Are you sick of partisanship? Have you felt powerless to do anything about it? Let’s change that! I believe, collectively, we can make a difference. We can come together as Americans to solve or at least constructively engage in the enormous difficulties we face globally and as a nation. I have a simple idea. It’s not new, but it may not have been used precisely in this way before. Practically all religious denominations talk about it in one way or another; it is the power of the intentional pra …

This meetup is for people in the DC metro area who are on a journey to a state of higher consciousness and a state of oneness. We are dedicated to awakening humankind into a state of Oneness. To awaken is to be free; to be free of the mind from its interference with our experience of life; to be free of the illusion that there is a self and that this self is separate from others. To awaken is to know what we truly are:" the unborn, the undying, the eternal, the ever present, the ever present pre …

Waking Down in Mutuality (WDM) exists for our mutual awakening and embodying of Infinite Consciousness. We have found that the direct route to this type of awakening lies not in striving to rise above our human tendencies, but in falling totally into them with conscious awareness. This, along with an investigation of Consciousness, and transmission of Being, catalyzes a quantum shift in identity. We find that we are no longer exclusively identified with our finite human self, but have shifted …

Defining the word "meditation" doesn't mean anything in and of itself. What's important about meditation is the act of choosing to take time to focus with intention.

Greetings to you all, This group give you an opportunity to receive messages from the spiritual realm. You have spirit guides and helpers that are waiting for you to listen to what they have to say.

To get the best outcome and to tap into what we really need will always require us to listen to the answers and guidance of the spirits first, than ask the ques …

It demonstrates how to integrate and include body, mind, and spirit in self, culture, and nature.
