Aldea Spiritual Community

1st century teacher Rabbi Tarfon said “you are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.”

This millennia-old saying is a powerful reminder that we all have our unique part to play in uplifting the collective. On Sunday, we launched our new series "Doing My Part", where we will explore this idea in ways that are intimate, global, and everything in between.

“You are the sky. Everything else—it’s just the weather.” — Pema Chödrön

On Sunday, we meditated on these words as we closed out our series "Doing The Work". What if our emotions, feelings, and triggers are like clouds, and who you truly are is the sky — a compassionate awareness underneath it all?

On Sunday, we continued our series "Doing The Work" with a message on the "thornier" parts of life...the tender places inside us that get activated by triggers, irritation, jealousy, embarrassment, and conflict.

Looking for a way to cool down after a 101 degree day? Join us tonight at 6pm at Tap & Bottle North (Oracle & Ina) for Cheers & Chats — a casual meetup & great opportunity to get to know more folks from Aldea!

Today, we celebrated the mothers. We also explored the wisdom of our bodies, what it means to truly feel our feelings, and how healing often begins not by escaping ourselves, but by learning to listen more deeply.

Michael Gungor is a musician, author, and podcaster who will be joining us for our Sunday morning gatherings on June 7th AND returning in the evening to lead an immersive music night called Mystic Hymnal.

Mystic Hymnal is a group singing project meant to unlock our collective voices in order to remind us who we are, together.

At this Mystic Hymnal event, you can expect to be led through moments of guided stillness, moments of guided group-singing, and moments of genuine connection with those around you. You are free to be as you are: sing or be silent! No beliefs or singing abilities are required, and all voices are welcome.
