Simply Human
Inspiring discussions about living a simply human life!
Life can be complicated. So how can we keep it simple?
​​
With enthusiasm and inspiration, in-the-moment insight, and a good sprinkling of humour, this group explores how we might live a more simply human life, from the grounded reality of our physical bodies, to the pace and clarity of our thinking, and the spiritual connectedness to something bigger than ourselves.
​​
We will meet for five 90-minute sessions in December, starting with a gentle introduction where we'll get excited about what we might create!
​​​​​
After that, it's the four Hs!
​​​​
Session 2 will focus on the idea of being Here, session 3 will explore what it means to be Human, Session 4, I'll share what I call spiritual Hospitality, and in our final session, we will bring it all together and celebrate the idea of Harmony!
​​​​
I'm excited to be offering this course throughout December, a time each year where the pace of life seems to speed up, our thinking can spiral out of control with our lists of shoulds and to dos, and what could a time for gratitude and reflection, often feels overwhelming...
​​​
This group offers a pause from all that! Join me for 2 hours each week, and together we'll create a little sanctuary of peace and calm and insight and laughter and fun!
​​​
So, please, sign up today for inspirational discussions about living a more Simply Human life!
​​
The group will run via Zoom, on five consecutive Mondays in December (2nd to 30th) from 7 to 8.30 pm in the UK. Although listed as 90 minutes, we may run over depending on the flow of the session!! Just saying... :)
Session 1- Introductions!
Our first session! Let's get excited for what we can create together!
A gentle introduction, and a chance to meet each other, exchange stories, if we want to, and start to lay out what we might create in our time together!
I'll talk about spiritual hospitality, benedire and speaking it good, and showing up with open hearts!
Session 2 - Here
What does it mean to be more in the moment, more present, and not so "in your head"?
Here we go! We'll start by bringing ourselves back to the now, this present moment. It's so easy to slip into reliving the past, or making up the future, but you're only ever where you are in the moment, and this is our chance to honour that.
Session 3 - Human
What is it to be human? Can we find balance to honour our human essence?
In the second part we'll explore what it means to be human. What we're interested in here is the whole human experience ~ physical, psychological and spiritual beings living in a world of phenomena. With awareness of the unity of physical and spiritual we can live in the moment with peace of mind.
Session 4 - Hospitality
I think of it as a kind of spiritual hospitality...
But what is it?
What if we could come from a space of offering a hand to others ... regardless of how we are feeling? And offering a hand might simply be a smile, a kind gesture, or speaking it good (benedire). In this session we'll explore spiritual hospitality.
Session 5 - Harmony
Can we make sense of living in harmony with a seemingly chaotic world?
Our final session points us back to "what is" and our potential harmony in life when we live with what is. When we struggle in our minds to change or fix the world with force and pressure, we can forget our true nature - love and well-being. Lead by being who you are in essence ... love, joy, well-being and connection.
Frank Foley and Simply Human!
Simply Human discussion groups are relaxed and fun, and always underpinned with that silent big H ~ Humour!
​
I aim to create a space of both exploration and insight, and also contemplation and listening. Outside the basic structure we work in the moment with conversation, questions, and active listening.
​​
Simply Human is an invitation to explore!
I will draw on our personal experience, and the various teachings and wisdom we have come across in our lives.
And as always, there's the work of Sydney Banks, whose spiritual awakening in the early 1970s lead to the development of the "Three Principles" understanding.​ Whilst Simply Human is not specificlly a "Three Principles" course, the trace of Syd's work is never far away!
