Music, Dance, Communication, Discomfort, Resistance, Reaching, The ingredients that perpetuate the belief in separation, Trees, Clouds, Floating Rocks, Embracing, Seeing, being a vessel for Music and Poetry, Acting, Celebrating this moment in infinite ways .. I'm interested in Freedom's capacity to ever open and unfold as the grace of it's Radiant Self.
I'm interested in inviting mind to rest in it's source, I call this invitation Here Talks.
What are Here Talks?
Here Talks are an opportunity to directly encounter one’s self through the doorway of self-awareness and silence. The Intention of Here Talks is to help raise the awareness of who one truly is through self-inquiry and meditation, thus allowing a deeper peace to emerge and be more noticeably available in daily life.
What kinds of people attend Here Talks? ??
Usually those who are tired of their personal stories and of searching for the truth outside of themselves and not coming up with answers. People who are seeking an end to pain and suffering, wanting to enjoy and celebrate life without constant worry, and manipulation. Those seeking the truth of who they really are beyond their concepts about truth or what the truth should look like. People seeking a deeper purpose, true intimacy, healthy relationships, unconditional love and those who have a desire to be the peace they wish to see in the world. Here Talks are for anyone who longs for true freedom and joyous laughter! Those seeking confirmation and support.
Why Come To a Here Talk? ?
?Here Talks serve as a mirror into the deepest part of yourself. The message that every Here Talk shares is that true freedom is always available as the truth of who you are. Ash serves as a friend and support to those who are wishing to meet themselves fully in truth.
The Intention of Here Talks:
??Here Talks help to reveal the root cause of suffering. What is suffering? The constant judge and victim inside of our heads that rewards and punishes everything we feel, think, say, or do. Here Talks are an invitation to finally be where you always are, so then every aspect of “your†life ( body, mind, soul, talents, and authenticity) can be fully available for this moment that animates all form.
A Here Talk with Ash is not:
Listening to guy talk who thinks he’s enlightened, a place to philosophize about truth, an attempt to downplay the difficulties of life, a crutch to re-enforce false beliefs, a master and disciple game, or a space that entertains right and wrong. It’s all love y’all!
