Only if one knows the truth of love, which is the real nature of Self, will the strong entangled knot of life be untied. Only if one attains the height of love will liberation be attained. Such is the heart of all religions. The experience of Self is only love, which is seeing only love, hearing only love, feeling only love, tasting only love and smelling only love, which is bliss.
~ Ramana Maharshi

Do understand that you are destined for enlightenment. Cooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself. All you have to do is to give attention to the obstacles created by the foolish mind.

Join us at our Silent Peace Retreat, November 12 – November 15, as we "Walk for Peace" beneath the open sky, weather permitting.

Learn to enter the Present Moment and happily linger there with Spirit. To help you connect, Sharon Ray will teach six simple, sacred techniques through The Path of S.M.I.L.E.S., centered on six practices. Each step offers an opportunity to cultivate mindfulness, inner peace, emotional alignment, and a deeper awareness of the sacred within and around you.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll be invited to participate in meaningful experiences designed to gently open your heart, quiet the mind, and deepen your connection with Spirit.

Come walk, breathe, open, and reconnect—with yourself, with Spirit, and with the peace we carry into the world.

By letting go of our fascination with the extraordinary and spectacular, we can allow ourselves to recognize the simple wonder that lies within the ordinary.
For life is its own purpose, and doesn't need a reason to be. That is its beauty.

As far as inner transformation is concerned, there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
