  • 7:00 PM UK Time (London)
    In this weekly reading and action group, we will practice maintaining a sense of Self-experience as being that of Christ – consciousness in unity with each other. This being assisted by holding each other in love, understanding, acceptance, compassion, care, and forgiveness. We will start with a 15 min meditation and share weekly successes of transcending the default to operate out of ego functioning. This being where we have felt the lack of experiencing our self as love in the moment and then have found a way through presence, understanding, acceptance, compassion, care, forgiveness, etc. to express our Self from love regardless.
