Monthly Dharma Gathering
2015-08-05 19:00 - 20:30
On the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00p.m. EDT, the entire Open Heart Project community gathers together to hear a talk from a special guest teacher, sit meditation together, and share questions, stories, and experiences. Each talk will focus on applying the dharma to real life. This 75-90 minute gathering is free and open to all. Just click this link at that time. This event is free to everyone!

This month’s guest is speaker, Bill Scheffel who will share his Introduction to the Principle of Drala. Since 2004, Bill Scheffel has been able to devote much of his time to being an artist/traveler; primarily a writer of essays, travel writing, poetry and memoir, but also as a videographer, documentary filmmaker and photographer. Travel has also been a time of practice and retreat: devoting time to meditation and other disciplines, then immersing himself in the daily life around him in countries including Cambodia, Turkey and France.

Between 1993 and 2004 Bill taught his creative writing workshop, Chance, Synchronicity and Mind-writing, in Boulder, Colorado and in many cities throughout the U.S. He has taught meditation since 1977, including for twenty-nine years though Shambhala Training and thirteen years, beginning in 1991, at Naropa University, where Bill also taught classes in poetry and creative non-fiction. During the 1980s, he worked variously as a computer consultant, technical writer and accountant.
Bill grew up in South Lake Tahoe, California, a resort town bordered by gambling casinos and built on the shores of one of the bluest, largest, purest, and deepest bodies of fresh water in the world.

Camp Good Life Project
2015-08-27 - 2015-08-30
The Good Life Project and Jonathan Fields bring you:
Summer Camp for Makers, Entrepreneurs and World Shakers!

Join in on a 3 ½ mind-bending day long event that will change everything. The ultimate blend of deep-learning, epic stories, friends-for-life, juicy adventures and ideas, strategies and tools for accelerated personal and business growth! Running from August 27-30th in Rock Hill N.Y., just 90 minutes from NYC, this exciting event will feature Susan Piver as a keynote speaker!

Camp GLP is about connecting, playing, lighting up on a deeper, more meaningful level. One that bypasses the normal superficial yadda yadda yadda and makes a beeline to the soul. Last year, they had everyone from CEOs to musicians who played Wembley Stadium, world-shaking entrepreneurs to soccer moms and local artisans. And you know what, nobody really knew or cared. Because, in the end, we’re all connected by something bigger. We’re human, and we want to be seen, heard, held and supported just for that. Without it being about what we’ve done, accomplished or who we’ve impressed.

Camp GLP is, more than anything else, about finding your people. Letting your guard down and, maybe for the first time in years (maybe ever), just being you. And knowing that’s enough.

A full schedule of the events and workshops can be found here.
