Bodhi Center

Dear Bodhi Center Community,

For sixteen years we have offered community gathering experiences through Sunday Celebration Services, classes, workshops, small groups, volunteering and live events. We have existed to Reveal Love, Honor All Paths, and Celebrate Life. We have impacted thousands of people in Chicago and far beyond. Bodhi has served as a launching pad for many entrepreneurs, healers, artists, organizers, and community leaders that are now influencing our world in prolific ways. We recently heard of our powerful and positive impact from many of you in response to our Community Survey.

We were inspired by your love and appreciation for Bodhi.

With the evolution of culture, society, and community platforms combined with the feedback we recently received from our Community Survey we have determined that Bodhi Center’s work as an organization has been accomplished. Our Community Survey indicated a strong desire to reestablish our Sunday Celebration Service and while we too enjoyed that weekly gathering space for so many years there is not corresponding financial and leadership support to organize that effort. With that in mind we have determined it is time we dissolve the Bodhi Center entity. Our influence and work lives on in you.

Our Sunday talks will continue to be made available across all podcasting platforms and our YouTube channel. We encourage you to listen or watch whenever you’re seeking inspiration as a reminder of the brilliance that lives in you and as a call for the unique contribution you are to offer humanity.

As we move forward you will find Bodhi alive and well in the leaders and communities that have formed through Bodhi. We encourage you to support the many communities and leaders that we love. Here is an initial list of incredible sources that may be accessed online, in person, or both.

When we’re attached to an outcome we can actually get in the way of our wants and desires unfolding.

Trust the universe is constantly creating for you.

Release any fear, lack, or limitations you might be harboring.

Affirm this with us...✨I release resistance and I exercise trust.✨ Like, comment, and share!

As I evolve and grow I continue to ask myself, “what is mine to do and what is no longer mine to do?” Over the last couple of months, I have been sensing what I understand as divine discontent nudging me into what’s next. Despite the unsettling and destabilizing nudge of the new, it has become clear to me that I am being called to create beyond the walls of Bodhi—and with that, I state my resignation.

Know that everything in life is happening FOR you and not TO you. You are not the victim of your circumstances or at the affect of what surrounds you.

Relax and be present to the fullness that life has to offer.

Remember delay is not denial and what you affirm is what you create.

Say it with us...✨ I relax my defenses. No-thing is against me. ✨ Like, comment, and share!

We are immensely grateful for our community of contributors and creators for their support of House of Bodhi with Lola Wright!

House of Bodhi is a collective of humans that create an experience to help heal and transform the lives of others.

By giving your time, dollars, and energy you make that possible for so many others.

We love and appreciate you!!!

There is a creative part in each and every one of us that is constantly shaping the world of form.

Remember your own uniqueness and creativity so that you may share it fully expressed with the rest of the world.

Say it with us ✨ I am a contribution to the evolution of humanity ✨ LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE!
