Effort, Love and Ease with Jeff Carreira

“To put it simply, I support people to live a spiritually inspired life, free from the constraints of fear, worry and self-doubt, and aligned with their own deepest sense of meaning and purpose.”

Jeff is meeting with us to discuss several interesting topics close to his heart. We’ll start with talking about why spiritual dialogue is important and how we can use it to come closer together and explore our inner world in a new way. Next we’ll discuss the seeming paradox of effort vs. no effort on the spiritual path, and how that relates to the path of love.

Each topic has an attunement video and date scheduled. See the links just above.

Finally we’ll meet personally with Jeff for an evening of conversation together… perhaps we’ll sing him a few songs!

About the Meetings


Just about a hundred years ago Sam Lewis was a young man living in California. It was the nineteen twenties and a time when many remarkable beings from the deep eastern traditions were beng sent to the United States to teach. He managed to meet Hazrat Innayat Khan, a beautiful sufi teacher, and numerous authentic teachers of Buddhism.

There were a lot of charlatans too, at the time, but Sam had a knack of being drawn to the true mystics. He also had a knack of falling in tune with these mystics, deeply in love, and being transformed. The transformation was not just from their teaching but from being in their living presence.

Sam Lewis brought this inspiration into fruition by creating the Dances of Universal Peace.

One of the remarkable things about meeting with a live teacher is the ability to ask questions. It’s not so much the actual question as the experience of putting your question together and asking it live that can open us from our preconceived beliefs. That is always a remarkable moment.

Times have changed and the generation that inspired Sam Lewis has passed beyond, but we still have many remarkable beings available to us in our world today. They don’t look the same. They are often not dressed in robes or reading from ancient texts. They are accessible because they understand our lives today, and who we are. I seem to have a knack of running across them as well. So I thought I’d put together a Zikr series that will introduce us to various remarkable beings, who are alive and working today, from numerous different traditions.

We are using Zoom to meet as many of them as possible with song, dance and conversation.

#2 Non Duality and Harmony with Eric Putkonen

Non DualityCease DoingQ&A

Schedule. As we head into a busy summer I’m striving to schedule our zoom meetings around holidays, camps, and the varied locations and schedules of our dancers, so I’m doing some of our zooms in the evenings during the week, and one on the weekend. They will all also be available here online in the hopes that everyone can participate.

I’ve posted Eric’s attunements to the dance pages already so you can get a sense of his lighthearted nature and start thinking about how this enhances our lives.

As this format evolves we will change how we do things. Knowing me… that will probably happen each time. This time we’ll add in more interaction. We want to see everyone, connect and chat more! So our dance sessions will be a mixture of song and dance, chatting and contemplation.

Dates:

  • Non Duality was Wednesday, July 6, 2022, 7PM Mountain Daylight Time
  • Ceasing to Do was Saturday morning July 16, 2022, 10am MDT
  • Q&A with Eric:
    • Tuesday Evening July 19, 2022, 6:00pm MDT

#1: Meetings With Vishrant

RememberMaturityQ&A
May 2022

I had the amazing luck of connecting with a fellow sannyasin and enlightenment teacher in Australia. And he agreed to meet with us to kick off the Remarkable Beings sessions! Our first meeting was with Vishrant from the Vishrant Buddhist Society. He lives and teaches in Perth Australia, and agreed to meet with us for short Zikr Attunements and then for a session of answering questions. We discussed things from why we dance, how to have effective practice, and the value of maturity.
