The group meets once a week for seven weeks, on a Thursday evening from 7.00pm – 9.00pm (UK time; GMT) using the Zoom platform.
The Discovering Unity courses explore the commonality of the Oneness of Being that is inherent to the experience of being human. The Deepening Unity courses build on this very practical orientation through meditation, contemplative conversation and embodied inquiry, offering the immersion in a seven-week period where we are encouraged to be attentive to the loving resonance of Being which is inclusive of whatever surfaces in our daily lives. Included in this depth inquiry is the natural question of how might this attending to what is actualy present, be sustained and known.
It is suggested that anyone attending this course has first completed a Discovering Unity course, whether online or in residence at Chisholme, or an equivalent experience. Various resources including written and image-based material will be available to support your explorations during the course. The course will be limited to a small group, so early application is encouraged.
