Once each month, usually on the first Saturday of the month, the Community for Spiritual Living ("CSL") gathers in Falls Church to explore, through an experiential adventure, how to more fully integrate our spiritual lives with the entirety of our lives. DRUMMING CIRCLE ALL ARE WELCOME We'll begin with some light yoga and meditation and then begin 45 minutes to an hour of drumming. Don't know how to drum? -- just join in with a tambourine or some maraccas. Nothing fancy, just a good time letting yourself groove to the beat with community. Trance dancing is also welcome! Bring a drum or drums, or any percussive instrument you like. If you have extras, please bring them so we'll have some for everyone. Bring a friend if you like, and then stay for POTLUCK FROM 6 TO 8PM-be sure to BRING A DISH FOR 8 PEOPLE (main dish, salad, side dish, bread & beverage, or dessert).

WE ARE MEETING, NOTWITHSTANDING THE WEATHER!
It's not as bad as you may think! See you there!

William James said "Genius means little more than the faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way." The converse of that might be to say that creativity is stifled by our tendencies to routinize our thinking into cognitive ruts. One of most comprehensive ways in which the ruts of modern thought have been explosed and disrupted is Integral Theory. First elucidated by Jean Gebser and more fully fleshed-out by many others, including Ken Wilber, Integral Theory weaves together a tapestry of eastern and western developmental psychology, a radical understanding of taking multiple perspectives, the emergent wisdom of multiple intelligences, a revolutionary view of ordinary and nonordinary states, and an appreciation of the various typologies found in tantra, eneagrams, Myers-Briggs, and the like. The resultant rich tapestry leaves those who understand its basic principals with a drastically expanded canvas on which to paint our lives, our work, our world.
