Attentive Listening: Awakening Intuitive Power

We are, as Sri Aurobindo indicated, the “Transition People.” We are to become the New Human, a new kind of human. Within us are the latent powers that need to be activated if we are to assume this remarkable work in the evolutionary process. Awakening and deepening our intuitive power is essential.

We will focus on three aspects of this theme:

• Understanding the power of intuition

• Developing the art of this power

• Discovering the increased creativity, wisdom, and freedom in individuals and groups who awaken this intuitive power

This time together will be a weaving of reflecting, interiorizing, and sharing.
