Hope is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced,  and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons.

 

—Václav Havel

We are living in turbulent times. In the churning, can you feel an anchor to something that is unchanging? Could it be a deep abiding hope? In this presentation, Rick Klein offers insight to a path out of the dualistic sociopolitical environments that keep us stuck.


How might I continue “Growing Up” on my spiritual journey?


Building on teachings from Cynthia Bourgeault, Richard Rohr, Thomas Keating and others, Rick believes the key to future spiritual growth—individually and collectively—begins with hope. Not the ordinary understanding of hope, but a deeper understanding: Contemplative Hope. As we awaken to the powerful presence of contemplative hope in our lives, we reveal the unchanging universal truths hidden in plain sight. 

 

Join us as we explore how to weave the threads of universal truth into the fabric of our lives and open to the potential of a quantum leap in spiritual “Growing Up.” This collective leap is essential if we are to show up in new ways that can diffuse the anger and fear in our world. 

 

This presentation—Unchanging—grew out of Rick Klein’s February 2025 presentation, Unfinished: A Spirituality of Change, which explored Ken Wilber’s developmental “Growing Up” lens and left many of us wondering what is mine to do? In this new presentation, Rick continues the exploration of our collective and individual journeys. If you missed the Unfinished presentation, you will be able to watch the February recording as part of your registration for Unchanging. The recording is not necessary, however, as Unchanging is a unique presentation that builds on themes raised in the previous presentation.

 

Recording Note: This event will be recorded. All registrants will receive a copy of the Zoom recording within two weeks of the event.

 

 

Hope’s home is at the innermost point in us, and in all things….as a pulse of truth that sends us forth.…Hope fills us with the strength to stay present, to abide in the flow of Mercy no matter what outer storms assail us. It is entered always and only through surrender; that is, letting go of everything we are presently clinging to.

 

—Cynthia Bourgeault, Mystical Hope 

Participant Testimonials from Rick's presentation on "Unfinished - A Spirituality of Change" 
 

• The enthusiasm of Rick's approach and his level of knowledge, along with his ability to explain in layperson's terms what the connection is between science and spirituality. Rick is a very good teacher, engaging, informative and relevant.
• The concepts Rick presented were very spiritually enriching and brought me peace.
• Mr. Klein's style is comforting, helpful, clear, and his manner of speaking is outstanding (slower paced, clear slides, and plenty of resources). 
• This was a great session. From the gorgeous materials sent early, the structure of the presentation and the rich content, the whole presentation was helpful. Thank you again for a really terrific session. It did my soul good.
