Meditation + Evolution Evenings
EnlightenNext UK Centre, Islington
7:30 – 9:00pm
Introduction for first time visitors 7.00 – 7.30pm
Enjoy a focused, joyful, spiritually infused environment like no other. The weekly programmes provide you with an ever-new and on-going encounter with shared depth that points to new potentials within and without. Feel free to attend as many sessions as you like but we encourage a regular attendance to gain the most benefit.
Format: Introduction, period of meditation and discussion
£5 (first introductory visit free). Light dinner served afterwards £5.
Every Tuesday evening you can learn from an authentic transmission of Evolutionary Enlightenment, the newly emerging form of contemporary spirituality developed over 25 years by spiritual teacher, philosopher and cultural pioneer Andrew Cohen and his students.
What you can expect:
- Learn how to practice meditation, the art and science of stillness, in order to access an unshakeable confidence in life.
- Understand the profound difference between meditation for Enlightenment versus meditation to gain freedom from stress.
- Learn why, in a world characterised by exponential change, a philosophical appreciation of the process of evolution is as important as spiritual experience.
- Meet like-minded people who are interested in discovering and sharing the positivity of life and who want to participate in a cultural renaissance founded in meaning and purpose.
Programme
Living Your Deepest Realization
20 March
Evolutionary Enlightenment is about becoming an agent of evolution
When you realize that an inherent part of who you are is the evolutionary impulse, you awaken to a part of yourself that is ultimately positive.
27 March
The experience of letting go of everything
If we let go of everything, we discover the deepest part of
ourselves, which is primordial freedom.
3 April
Freedom from Karma
In traditional enlightenment, by letting go of everything we are liberated from our karma and all of its momentum.
10 April
A couple of significant spiritual breakthroughs are enough
Once the ultimate truth has been revealed to you, you must begin to act on it.
17 April
In defense of trying
Ultimately, spiritual aspiration is our most precious resource and it is making noble effort that builds spiritual aspiration.
24 April
No gap between our life and our realization
The non-difference between spirit and daily life.
1 May
The Value of Ego
The ego is valuable because it represents the capacity for individuation. But we have become too absorbed in our own individuation and that is now preventing higher development.
8 May
Speech is Action
Speech is an action, just like walking and making decisions are actions. In this light, we need to make sure we speak wisely because our speech transmits our interior convictions and beliefs.
15 May
There is no Time to be Unenlightened
Evolutionary Enlightenment is concerned about the quality of our responses in the present moment.
22 May
Holding the Outside-In Perspective
Evolutionary Enlightenment is a results-oriented teaching.
29 May
The Power of the Future
Spiritual self-confidence comes from abandoning any other option for the future except your own unconditional liberation for the sake of the evolution of consciousness, culture, and cosmos.
