Circle of Connection

(Included in The Apprentice & Student Training Tracks)

Relative identification and separation is a manifestation of the mind’s dual functioning. The simplicity of our primal human brain evolved into reliance and dependancy on the complexities of the now modern mind. As our collective minds define the intricacies of function and roles in a highly specialised world, so too has it conflated these into a complexity of separation, identity and realities. The essential function of the relative, dual nature of the various polarities appears to be diverging, and becoming more disconnected, estranged, and competitive.

The heart, on the other-hand, is by nature, non-dual. It does not prejudice, discriminate, separate, define or disconnect. The heart’s function is to unite, to find similarity. It embraces and loves diversity. For the heart, the more difference, oddity, weirdness, the more opportunity it has to expand its love muscle. Absolute in its unconditionality, regardless of opposition, it tends energy toward wholeness and pure connection.

“Nature depends on the merging of polarity for it to regenerate. Polarities, when fused create diversity. Unity and diversity owe their existence to each other. Unity is diversity, and diversity is unity, or: the Absolute is the Relative, and the Relative is the Absolute. The Middle Way of Zen and Daoism: Yin is Yang, Yang is Yin.” – Ekan Nangaku

At BEZA we train community members and group facilitators, equipping them with essential tools to build and maintain the growing need for community connection. To find solutions to our challenges as a collective we gather in our Circle of Connection to recognize and honour our shared humanity and interconnectedness. When trust is cultivated, one’s heart’s wisdom and truthful expression has what is needed to build purposeful alignments and effective collaboration. This, in turn, reinforces trust and fosters much needed resiliency, flexibility and reliability in all relationships.
