\u201cConscious Living\u201d<\/strong> is a weekly experiential program that bridges the study of consciousness with the practical realities of everyday life. Rooted in frameworks of the Map of Consciousness developed by David R. Hawkins, and \u201cA Course in Miracles\u201d (ACIM),  this program invites participants to move beyond theory into lived, embodied awareness. Together, we explore what it means to live \u201cin the world, but not of it\u201d<\/em> \u2014 grounded, present, and engaged, while rooted in higher awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Map of Consciousness, developed by Dr. Hawkins, serves as our reference point. Each meeting focuses on a specific state of consciousness, blending study and practice so participants not only understand these states intellectually, but truly learn to embody and live them in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Map of Consciousness, A Course in Miracles<\/em> (ACIM) provides a complementary framework for the program. ACIM offers practical spiritual principles for transforming perception, cultivating forgiveness, and recognizing the inner guidance of love and truth. Its teachings emphasize the shift from fear to love, the release of judgment, and the practice of conscious choice in every moment. Within the Conscious Living<\/em> program, ACIM serves as a guide to integrate these principles into daily life, supporting participants in embodying higher awareness while navigating the challenges and opportunities of ordinary experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our gatherings are grounded in the states of Love, Joy, and Gratitude-  <\/strong>corresponding to the elevated energy field of 540 on the Map of Consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this frequency of openness and lightness, we come together to uplift, inspire, and grow in awareness \u2014 individually and collectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
