“Out beyond the ideas of right thinking and wrong thinking, there is a Field. When the soul lies down in that Field, words are unnecessary, even the idea “each other” does not exist. I will meet you there.” ~ Rumi
Meet us in this Field of pure awareness, the vast and spacious Love of the Universe. As we make an intention to have a quiet heart and a clear eye we naturally expand and open to That Love and Light that is always there. We entrain our hearts to each other and discover anew the ancient yet imminent Presence in which we all abide and exist, seemingly separate but essentially One.
We offer a direct experience through this RENDEZVOUS WITH LOVE
Through a total immersion meditation experience, we return to this Field that Rumi pointed to. Set your intention to join us. Commit to the Love that you are. Practice being what you are and seeing with the eyes of love.
“Love sees only love, and only love sees love.” ~ Ernest Holmes
Please rendezvous with us as we return to the Source of our Being and the Heart of Love.

“The Circle of Love Gathering is a joyous and warm experience of friends, consciousness, music, depth, connection and freedom. There is something special and a bit hard to define that is completely nourishing to the soul.”
“Save this time to retreat, allowing all the walls and all the doing to cease. This time is designed for you simply to reveal what is already within, so you may deeply experience and recognize your True Essential Self: The Self that knows no walls and is free. This True Self arises and shines when we take the time to nurture, cultivate and celebrate it! When you return home, you naturally share the heart that has been awakened!”
“I have never been to an event that has changed me so intensely for the good. The combination of professional, spiritual music, speakers, workshops and mandala art was powerful. I left on such a spiritual high that I knew I would come back again and again. I woke up singing many of the songs I heard for months. I made friends from all over. Don’t miss this opportunity to awaken your heart and deepen the love in your soul.
