Practice Makes Perfect

To become an expert, whether a doctor, a pianist, a physicist, takes a lot of time, a lot of practice.  However you, the being, can never become perfect through practise, because you are already perfect. Perhaps whole and complete would resonate more with most people than perfection.  In reality though, our journeys, individual and collective, have brought us a long way from this truth.  So just like a ballerina needs to practise each and every step in order to create the wholeness of the dance, what do we need to practise in order to return to the wholeness of who we are?

 

Using her own study and practice, both professional and spiritual, our speaker this evening will discuss the pay-offs of practice and what we might need to do on a subtle and practical level to find our way home to ourselves.
