–men and women—
Who confidently make choices
About where to focus their internal attention
Even when the external realities
Of their everyday lives
Are chaotic
Troublesome
Or just plain annoying.”
– John-Roger, Spiritual Warrior: The Art of Spiritual Living
What do Spiritual Warriors look like? Just like you, first and foremost, and just like more than 200 people, individually and collectively, who came together for a day of inner exploration, good company, great food, and cinematic wonder.
On Saturday August 26th, Peace Awareness Labyrinth & Gardens hosted a special Spiritual Spa Day event, “Becoming a Spiritual Warrior,” featuring a screening of the new film Spiritual Warriors, written and produced by John-Roger, DSS, and Jsu Garcia and directed by David Raynr. And, Robert Easton, the star of the movie, attended the event!
The day began with a full house ready to venture into the work and art of living as a Spiritual Warrior. After a warm welcome from host Kevin McMillan, Zoe GoLightly made her debut as a Spiritual Warrior Co-Facilitator. We found out that her fellow facilitator—none other than Jsu Garcia—was en route from the airport, following a coast-to-coast flight to be with us. Right from the start, we had immediate demonstrations of what it is to be a Spiritual Warrior.
The morning session was a potent combination of spiritual exercises, including listening to a classic meditation by John-Roger, the Meditation of Objectivity, a Spiritual Warrior awareness process with a partner, and sharing from the group afterward. Throughout the morning, the in-the-moment loving authenticity of Zoe and Jsu kept shining Light on the way of the Spiritual Warrior. They kept demonstrating how to become Spiritual Warriors in the moment, and how that is what becoming a Spiritual Warrior is—a constant process of here and now.
After our morning Spiritual Warrior workout, we got down to the business of eating some incredibly good food. Prana Caf
