rose garden." Kristen

Pleasure as a Spiritual Practice.

Consciousness is the key to transforming mundane pleasure into something more profound. In this workshop, we will explore both the theory and practice of bringing consciousness to pleasurable experience and help you begin exploring your pleasure more fully and intentionally. Cost: $25. Please RSVP: 203.854.5596. For more information about Mark & Patricia see their website www.tantrapm.com.
