What to call my non-dual support group???

Is this discussion group still active? Or has everyone migrated to Facebook?
I would love some suggestions about what to call the women's support group I am starting in the New Year.  I am finding that a lot of people I know do not resonate with the term “non-dual”, even though they may be on a non-dual spiritual path.  So, I'm looking for an alternate term that means the same thing, but would have a broader appeal…or create more of a gut response of  “Yeah, that's for me…that's what I'm about!”
The group is a support group for women who are already on some kind of a non-dual path and want support in applying the non-dual perspective in the midst of their day-to-day experiences and reactions.
Would love to hear your ideas! 
Thanks,
Sajit

Hi Sajit,

Thanks for posting.  I had plans to start a group as well, but it never happened.  There was not enough interest.  Plus, I was charging money for it, and the ones who were interested did not want to pay anything.

I was going to call it the “meditative self-inquiry group.”  I called it that because the main tools that we were going to use were The Work of Byron Katie and Integrative Restoration (iRest) Yoga Nidra.  These are two methods of self-inquiry that I feel are very penetrating.  They are methods that are used to deconstruct the false self and reveal True Nature.

You also say, “The group is a support group for women who are already on some kind of a non-dual path and want support in applying the non-dual perspective in the midst of their day-to-day experiences and reactions.”  How about calling it the “Awakened Living Group”?  That name seems to speak to the two movements of “awakening” to who we really are and then “living” that awakening in our day-to-day lives.  That is why I call my private practice, “The Center for Awakened Living.”

Good luck…

My thought about using the terms “awakening” is that I usually hear it used in the context of “ascenders” – people whose idea of spiritual growth is to deny immanence and the relative reality and to focus on “transcending” (by which they usually mean disowning) these aspects of living, focusing instead on living in their (ideas about) the absolute level of reality, usually as a way of bypassing any difficulty in life.

What about pairing the word “awakening” with “acceptance,” which implies an all-inclusive approach that is in line with a nondual path?  Something like “Awakening Through Acceptance.”
