I don't want to mention the link without your permission, but would it be ok for me to add a link to our community, focusing on effortless mindfulness but with a connection to all contemplative traditions (the last time I joined a Christian contemplative prayer group here in Asheville, it turned out I had more experience - since 1981 - in the tradition than anyone else in the group. I was eventually invited to lead a weekly group for the whole East Asheville community (including non Christians) for 3 months. I've led Buddhist, Vedantic, Sufi and other contemplative practices as well.
And Carl, I still remember the wonderful conversation we had here in Asheville at the nearby Apollo Flame restaurant. I'm so delighted you're continuing with this outreach - it's SO much needed in the world today. I just had a wonderful talk this morning with a young (well, young to me - early 30s) pharmacist I met on LinkedIn who is developing both ketamine assisted therapy and immersive technology as an accompaniment to conventional allopathic medicine, who hopes to have non drug, non technological approaches incorporated. I was talking to him about bringing a deeper contemplative mindset to this that reaches into schools, workplaces, municipal government, and well, everywhere!
