Creating
the possibility of conscious loving and conscious living through a
transformative journey of MINDFULNESS
The search for a life of meaning and purpose, free from stress,
frustrations and problems, is the quest of every person's existence.
Facing up to life's challenges often calls for a wholesome state of
mind and clarity of our thoughts and feelings before we can make a
clear and conscious choice in whatever we do.
Why mindfulness meditation?
Mindfulness meditation is mind work, the work of being aware.
Mindfulness, also known as awareness, is the art of living in the now
and giving our fullest attention to its presence. A mind that is still,
calm and alert is an invaluable asset in handling life's
tribulations. With clear awareness, we can begin to see things as it
is, and not from the world of concepts, ideas and judgments.
By learning to understand the way the mind works, we are able to
overcome perceived obstacles and difficulties with greater ease. We
begin
to create more authentic, peaceful and harmonious relationships, and
will come to have a deeper degree of love, patience and understanding
for ourselves and others.
Mindfulness or awareness will add immeasurable value to the quality of
our day-to-day living.

Talk - The Importance of Inquiry
by
Geraldine
Inquiry, commonly known as questioning oneself is a lot more than that.
It is the attitude that brings about the nature of inquisitiveness
hence inquiry, and not about simply asking ‘why’ to everything. It
matters too, where the direction of inquiry is being brought to as
proper inquiry brings about a lot more than merely knowing but results
in direct realization and experience bringing about natural shifts
within oneself and the world with understanding and compassion. It is a
way of undoing through understanding the patterns of what arises in our
lives.
Saturday,
19 May 2012, 8:15pm-9:30pm
This
talk is offered on a complimentary basis, however contributions to the
centre in support of its activities are most welcomed.

Divine
Sanctuary for Women
Providing
a Haven for Women
Women
need a place where they can go to in order to feel safe and secure to
express what is going on in their minds, and the Divine Sanctuary for
Women provides exactly that. Women go through a lot these days with
challenges ranging from family commitments (which include parents,
siblings, spousal, children and devotions) to career & business
advancements, health and personal matters; so it is helpful to obtain
differing perspectives to cope with life’s demands.
This sharing session is aimed at allowing women to gain insights and
different outlooks in subjects that matter most to a woman’s heart.
Subjects discussed range from relationships of any kind, health, sex,
work or even personal growth – anything that you encounter in your
experience as a woman.
Next
Session is on Monday 21 May 2012
Mondays,
30 April - 4 June 2012, 8:15pm – 10:00pm
Only a
nominal fee is requested for participation and in support of
Clove&Clive's work.

Spiritual
Lessons through Movies
A
Beautiful Mind
Based on the life of the prominent mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr.
(Russell Crowe), this biographical drama focuses on his struggle with
the terrible illness of schizophrenia, which began to affect him while
a student at Princeton in the late 1940s.
A brilliant but somewhat arrogant and asocial man, Nash preferred to
spend his time with his thoughts, which consisted primarily of seeing
mathematical formula associated with everyday occurrences, than with
people. Two people he did make a connection with were Charles, his
roommate at Princeton, and Alicia Larde, one of his students when he
was teaching at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) in the early 1950's.
Sunday,
27 May 2012 @ 2:45pm-5:30pm
Admission
is free but seats are limited to 25 only. Prior registration
is required and shall be on a first-come-first-served basis.

A
Course in Miracles Study Group
Nothing
real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.
Understandably, some of us hold different versions of the Course; one
being published by Foundation
for Inner Peace (FIP) and one being published by Course in Miracles Society (CIMS).
We would like to point out that although there are varying degrees of
the text expressed in both versions of the Course, the essence of the
Course remains the same, that is,
Nothing real
can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
We noticed that each chapter, with its sub-topics is a little too much
and too vast to cover in each context of its own during our previous
sessions together due to the constraint of time.
We are now streamlining the coverage of text to be read, discussed and
pondered upon with the objective of deriving the true meaning of each
context of what is being expressed by the Course for the benefit of our
journey with the Course.
For the upcoming study group session on 30 May 2012, Wednesday,
8:15pm-10:30pm, kindly read the following: -
For
FIP version
Chapter
7, THE GIFTS OF THE KINGDOM
V) The Totality of the Kingdom
VI) The Unbelievable Belief
For
CIMS version
Chapter
seven, The Consistency of the Kingdom
VIII) THE TOTAL COMMITMENT*
IX) THE DEFENSE OF CONFLICT
*This is to
note that under VIII. THE TOTAL COMMITMENT (CIMS version), part of Line
71 is not found within the Text of the FIP version. Those who wish to
obtain the additional text in the CIMS version is welcomed to contact
Geraldine.
Wednesday,
30 May 2012, 8:15pm - 10:30pm

Wisdom
Meditation
Untying
the Knots - Peeping into the Workings of the Mind
Wisdom unlocks the mystery of our stress and brings forth a meaningful
life. In this course participants are guided to recognize for
themselves that the choice of a complain-free life is ever possible
here and now by fully embracing what is offered in the present.
By taking each step in the Now, this course enables us to develop the
skill of silent recognition into the reality of things as they truly
are, instead of the unreal created by our concepts of judgments, ideas
and opinions of what is out in the world by our resistance and holding
on. By encouraging recognition and understanding of our inner mind
through mindfulness, wisdom begins to blossom in our life.
Weds,
13 June - 18 July 2012, 8:15pm-10:30pm
(Total 6 sessions)

Circle of 1Love meditation
Coming
in togetherness in amplifying love for a better world
To each person, love is defined differently - each interpreting from
the outcome of their own personal experience - yet love is universal,
devoid of meanings, until what and how one defines it and finally,
limits it. True love is not a feeling nor is it a romantic interaction.
Love is exactly here when there is elation of other's happiness, or
when one is moved towards a compassion compelling action. Or a mere
spontaneous gesture of giving and even receiving when nothing was
planned or expected. And, unlimitedly more than that, too. Love is
simply about oneself, though it seems to the mind it is about something
or someone. Love is just a state of being in oneness with all, having
oneself as the source of it.
Join us in this monthly event for a group loving meditative experience
of expanding 1Love with all, to all.

We
welcome any kind of financial appreciation for the session through

The
12 Steps of Forgiveness
How would you define forgiveness? Can you actually “do” forgiveness
towards others as in “I should forgive”, or is “forgiveness is for me;
rather than for the person who hurts me”? Is it necessary to forgive?
What is the purpose and function of forgiveness? Is it possible to
forgive without forgetting? This coming June, we will be embarking on
another book reading journey as we enter into a new topic on
forgiveness, adopting from the book The 12 Steps of Forgiveness by Paul
Ferrini as a topic for us to reflect, discuss, practise and realize.
We invite you to journey along and share with us your life experiences
in this area so that it may inspire others in their own individual
path. At the same time, let any new insights gained and acquired from
this sharing propel you to disentangle any long term pain which you may
not have known how to resolve.

21 June - 19 July 2012, 8:15pm-10pm

BUSTING
the Mind Game
Bringing
Wisdom to the Frontier
Have you ever had conflict in areas of your relationships? Do you find
your communications predictable? Or tried unsuccessfully changing
others?
If your answer is "yes" to any of these questions, you’ve been
unknowingly playing the Mind Game. You either learnt in a default way
or were taught certain rules and regulations, with which you’ve been
following them without questioning their reality. And you become a pro
at playing this game where you pile up more and more winnings—except
you can’t win this game as it has no ending.
The only way to bust yourself loose from this Mind Game is to discard
the rules and regulations that binds you, and start creating a new
programme with a new set of ideas that leads you to a freer direction.
This workshop presents radical ideas and practical tools for
transformation and requires courage to face what may not always be
pleasant or "feel good" — however, the rewards and results will bring
about positive and loving transformations to you and your family in
many wonderful and beautiful ways.
Fri
29 June [night only], Sat 30 June & Sun 1 July 2012
Friday [8:15pm - 10:15pm], Sat & Sun [9:00am - 6:00pm]

Mindfulness—A
Starting Point
Exploring
the Foundations of Mindfulness Meditation
What is Mindfulness Meditation? In simple layman terms, it is the
cultivation of mindfulness, keen awareness and right understanding of
the reality and true nature of our mind and body processes through
moment-to-moment observation.
We are conditioned to react endlessly to external stimuli such as
people we meet, situations we are faced with. In short, external
factors influence and determine our "mood", "happiness" or
"unhappiness". The benefits of this course is to enable you to
cultivate positive factors such as calmness, contentment, and
concentration, which ultimately leads to true peace and happiness.
This course allows you to start up a daily meditation
practice, develop a calmer mind, become more loving,
forgiving, and patient and apply basic knowledge and techniques of
Mindfulness practice.
Fridays,
3 Aug – 14 Sep 2012 (excluding 31 Aug)
(6 evening sessions)
For

The Retreat —
Surrendering is Having
Shifting
from Lack to Joy with Awareness+Wisdom
It is said that change is inevitable; yet it is not the kind of
"change" that we desired to pursue to fit into our own needs. When one
stops interfering with Nature, except working with the causes for
whatever effect to take place; whatever results coming our way will
exactly reflect what is needed for our own personal growth. Not
accepting what is on the plate and wanting it to be otherwise only
masks further what we are yearning for—peace and freedom from mental
stresses.
Thus, when one surrenders to what is, one is in fact "having"—having
the chance to develop self-trust, acceptance and detachment. These are
the fundamental qualities which necessitates inner wisdom to
arise—unblocking us to realize inner happiness which has never left and
has been always here within us.
Welcome to the forthcoming exciting retreat.
