OLD Blog EXPIRED

Welcome Yogi! After a break of many years, w e're reviving the Sanctuary Blog to share some of Steve's satsangs from the Sadhana Sessions ~ with deep gratitude to Ross for lovingly and attentively typing up Steve's words and sharing them right here. Let's begin with... The Confession "I have something that I have compiled over some time, I call them my confessions. I have a whole list of them, maybe one day I’ll get around to sharing them. They are good tools. They are also good fun because for me they are humbling and they remind me of some deep truths. One that I normally put at the top of the list of these confessions is “I confess I don't know anything” and I really try to mean it because it’s true. Nothing. You can’t know anything.

Your inherent goodness, is as common as the grass... (Tao Te Ching part 6 ~ 2017) ~ transcribed & presented by Adele Capturing the essence of the Living Wisdom sessions could potentially take me days sometimes. You yogis bring sooo much to each session I could probably write 10 blog posts just from one night! My notes always starts off so neat, and then towards the end they are scribbles, as there is so much to capture. It’s so good. Thank you. I hope I manage to do it all justice, squishing it all together in cohesive summary to the best of my ability! Last week we took away chapter 22 to work with on our own….What did we make of it? The first part: If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked. If you want to become full, let yourself be empty. If you want to be reborn, let yourself die. If you want to be given everything, give everything up. Did it give us some pe...
