Religious rituals have occurred, in virtually every human culture, with an almost infinite variety of form. But in every known case, a singular principle holds true: When religious ritual is effective, it inclines the brain to adjust its cognitive and emotional perceptions of the self in a way that religiously-minded persons interpret as
a closing of the distance
between the self and God.
Newberg, d’Aquili and Rause
THE RELEASE OF SUFFERING
a gathering of truth, tenderness, and transformation
In this sacred space, we will come together to gently witness and honor the weight of our suffering — not to push it away, but to be with it. Guided by the timeless wisdom of the ancient path, we will explore the true source of our pain: our attachments, our cravings, our resistance to what is.
Through embodied practice and reflection, we will learn how to feel our deepest emotions fully — grief, longing, fear — and allow them to pass through us like a wave. In this movement, we begin the practice of letting go, not with force, but with compassion.
We enter the place where surrender becomes strength.
We will also explore the truth that the antidote to suffering is love and belonging. And yet, belonging cannot exist without authenticity. Together, we will step bravely into vulnerability, sharing pieces of our truth in a space held with radical acceptance and deep listening. There is no pressure, only invitation.
No performance, only presence.
This is ritual — an intentional crossing into the sacred.
A remembering that you are not alone.
A homecoming to your truest self.
