Intimate Embrace

Our practice
is about tending
to the naked flesh
of immediate experience.

It's about feeling.

It's about relatedness; 
a direct approach
to touch the heart
of our humanity
and uncover
the jewel of self-existing dignity.

The practice is open
to all who dare
to welcome
the totality of their own situation.

It calls to those who feel
an inner yearning,
to those who have heard
the silent roar
of their own spirit
and can no longer postpone
its attendance. 

There are no prerequisites.
No secret teachings.
No levels of attainment.
No certificates.

The door is wide open.

Each of us starts
precisely where we are
with self-honesty
and willingness
to feel our immediate condition.

Within the circumstances of our everyday life,
we discover direct access
to innate wisdom.

We come to understand
the suchness of things
as-they-are
and uncover a hidden sanctuary
of enjoyment and aliveness 
ever-present
and always accessible.
