Series: So You’ve Reached Enlightenment, Now What?
Part 1: Why Do You Want to Be Enlightened?
Date: Tuesday, October 21, 2025
Time: 6:15 PM – 7:45 PM
Location: Richland Main Library – Room M
We are beginning a powerful 3-part series that dives deep into one of the most meaningful questions on the spiritual path: What does enlightenment mean, and why do we seek it?
In this first session, we’ll explore:
✨ What “enlightenment” truly means to each of us
✨ The motivations that drive us to seek it
✨ Whether enlightenment is a destination, a state of mind, or already present
Expect a blend of guided meditation, group discussion, and personal reflection to uncover your deepest “why.” Together, we’ll plant seeds that will grow into November’s discussion: How will you know when you’ve reached enlightenment?
Bring your curiosity, an open heart, and a journal if you have one. 💛
RSVP here and invite a friend to join this intentional and thought-provoking journey!
🕊️ In peace and light,
William 🌻❤️
