Heartbeet Conference #20: Know Yourself and Change the World

Event dates: 05/26/2012 to 05/27/2012

Heartbeet Lifesharing community has been hosting these twice-yearly youth conferences for ten years this May. These conference serve as opportunities for participants to deepen their experience of community and spiritual scientific research and are a joy to engage in.

Continuing on with the theme of inner development, we will explore how to find the courage to begin (with Joan of Arc for inspiration), connections between inner work and social justice and transformation, karma and reincarnation, the new clairvoyance,  urgent and weigh heavy on the hearts of many. Through talks, workshops, conversation, laughter, delicious meals and the healing beauty of Heartbeet, we hope to offer some guiding thoughts and relevant experiences to strengthen and inspire.

Folks at Heartbeet are working crazy hard to build another (4th!) community home.

As part of the conference weekend we will also help dedicate the new building and celebrate the festival of Whitsun.

Please mark your calendars! We will be sending out registration and full agenda information shortly.
