Forming
Golden Heart
Oregon,
United States
 Golden Heart is in looking for people to come together in western Oregon to co create the new dream of wholeness and connectedness in community. Creating community is hard work, yet in the words of Thich Nhat Hanh: "The most noble task is to build community". Together we can create community that lives from the awareness that unconditional Love and compassion as keys to our spiritual becoming. Knowing that living from the Heart is essential. Our Hearts being the place of balance between our inner worlds (Heaven) and our daily experiences on Mother Earth.
I am looking for people who want to live in a community where we truly love and honor one another from the heart. Unconditional love awakens our true nature and wholeness as spiritual beings living a spiritual experience.
This requires we live in naked honesty with each other, beyond ego and personal agenda with a willingness to live in total trust, truthfulness, creativity, and playfulness with one’s self and one another. Together creating a sacred ground to release our fears, attachments, and social masks. To be see each other truly and be seen. To listen deeply to each other. To do this we understand that the whole of the community is greater than the sum of it’s members. We are all of equal value to each other and the community. Thus, we must balance our personal needs with the needs of the community.
Life is a spiritual experience and is sacred. A journey of unfolding consciousness where change and adaptability is the initiatory process of life. We are all dancers in the consciousness of all that is, seeking to understand and embrace life’s paradoxes, our own paradoxes and those who dance along with us in this journey; Lovers, partners, friends, community. Golden Heart is a community of people living from the Heart grounded in the Earth, embraced by Spirit, and each other.
In embracing change, we must be willing to let go of the past, seek to live in the present moment. When we do this we live in the wholeness of life without confining it to teachings, religions, or philosophies. Life is inclusive of all of these as ways of knowing and understanding. These are all good and have served humanity. But now is the time open to deeper levels of awareness then we presently understand. Non attachment is the art of being that allows us to be true to our own path while honoring all others. It is through our own personal experiences that knowledge becomes wisdom. We are all unique and have something to give and to learn from each other. Let us let go of the negative prophecies of the past and vision a new dream. Let us not hold them in our collective imagination but release the energy and create a future that serves all life. It all begins in our hearts.
Golden Heart is about celebrating life via song, dance, ritual, initiation, drumming and whatever we choose to do together in this playful journey of life. Daily morning and evening meditations to bring us together in the Heart. Playing with Qigong, Yoga and other means to keep our bodies strong
Golden Heart is focused on living simply and sustainably. Having minimal impact on Mother Earth by building as few as possible Earth friendly off grid structures. One community building and very small Hobbit houses(300-600sgft). Permaculture and organic gardening of our food and tonic herbs.
If you resonate with Golden Heart’s vision and want to dream it into being with me, then contact me. It would be wonderful if you own land for the community. When contacting me, please tell me about yourself, your life and what role you see yourself within the community.
Blessings,
Richasu
