THE ETERNAL NOW
It’s a common misconception — that five minutes of morning meditation counts as ‘practicing the presence.’ Goldsmith is far more demanding and far more freeing than that: presence is available continuously, in rhythm, not as an occasional appointment.
I OF MYSELF AM NOTHING: THE EMPTY VESSEL
Join us for the story of author Joel Goldsmith’s own realization — that the ordinary, effortful self was never the source of any good in his life. Come explore the most countercultural idea in the whole book: real power is never personal.
SHIFT FROM SEEKING TO BEHOLDING
How much of our praying is actually asking for things to change, rather than asking to see differently? Join us to discover the reversal at the heart of Goldsmith’s teaching — that harmonious living is not produced by managing circumstances, but develops as a natural byproduct of spiritual consciousness.
GRATITUDE & RELEASE
We close September the way every affirmative prayer closes: in thanksgiving for what has already been realized, and in release — trusting the Law to receive our word and act on it. This week, we bring the month’s whole practice full circle.
REALIZATION: I AFFIRM THIS TO BE SO
Having recognized the One Presence and remembered our unity with it, prayer now asks something bold of us: to speak, in the present tense, the very quality we are calling forth — not as a wish for tomorrow, but as a truth for today. This week, we practice the art of affirmative, declarative language.
UNIFICATION: I AM ONE WITH GOD
Recognition tells us God is all there is. Unification takes the next, more personal step: knowing we are not outside that Presence, but living expressions of it. This week, we move from believing in a distant God to living from a felt oneness.
RECOGNITION: GOD IS ALL THERE IS
We spend so much energy looking for God, for good, for answers — as though they were somewhere else. This week we open our exploration of “Opening the Channel” through affirmative prayer with its foundational step: Recognition. Join us as we stop searching and start recognizing the One Presence that has never been absent.
BUILDING AN OPEN & COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT
What does it mean to stay open in a time of intensity? This week we bring the month’s themes together, exploring how cultivating vulnerability and collaboration can lead to greater strength and connection. How can we stay open to others while navigating fear and conflict?
INTERFAITH CONVERSATION
Anger often gets a bad rap — but what if it holds a sacred spark? This week we reclaim anger not as something shameful but as a signal worth following into collective action. How can we transform our anger into compassionate action for collective good?
