About Our Sacred Circle
When we sit and gaze together in Circle, we wait for inspiration; and when it comes, we speak as the aligned beings we know ourselves to be.. Everyone is welcome to join us.
No reservations are necessary, and there is no fee.....
I must tell you that our Sacred Circle on Mondays is a most special time for me; and my daughter, Carrie, even plans her visits to NaMestoy around this special gathering. And now we are also attending a similar group on Tuesdays at 1pm hosted by Kim Lemen in her lovely home in Canton. I envision more and more of these Circles of Light shining forth throughout Metropolitan Atlanta. If you, too, feel the call to host a group in your local community, I will be happy to support you in this. When getting started there may be just one person show up, so I would be that third person until there are some regulars attending.
In a country of people who don't seem to have the time to build deep relationships, the Vision Alignment Project presents this vision:
"We see a world where groups and circles of people gather together regularly to support one another in the manifestation of whatever their individual dreams are; where people easily align with each other because everyone wants only for the highest good of all... devoting time together for the sacred aspects of life; where they remember to create a spiritual environment that makes it easy for everyone in the community to experience Oneness."

Bert Levitt's Bio & Details on Meditation Experience
Bert Levitt MA, LPC has been working with couples and individuals for over 38 years. He has seen firsthand that everyone has within them the ability to change. The skills set that Bert brings to his practice comes from a wide array of sources and experiences.
He has worked with abusive partners, addicts, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, chronic pain syndrome, and numerous other conditions, as well as all sorts of life and relationship issues. Working with couples to clarify intentions and act skillfully is a special focus. His marriage of 35 years has been his greatest teacher in couples counseling.
Bert has been nurturing and facilitating our meditation group here at NaMestoy since its birth in 2011. This is what he has to say about meditation: "My life long spiritual quest has led to my current meditative practice. The non-dual (not two but one out of which all things arise) way of meditation that leads to an awakened heart in the most direct way I know. Ramana Maharshi, perhaps the best known teacher of the non-dual way here in the west,also instructed students to meditate this way.
During the meditation time we search inside ourselves for the “I” we most fundamentally believe ourselves to be. The work is to put all our attention on the inner feeling of “I”, holding that feeling for as long as possible. Aides in this quest are questions to pose to ourselves; "From where does this 'I' thought arise?" Or "Who am 'I'”?
What we discover is that the “I” which we believe to be our individual self in the world vanishes when searched for. In it's place appears Absolute Being. Residing effortlessly and constantly in unshakable Absolute Being is the Awakened State.
Format For Meditation: Our first silent meditation is 15 minutes, from 11:00 - 11:15. Our second is 30 minutes, from 11:20 - 12:50. The third is an hour, from 11:50 - 12:50. The fourth is an hour, from 1:00 - 2:00, and the last is 45 minutes, from
2:10 - 3:00. We sit in silence together most of the time and take breaks occasionally for walking meditation and brief discussions. Participants may come and go as they please while still respecting the silence.

(Please note that the times for Meditation and Healing Circle has changed.

It meets on the second & fourth Sundays each month from 4-6PM. Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings, too)
About Karen Cole
Energy Healer
We are so blessed to have Karen Cole, our beloved energy healer, with us the last Sunday of each month! She has so many modalities of proficiency. During the week she teaches at Central High School here in Cumming. She is also certified in yoga, Aruvedic medicine and naturopathy so she does more than just reiki healing while she focuses on each indiviidual who enters the sacred healing space in our meditation room. Having such a comprehensive approach to healing and wellness, she can always suggest a natural way for us to heal and maintain our body, mind and spirit. The minute we enter the room we can sense the holy Presence of Spirit. Karen becomes the conduit through which blocks in our mind, body, and spirit are removed so that our natural ability to heal ourselves is released. This Sunday Karen will be working with individuals in the meditation room while the rest of us will be receiving healing from the Gongs and group healing from one another.
