EdenHarmony.co is open for business

An Exciting Announcement!

It is with great pleasure and pride that I make the following announcement: As of May 2023, I am here to offer myself as The Offering.

I am here to do so with the utmost commitment to all that is true, and with the unwavering dedication to holding and seeing all who chose to interact with me.

In other words, I am officially open for business! I have started holding live, online meditation classes every Sunday.

To this offering I am bringing:

• nearly a decade’s worth of experience studying and teaching meditation
• years spent being personally mentored by masters of meditation and ancient philosophy
• a Berkeley degree in Cognitive Science and Education
• my longtime, continuing dedication to self mastery

The Hermit Archetype and My Emergence

Where I am today, holding these classes as my first offering to you all, is actually of great surprise to me. I was sure that my path would lead me to a lifetime of hermitage.

In the two years since I started experimentally offering myself, in the form of this free newsletter and free guided meditations online, it has been an intentionally self absorbed experience. I have been sporadic, inconsistent, and creating without higher aim.

Nothing I have shared was for any reason other than to fulfill my desire to feel how Creation wanted to move through me. Everything was a litmus test of the viability of my Life Force’s capacity to move unobstructed and undistorted. I resisted creating anything for ‘the Other’ and to the best of my evolving abilities, created chiefly for me. I refused to see or acknowledge the audience I was amassing.

After a lifetime of unwillingly and willingly letting my Life Force and creation abilities be taken hostage by and deeply influenced by the Other, working from the foundation was my only way out. And so, for the past few years, I have been deep in the proverbial cave, marshaling my energies and wholeheartedly playing the role of The Hermit.

The Hermit Archetype has always enchanted me. Something deep with me, rooted in all that is primal and seemingly preceding my current incarnation, has pointed me in the direction of total retreat from the world for as long as I can remember. My essential nature yearns to sink into the dark, earthy depths of the Hermit’s cave and walk the path of the solitary renunciate.

This secret and unfulfilled yearning eventually became a choiceless choice due to circumstances beyond my control and I finally aligned with Life in submitting to the archetype. My experience fully living out The Hermit has been incredibly transformative and fruitful - so much so that I had started to believe that living in hermitage would become a permanent way of life.

Alas, Life has made it incredibly clear that I am to exist beyond the confines of my cave. In fact, a full commitment to The Hermit archetype necessitates emergence. The great paradox I have found in working with this archetype is that leaving the cave is of equal importance to entering the cave. Yes, The Hermit is actually designed to leave the cave.

A deep and total retreat invokes the natural law of emergence. Emergence is necessary so that the ecstasy of the next retreat can be tasted once again. Retreat and emergence live on the two extremes of the spectrum, both equally needing the other. They exist as the dance of opposites that holds the key to total union. In my ever deepening exploration of the Hermit, the desire to eventually be in and of the world is inevitable.

A Letter of Recognition to You

So here I am, heeding that call, with all the courage and strength I have in every now moment. My emergence thus far has been an experience both delightful and empowering as well as humbling and emotional.

It has been a joy to discover I am no longer porous and vulnerable but sovereign and fortified. And it has been deeply moving to, for the first time, behold and see all of you who have opted in to all that is me. In my emergence, I am finally able to see all of you who have gathered outside my cave. To realize that I have amassed nearly 1,000 of you across different platforms during these past two years was shocking and wondrous.

This is a letter of acknowledgement and recognition to you who have recognized and resonated with me to the point of choosing to opt in to me. I feel you and I see you.

I have emerged, and I have taken on the commitment to be in communion with you.

In love, wonder, and awe,

Eden Harmony
