Dear friends, My Spirituality & Healing group and community will open for a new quarterly membership, beginning May 1.You can learn more about the group here:>>Learn more about Matt’s Spirituality & Healing group – May 1 quarterly enrollment I’m sure it’s no surprise to any of you that we’re living in unprecedented times. It can feel as if the center is lost and that things are going way too fast, where the ground is slipping away underneath us.It’s as if there were a slow drip of cortisol and adrenaline emerging out of the collective and falling into our shaky, tender bodies, hearts, and nervous systems. The high levels of arousal on the planet right now will inevitably take up residence in psyche and soma, and it can burn and ache, as we long for connection, safety, and ground.As difficult and challenging as these times can be, they also offer a unique opportunity to (re)commit to our healing and spiritual paths.It’s not easy to navigate on our own, and many of us these days feel so alone.As open, sensitive human beings, we’re wired to tend to the wounds of the heart and turn toward the mystery of Being within a supportive and dynamic relational field, with the help of kind-hearted companions and fellow travelers.To be together in an empathic, non-judgmental, open, warm circle of friends.As a way to respond to this deep longing and to the unique liminal times we find ourselves in, I wanted to find a way to open my Spirituality & Healing community so that more of you could participate – with a lesser commitment, of both time and financial resources, in this period of uncertainty.During our time together, we’ll explore the mysteries of a contemporary path of spiritual discovery, individuation, and personal healing, where together we’ll enter into the aliveness of the relational field itself, a mandala of healing presence in which we can not only transform the wounds of the heart, but open into the direct experience of communion, union, and unity with the Ultimate Mystery itself.Together, we’ll explore an embodied, grounded, and emotionally-attuned path of the heart that weaves together the wisdom of the psychotherapeutic and meditative traditions, in a way that’s experiential and interactive, an approach to spiritual unfolding that is sensitive to trauma and relational wounding.***SPECIAL QUARTERLY OPENING – historically, the community has opened only once each year, in February, requiring a yearlong commitment. Due to the uncertainty in our world and the fast-changing transitional times we’re living in, I wanted to make it easier to come into the group for those who are interested.Between May 1, 2025 and through July 31, 2025, we’ll meet live 9 times, on (most) Thursdays, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. U.S. Pacific Time (5pm in London).It’s not necessary for you to attend sessions live. You can participate fully in the group and community – and most importantly, in the healing relational field itself – through watching the session videos and engaging the meditations in whatever way feels most natural and resonant for you, at a time that is convenient and fits into your life.There will also be an optional Facebook group so that you may be in further connection with others around the world who are part of the community.Each session will include meditation and other experiential exercises, teachings, and live interaction, where you can share your experience, ask questions, and dialogue with me (via video or text). During the sessions, we’ll also be able to support and hold one another as we, too, are being held and contained within the field and the mystery of Being.I look forward to seeing you inside the community soon and making this journey together. And in this way, we can each prioritize, recommit to, and revision our commitment to our healing and spiritual paths.
