During the month of May at EnlightenNext’s Meditation + Evolution Tuesdays, we are discussing evolution as a spiritual path and practice. Last week, we discussed how to have an Evolutionary Dialogue, which is not the same as exchanging ideas… “We need to learn how to activate the part of us that can talk about evolution,…
During the month of May at EnlightenNext’s Meditation + Evolution Tuesdays, we are discussing evolution as a spiritual path and practice. “In spite of how solid and fixed everything appears, in a deeper sense nothing is fixed and everything is moving…. It takes a lot of meditation to uncover this deeper truth that nothing is…
I have found that unless we make a particular decision and effort and stop waiting, the discovery of the point of meditation doesn’t occur. And that’s interesting – although we have the capacity to discover the point of meditation, it needs activating. And however long we wait, it just doesn’t necessarily occur by itself. But…

To put this in context, we started the year 2013 with the Three Keys to Meditation. We discovered the stillness that lies at the root of Life, before anything ever happened and before we came…
When women truly come together, they find spiritual self-confidence and optimism. But beyond that, it releases incredible joy, and the ability for men and women to come together in completely new, creative ways. Patrick Bryson interviewed Kyrsten Perry, MD of the successful Window Venue Hire and long-time student of Andrew Cohen, last Tuesday on the topic…
I’d like to share a poem I wrote, but first I need to explain. This poem is about my having a taste of awakening to evolution. It might sound a little strange that one can speak of ‘awakening’ to evolution. It’s taken me a long time to realise that not only are we all part…
