"Why Postpone Your Enlightenment?"

September 11 - 13, 2026

"Most people imagine enlightenment to be difficult, far away, and only for a select few. It is difficult to realize only because it is so simple, so near, and already complete as our essential nature. How then do we recognize what we already are? It is not a matter of adopting some belief system nor committing ourselves to a lifetime of striving. But it does require self-honesty, openness and humility. And a certain amount of courage. Why wait to discover your birthright?"

Topic: "Is Everything Impermanent?"

August 18, 2026

"Everything we can see, taste, touch, hear, think or feel is always in a state of flux, always changing. Every living being comes with an expiration date. We might ask, "In a world where nothing is permanent, where can our true identity be found?" Is there anything that abides?"

"Claim Your Inheritance"

October 16 - 18, 2026

"If a long-lost aunt gave you a million dollars in her will, but you didn't know of her gift, it wouldn't do you much good. Your True Nature is like that. The gift has already been given, but we may not be aware of it. It is good news indeed that we don't have to earn the gift or be worthy of the gift. We only need to recognize the gift. The tricky part is that it is hard to recognize something when we are looking in the wrong direction. This weekend will be devoted to pointing as directly as possible to your already existing inheritance."
