Fellowship of Friends is an intentional community encompassing 1,200 acres at the spiritual center, Apollo, in the Sierra Nevada foothills. A main goal of Fellowship of Friends is to provide people with practical ways of connecting with their higher selves and exploring a conscious approach to life. At the core of this is a focus on being present as a daily practice.
This form of mindfulness requires a conscious choice between darkness and light and involves quieting the lower self’s continuous activities. One of these activities of the lower self takes the form of a steady stream of thoughts and words, as manifested by the “imagination.” Imagination observed without identification creates the possibility for something higher. This process of regularly tending one’s thoughts and actions offers a perception of the moment where the lower self diminishes and a space is created for one's true self to emerge and flourish.
