Hearing the Call from Awakened Wholeness
Pacific Integral is inviting GTC graduates from around the world for a community gathering this August, 2024, to dive into depth and renewal, and to touch the encounter of our personal and collective soul.
“One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began.” - Mary Oliver
This August, we’ll embark on a collective soul initiation journey, crossing the threshold into the mysterious wonder of Awakened Wholeness expressing its birthright to be fully you, and us, from its shimmering, exquisite depths.
Can we become the very service we long to see in the world, beaconing our holy potential as hearts weaving their medicines on the altar of Life?
Let’s explore together how to know our medicines from a deeper ground, from a source we might dare to call Soul.
Do we know our soul as intimately as she knows us?
How does our individual sense of soul, and its living purpose, shapeshift when met with the kaleidoscope of contexts that dream forth our whole, evolving potential?
What about our collective soul? Both the cauldron of souls that makes up our GTC family, and also the soul of humanity, and of our Earth? Does Pacific Integral have a soul? What does she say?
Is it even possible to know Soul without it being mirrored back to us by others? By you?
Our collective prayer will be to return, again and again, to the soul of Service itself, listening for how we can show up - here, now - with our most attuned care, embodied action and courageous hearts.
Can we call forth the bodhisattva warrior that dares to live life fully, not just for ourselves, but as Soul experiencing the majesty of her own blossoming - through us, as Us?
Soul is a living intimacy that is timeless and reimagined time and time again, across nearly all cultures, lineages and epochs. Yet she is only realized when met with the preciousness of presence attuning to exactly Now.
Now is our time!
Soul is purposeful and direct, clear in its mystery and silently screaming. Can you hear us hearing her?
Let’s listen, not just as you and me, but as all of us, and We. Let’s be guided by a source that grace-fully moves us as its holy whole, resting as Deeper Faith guiding itself home.
If you hear the call to gather by the fire within each of our hearts, come to Whidbey this August to fan the flames of Soul, burning the sacred embers of service that illuminate our unfathomable Knowing.
