An online practice in mutual presence

Sacred Ground

When we meet, what is always present between us is revealed.

Sacred Ground is a free online gathering space where people meet in shared presence — not to talk about life, but to experience it together.

Several times a week, over Zoom, we drop beneath our separate lives. We don't come to make something happen between us so much as to let what is already, quietly here be revealed — origin meeting origin, our deepest nature shown more fully than any of us can see alone. Sometimes there are words. Sometimes a rich, unhurried silence. Always, the surprise of being met, and of meeting, more truly than we expected.

No experience needed. Everyone is welcome.

How it works

Simple to join, simple to be in

1

Gather

We open together as a whole group, eyes open, with a single living question.

2

Breakouts

We move into twos and threes to meet more closely in the space between us.

3

Return

We come back to the whole to share what was revealed, and close together.

The question is always the same: "What is being revealed because we are together?"
Joining is free and gives you the full calendar of events and an optional email reminder before each one. Simply check the calendar or click on the Zoom link you will be emailed. Please arrive a few minutes early.
Then relax and let yourself be met.

If you already practice

Many who come already know how to track their own experience — sensations in the body, the movement of emotion and thought, the subtler senses.

Those skills are deeply welcome here. We simply turn them in a new direction: not only “what is happening in me?” but “what is being revealed in the space between us?”

Beyond the screen

A few words for the field

New to this language? You're in exactly the right place. These are the few words that come up most — held lightly, pointing at something felt rather than defined.

OriginThe ever-present source we each come from — not a beginning behind us, but a depth always here. In meeting, origin meets origin.
InterbeingThe simple truth that we don't exist in a vacuum; we are all deeply connected to one another.
We-SpaceThe shared awareness that becomes tangible when people settle into deep, honest presence together — not made, but revealed.
MutualityAn equal, heart-to-heart way of relating where everyone's essence is honored.
PresencingReleasing past and future to be fully available to what is already, wholly here.
PresenceThe aware, living stillness we are beneath our stories — the same in each of us, and in our midst when we meet.
"Out beyond belief and unbelief, there is a field. We meet there."
after Rumi
"The human Being becomes more important than the things of this world."
Eckhart Tolle · A New Earth
"In the end, everything is simple."
Jean Gebser · The Ever-Present Origin

Questions & answers

More than okay — newcomers are especially welcome, and often bring the freshest presence. There's nothing to prepare and nothing to get right. Come as you are, arrive a few minutes early, and the host will help you settle in.
Sessions are held several times per week over Zoom. You're welcome to attend as often or as rarely as you wish. Each one stands on its own, and the experience deepens as you return. Please join on time, with your camera on, from a quiet, undisturbed space — sessions run about an hour.
Yes. Sacred Ground is an experiment in sharing a profound experience of interconnection as widely as possible. There's no charge to join or to attend, and you're warmly encouraged to invite others who might like to come.
A quiet space, a little time, and a device with a camera. Sessions are fully interactive, using video in both the whole group and small breakouts, so your experience will be richer from a laptop or desktop than a phone. That's it.
