Connecting with Reality

How do we see what is truly going on in the world. And what is our authentic reaction to that?

The talks are given by Nicholas Vesey.

Nicholas has been the minister at the Aspen Chapel since 2014, having come to Colorado from England.
He is the Author of 2 books:
“Developing Consciousness – A Roadmap of the Journey to Enlightenment” published by ‘O Books’ in 2011, and “Living the Life-Force” published by Ozark Mountain Publishing in 2019.

Nicholas has been committed to a path of personal transformation for 40 years; exploring the relationship between consciousness and spirituality through all the great wisdom traditions.

Although he is ordained as an Anglican Priest, he uses the Tao Te Ching, The Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, The Dhammapada, and The Koran among many other sacred texts to help him on his path.

1. Connecting with reality
What is our response to what is going on in the world at the moment?

2. Dealing with that which is right in front of us.
With everything swirling around us in our lives, how do we focus on what is really important?

3. Showing up
For things to happen, we have to show up. What stops us?

4. Ensuring our Future
How are we faithful to our ancestors and supportive of our descendants?

5. Death and Re-birth
We shun death, and yet it is a part of life. How can we accept all the mini-deaths we experience in our lives, as well as the great one at the end of it, and see the green shoots of rebirth that come after.
