Retreats
Attention, Acceptance, Alignment, & Awakening

Date and Time: Sunday, 27 September, 2026

9 a.m. – 12 noon (Pacific Time)
-
Lunch Break
-
1 – 4 p.m. (Pacific Time)
Format: Online meeting — Zoom link will be sent after registration.
Suggested Donation: $90 - $120 (no one turned away for lack of funds)
Event Description:
What we give our attention to, we give reality to. What we accept in the moment of experience is a moment of openness. Alignment is an inner felt-sense of knowing when body-mind-soul-spirit are aligned (or not). Awake Awareness includes attention, acceptance, and alignment—but with NO judgment about how they are manifesting, only the clarity of Seeing and the Love of its own expressions. However, this mystery of our Being, when moving consciously within form, seems to guide its manifestation with both wise discernment and compassionate action. Awakening delivers freedom—freedom to See, to Be, to Love.
Please join us to explore the movement and power of attention, the pull between acceptance and rejection, the feeling of alignment or lack of it, and the view from the perspective of awakening, a view that may be felt or sensed, but never limited or defined.
Chasing the Absolute, Returning to Love the Relative
What: Online half-day retreat with Dorothy Hunt, hosted by Open Circle.
Date and Time: Saturday, October 24, 2026
-
9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)
-
30-minute break in the middle (10:30 a.m. – 11 a.m.)
Format: Online Video Meeting (phone access also available).
Event Description:
Tasting the Absolute, experiencing spirit, reading or hearing teachings from spiritual masters, many seekers of truth develop ideas and illusions that Awakening means judging, denying, or by-passing the challenges, messiness, feelings, thoughts, and beauty of our human expressions. They chase an identity called “the Absolute” or being a “someone” always “resting as Awareness.” There IS a Source, but this awake Mystery claims no identity. The truth of who/what we already are cannot be gained by our effort or lost in our forgetfulness. The real freedom of Awakening is not resisting the moment that is here now, rather deeply experiencing that all of life is an expression of an undivided Mystery—one the intellect will never “know” yet opens the Heart to intimately love its own expressions.
Please join us in exploring the possibility of experiencing no separation between Absolute and Relative—true non-duality.
