 For myself I used to look for places to go to and there really was no place to go to unless you went camping or you went out and sat by a creek. You know it's if you want that time of nurturing the spiritual journey and you want to just step out of your life then I would go to a monastery you know I've always felt like the monastery is the heart it's symbolic of the heart's true desire the heart's true love you know because this awakening is meant to be a love story really that's why we're all for it yeah that calling is is profound and that's the thing I know is that people who hear that will resonate immediately you know your heart kind of jumps a little bit when something is meant for you you know and uh and so it feels like that's really the offering here is come home come home it's also like just such an honor for us to welcome you and to say yes there is a place there is a heartfelt place there's a center that you can come to and and really just allow allow allow and rest deeply rest or work through something that needs to be faced and work through the people that live here have dedicated their lives to living in this presence this hasn't been a casual calling it's been a wholehearted and committed time of uncovering and releasing the blocks to this presence and so that's what is holding the space here is that kind of dedication and devotion much like traditional monasteries and although we don't wear robes and we may look fairly normal this is our life and we just want to invite and and extend this beautiful gift of serenity and peace it's it's built on such a pure intention of healing and going for this great awakening that is happening and we all feel it it is happening it's time for us to you know just to pay attention to that that pull you know that real deep pull in the heart for something and not to ignore that but to actually nurture it at whatever pace you can nurture it there's a a place for you here there is a beautiful loving space that's available where you can just be
