“ENLIGHTENED RELATIONSHIPS:
the way of peace on earth”
6-Week Online Program (a virtual gathering) with Amoda Maa and Kavi
Whether you are currently in a relationship and wish to deepen into love, or you are happily (or unhappily) single and wish to know yourself more deeply, this is an invitation to the discovery of love as your true nature and the birth of enlightened relationships as the foundation of peace on earth.
Over 6 weeks, Amoda and Kavi will explore some unique pointers to the sacred ground in which true love can flower.
This online course does not provide therapy or practices to fix relationship, nor is it about attracting your soul mate. Rather, it is about transforming our relationship to all beings — whether it be our lover, our friend, our family, our neighbor, or a passing stranger. Ultimately, it is about the relationship to ourselves and how this emanates into the world.
Amoda and Kavi have been in an intimate relationship for the past 18 years, embracing the grit and grace of the human journey in the tenderness of the heart. Their life together has been an ever-deepening embodied realization of emptiness dancing through duality.
Each 120 minute (2-hour) session will include a discourse about the theme for the week, followed by Q&As.
We will be using use the Zoom video conferencing program, which is free to download and very easy to use. All you need to participate is a computer (or device) with a built-in speaker, microphone, and camera, and access to the internet.
If you cannot join live, a video recording of each week will be made available.
Topics —
The Power of Relationship to Change Everything (Week 1)
It seems that enlightened relationships are a luxury, but contemplate the fact that the fundamental nature of living in the world is relationship. Whatever our age, gender, culture, or circumstances, we are actually in relationship at all times … not only to each other, but also to ourselves and to every aspect of our lives.
In Week 1, we will examine:
How identification with the egoic knot of “me” is at the root of all relationship problems.
How the shift out of “me” identity into knowing our true nature as wholeness creates a new level of intimacy with all things.
How war and peace in the world begins with our state of consciousness.
“Special” Relationship vs. “Holy Relationship” (Week 2)
The idea of a “special” relationship — one that will fulfill all our dreams and all our needs — needs to be unpacked if we are to truly relate beyond the “separate self” that sees relationship as a means to an end.
In Week 2, we will explore:
How looking for completeness from another perpetuates the ego’s “seeking mechanism” and the pendulum swing of “falling in love” and “falling out of love”.
Becoming aware of the strategies of “need” and “control” and the roles we identify with that keep us locked into co-dependency.
How a “holy” relationship radically differs from a “special” relationship — the end of the romantic dream and the beginning of a new world.
Relationship as a Doorway to Awakening (Week 3)
Far from being a distraction on the spiritual path, relationships are a potent invitation to awaken to our true nature as wholeness.
In Week 3, we will explore:
How going beyond “self-righteousness” and allowing ourselves to be undefended unravels the tight knot of ego-identity.
Emotional trigger-points as a doorway to the unconditional heart and the end of “victim-identity”.
Going beyond comfort and security as the primary drivers and allowing relationship to be a catalyst for personal and spiritual evolution.
Meeting Each Other in the Unknown (Week 4)
True relating takes place when we make the commitment to meet each other in the open field of unknown-ness. Every relationship is unique and there is no “one-size fits all” set of rules on how to have a “perfect relationship”. But there is the availability of a deeper commitment that allows relationship to fulfill its true purpose.
In Week 4, we will explore:
The art of listening from inner silence — the keys of presence and openness.
Allowing ourselves to be “naked” by telling the truth.
Meeting each other without agenda, and surfing the waves with curiosity and a lightness of being.
The Love Affair with the Beloved (Week 5)
The true love affair is with the Beloved — that which rests deep within everything we experience. By making this our primary relationship, we can go beyond the love that comes and goes to a love that is ever-present in our own hearts.
In Week 5, we will explore:.
What does it mean to make the love affair with the Beloved your primary relationship?
The difference between loneliness and aloneness.
Meeting the existential abyss and dying into the silence of being.
The True Nature of Love (Week 6)
Love is not what we “think” it is — it is not conceptual, and neither is it emotional. It is, in fact, not dependent on an object and it is not limited by time. And yet, it can be embodied as a living energy field through relationship.
In this final Week 6, we will explore:.
The “inner marriage” and the birth of the “third body”.
The transmutation of sexual desire into creative energy.
Knowing your self as love.
