SUMMARY:A Marketing & Manifesting Workshop for the Soulful Entrepreneur
DESCRIPTION:Get a taste of what it’s like to market and manifest with nothing but the essence that is you.\n\n\n\n\nThis is for the soulpreneurs out there who hate how marketing and manifesting has been taught. \n(I’m in the same boat with you.) \nWhy do we hate it? \nBecause it pulls us away from ourselves… \nThat marketing expert who makes you post 5 times on that platform\, talk about yourself in a way that doesn’t feel truthful\, or gives you a bunch of bro marketing tactics in order to make a buck? \nThat manifesting leader who recites scripture assuming you believe in the same God\, asks you to throw cinnamon out your front door\, or has you tricking yourself into believing you’re making sales by setting 50 alarms and notifications on your phone? \nThis is why. Because we’re overcomplicating the hell out of this. \nAll of this only brings us further away from ourselves. \nWhen all we really need to do is come back to ourselves\, to remember who we are\, to tap into our essence. \nThis is what makes you magnetic. \nI’m all about your essence\, and I’ve got a knack for pulling it out of you. \nMy kind of marketing is centered around the truth of your heart as it relates to the strength of your work. There’s something you have achieved for yourself that you now help others achieve through your work. This is the actual transformation you provide. This is what you sell\, because you are the walking representation of your own transformation. \nMy kind of manifesting is centered around you shedding all of the shit that isn’t you – all of those limiting beliefs\, outdated patterns and old programming. We unravel and unlearn all of this so that you can attune to your unique frequency\, your universal signal – your essence\, which is also your higher self. This is what you attract\, because you attract who you are\, not what you want. \nThis is an opportunity to get a taste of the methods that bring you back to yourself\, to your truth to your essence. \nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:Sunday Sangha
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Sangha led by Meditation Program Director\, Nancy Floy\n10:00am – 12:00pm (via Zoom until early May 2026) \nNancy will lead us in a few simple Buddhist chants and a guided meditation. Following meditation\, we will return to our new text\, Interbeing: Fourteen Guidelines for Engaged Buddhism by Thich Nhat Hanh. “Socially-engaged Buddhism” has become something of a buzzword in among many sanghas\, but what exactly does it mean? More importantly\, how do we practice it? Thich Nhat Hanh\, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk\, created these practices to help people develop the insight of the interconnected nature of reality and the human experience\, which could then lead to a collective awakening. \nContact Larry Akey\, (Lakey0752@gmail.com) for key code to enter building or further information.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Sangha: Why We Meditate
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, 5:30pm to 7pm. \n\n\n\n\nHeartwood’s sanghas are increasingly body-centered\, deeply curious about delving into a variety of meditative approaches while still honoring Siddhartha Gautama’s radical notion of sitting quietly until he understood suffering — and how to break free from it. Each session will open with a guided meditation\, progress to an exploration of new approaches and techniques\, dive into group practice exploring those techniques\, and end with discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will spend the next several months studying the practices in Why We Meditate by Tsoknyi Rinpoche and Daniel Goleman. They offer a somewhat nontraditional\, body-centered approach to calm abiding and insight meditation. Whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner looking to freshen up your practice\, we think you will find their approach helpful. You may find it useful to acquire a copy of their text for your own personal practice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nWhile drop-ins are always welcome\, the Sangha encourages repeat visits and the keeping of a journal to track your meditation pathway. Heartwood Sangha’s Nancy Floy and Larry Akey will guide the class\, with sangha members and guest practitioners encouraged to provide new perspectives and practices. \nNo charge; donations gratefully accepted. Please contact Larry for more information at (202)580-9313.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Sangha: Why We Meditate
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, 5:30pm to 7pm. \n\n\n\n\nHeartwood’s sanghas are increasingly body-centered\, deeply curious about delving into a variety of meditative approaches while still honoring Siddhartha Gautama’s radical notion of sitting quietly until he understood suffering — and how to break free from it. Each session will open with a guided meditation\, progress to an exploration of new approaches and techniques\, dive into group practice exploring those techniques\, and end with discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe will spend the next several months studying the practices in Why We Meditate by Tsoknyi Rinpoche and Daniel Goleman. They offer a somewhat nontraditional\, body-centered approach to calm abiding and insight meditation. Whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner looking to freshen up your practice\, we think you will find their approach helpful. You may find it useful to acquire a copy of their text for your own personal practice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nWhile drop-ins are always welcome\, the Sangha encourages repeat visits and the keeping of a journal to track your meditation pathway. Heartwood Sangha’s Nancy Floy and Larry Akey will guide the class\, with sangha members and guest practitioners encouraged to provide new perspectives and practices. \nNo charge; donations gratefully accepted. Please contact Larry for more information at (202)580-9313.
