Awareness-Based Meditation with Elliott S. Dacher, M.D.

Two Rivers Unitarian Universalist Service
Sunday, February 8, 10 am
Calaway Room, Third Street Center, 520 S. Third Street, Carbondale

Join the TRUU community for an experience of meditation with guest speaker, Dr. Elliott Dacher.

“What if I told you a hardy resilience was already and always available to you? You may then ask, ‘How do I access this?’ Let me explain. There are two distinct forms of resilience – psychological and spiritual. These correspond to the two aims of meditation. The first is fostering a healthy human life, psychological resilience. The second is leaping beyond to a larger fully conscious life, spiritual resilience.” – Elliott Dacher

This program will focus on the second aim of meditation – spiritual realization and the revelation of our innate and unchanging resilience. This requires an awareness-based meditation practice – a traditional approach that is simple, direct, effortless, and yet profound. The great sages say – “how amazing we cannot see what is right there, right now, full and complete.” Join me for this discussion and practice that points us towards a true and stable resilience.

Elliott S. Dacher, M.D. practiced internal medicine for 20 years before redirecting his focus to the inner dimensions of health and healing. He embarked on a second medical education, studying the philosophies and practices of Eastern healing under the guidance of wise elders in Asia. Dr. Dacher teaches a profound yet effortless non-dual meditation practice. He is the author of five books, including Aware, Awake, Alive and Meditation and Beyond.

All are welcome—especially you (and your friends, and their kids!).

Music: Micha Schoepe & Paul Dankers
