OPEN Spirituality Group

Theme/Topic Session

Facilitator: DanielEndy

Date: Sunday, May 26, 2024

Time: 1:00 pm EDT

Language: English

Topics: Learning From Spiritual Experiences, NDE, Open Discussion, Open Spirituality, Spiritual Experiences, STE, Trusting Spiritual Guidance

This is a safe space for respectful open discussion of whatever Spirituality means to you. Open Spirituality has zero dogma or doctrine. It’s about a personal relationship with the Divine with zero requirements other than your intent to connect with like-minded people for stimulating conversation. Open Spirituality is a “non-religion.” It’s a place to share spiritual experiences and beliefs without a religious context. Religious contexts like churches, synagogues, mosques, and such are often the only place where people feel comfortable discussing spiritual concepts, but those places often feel artificially constrained once one has had an NDE or an STE. This group is for people who consider themselves spiritual but who may not be comfortable with traditional religions and religious beliefs and practices.
