Luminous Mind Presents
A Gathering with Mike Snider
"Nonduality and the Mystery of Being"
Saturday, January 23, 1:00-3:00 p.m.
Love offering
Those who attended Mike's recent OneDharma satsang (or "cutting through the crap" as he prefers to describe his sharing) were moved by his music, humor, clarity of being, and straightforward message of truth of who we are. Delivered in simple, straightforward language, with great humor and compassion, Mike shares the story of his own search for Truth and its ultimate collapse. I was happy to meet him and get a big hug afterwards, and invite him to come talk to our group as well.
Mike Snider hails from Gleason, Tennessee, and is a musician extraordinaire, a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry. He has been asked by Adyashanti to share his knowledge and deep realization of the truth of awakening. Mike's message of nonduality is resonant with the nondual teachings of Buddhism and other religions; in fact, such experience transcends religious barriers altogether.
If you've ever wondered whether nondual realization is possible in this lifetime, or how it plays out in lived experience, his talk will provide inspiration and refreshment. Ample time will be given for questions and answers in a relaxed atmosphere.
Location: the home of Rita Frizzell, 1716A Linden Avenue in the Belmont Hillsboro neighborhood in Nashville. Seating and some cushions provided. Feel free to bring your own.

In the Buddhist tradition, a broken heart is not a problem to be solved, but a remarkable opportunity to discover wisdom. This evening talk will introduce you to the skills needed to work with a broken heart - not to drive it away or tie it up with a bow, but to find the messages contained in this most difficult situation.
Whether your heart was broken yesterday or years ago, all the elements are there to discover your innate spiritual warriorship. As we talk, you will discover that the dark power of heartbreak can introduce you to gentleness, fearlessness, and intelligence. If you stay with your broken heart, it will surely lead you down the path to wisdom.
