Experience the Power of a Deeptime Perspective

in Love and Discernment

 

A deeptime perspective can inspire and motivate us, opening possibilities for ourselves and the planet as a whole.   But what difference does it make specifically for love and discernment?

In this event you’ll have a chance to see and experience the power of  love and decision-making inside of the larger context of an evolving interconnected universe.  In communion with others, the power of a deeptime perspective and the beauty of an Ecozoic era of mutually enhancing relationships can become irresistible, such that blocks and resistance melt away.

A Deeptime perspective can empower us to do our “Great Work,” (Thomas Berry) and “Cosmic Task” (Maria Montessori), the work of this moment that best serves ourselves, the whole, and helps to propel evolution to its next stage.

Discerning a Way Forward in a Deeptime Community

Join us as we explore the power of passion, allurement and discernment in community.  Allurement is cosmological power that shapes the power of the destiny of the universe and brings all of its unique elements into greater harmony.  Explore how deepening into your own allurements can bring you into greater synergy with others aligning with the dynamics of the universe.

Love and discernment reflect each other.  In a deeptime context we’ll use the deeptime principles for helping us to discern a way forward.

Allurement is a fundamental dynamic of the Cosmos.

— Jennifer Morgan

 



Love & discernment reflect each other inside Deeptime

We’ll use the deeptime principles for helping us to discern a way forward:

        • Context:  Orient to the whole, a vast evolving universe
        • Matrix:  Understand out embeddedness in Earth
        • Interiority:  Experience inner growth and engagement inside the whole
        • Action:  Participating in evolution to create a vibrant world
        • Continuum:  Continue deeptime learning across all stages of life
