Integrity with Ourselves and the World 

As we continue on our spiritual path, wherever we have come from and to wherever we may go, our faith, strength, and sustenance can arise through the bringing all of who we are into our personal journey and to the larger World. This is the experience of Integrity or creating wholeness from the different areas of our lives. And we know intuitively, experientially, and empirically that the Whole is so much greater than the sum of the parts. Join us to explore cultivating Integrity and Wholeness in our spiritual practice, regardless of external conditions upon us. Open to all levels of meditation—beginners to experienced practitioners. Please bring your lunch and all of who you are into our experience together.
