The great mystical teachers throughout time — in all spiritual traditions (and none) — give us clues about how to reclaim the holiness of our own lives. Once we dare to say a full-bodied YES to the beauty and wonder present in even our most challenging experiences, we are on our way to being “everyday mystics.” — Mirabai Starr
Do you believe that spiritual love is always the answer?
We find ourselves living among challenges like environmental concerns, armed conflicts, food shortages, financial uncertainties, political division, and more.
You may also be facing your own personal challenges that are just as daunting — and that bring with them a sense of hopelessness, loss, or grief — and the unsettling realization that no one is coming to your rescue.
Can the spiritual awareness you’ve so worked hard to attain keep you centered and grounded in the midst of personal and global chaos?
Maybe you were taught that the way of the mystic is a journey, a path to be taken... a state of being we hope to one day achieve for ourselves. The problem with that description is its suggestion that the answers you seek are someplace else, and available to you only when you become something more than who you already are.
Interspiritual teacher and author Mirabai Starr, translator of the mystics, presents a refreshingly subversive and tenderly empowering perspective on what it means to be a mystic in today’s world.
During this free online event, she’ll reframe conventional ideas on mysticism, guiding you to surrender the outmoded belief of yourself as flawed or imperfect. She’ll guide you to use your daily life — including its challenges, concerns, and uncertainties — as a portal for deeper aliveness and a more intimate connection with the sacred.
Mirabai dismisses the commonly accepted notion that enlightenment requires a lifetime of effort, and affirms that a direct experience of mystical connection is possible.
She teaches that life is about fully embracing the human experience exactly as it is and precisely as you are, but with a new and deeper understanding.
You’re here to celebrate your divine, beautiful incarnation. Seeing yourself as unworthy of the peace, joy, and harmony that flows from enlightenment is exactly why the peace that surpasses all understanding remains beyond your reach.
Mirabai will help you release the limiting beliefs that may be hindering you from accepting your true spiritual awakening, and the burden of self-judgment — right now.
By the end of this hour, you may start to see yourself as an everyday mystic, fully embodying your humanity and your holiness.
