What We Do
At DepthPerception.org we provide "gatherings" where people can meet with the Intention of
Having a True Experience of Our Spiritual Selves. We provide the space, an audio or video
program, probably a silent meditation time, and an opportunity for discussion. To see where
we're meeting, click on "Locations", and to see what we're playing next, click on "Schedule".
We gather together with other people to hear about, think about, and talk about meaningful
things . . . things that require attention and thought and honesty . . . in a safe & comfortable
environment. Usually we begin with 30 minutes of Silent, Non-Denominational Meditation.
(See Meditation Page of this site). For an idea of how it all works, please click on the "Our
Format" button on the left.
Then we play an audio or video program selected from a wide variety of thinkers, writers,
teachers and speakers. Currently we reserve Wednesday nights exclusively for one of our
favorite teachers, Adyashanti. This will be noted in the schedule. The audio program is
followed by time to talk (you may talk if you like, and you don't have to) and later - time to
socialize. The topics chosen to start off our discussions will be about a wide range of topics,
including philosophy, consciousness, human potential, the search for meaning, and spiritual
growth and seeking. The programs will not necessarily represent the opinions of the hosts -
often the hosts will not have heard the program prior to the current airing. There are SO
MANY fine thinkers, philosophers, teachers, authors & speakers in the world. We believe it's
good for us to expose our minds and spirits to many of them, rather than (or perhaps in
addition to) focusing on just one special teacher.
We recognize that many people are thinking, meditating, journaling, praying, and reading
about deeper subjects, but that they often feel alone, even isolated, because their activities are
so solitary. People who come to our meetings are wishing to share these thoughts with other
people who want more depth and meaning in their lives -- without the dogma. At
DepthPerception there's nothing to join, nothing to believe, nothing to commit to, nothing to
conform to, nothing to give up.
Our environment is respectful, safe, non-confrontive, non-religious and comfortable. You can
come to many meetings or random meetings. Please note that this is also NOT therapy - we do
not offer any promises of confidentiality. Our attitude is: if you don't want it repeated, don't
say it.
If you're interested in exploring different philosophies in this type of environment, you're
invited to join us. If you're interested in starting a group of your own, please click on the
button labeled "Get DP In Your Area". We will help you get started.
You will notice that western religion and politics are generally not included in the programs
offered here. (There may be a few exceptions.) This is mainly because we feel these subjects
are adequately covered by churches, synagogues, mosques, newspapers, radio and TV. People
of all faiths are welcome here ~ just know that these meetings will be more slanted toward
eastern and non-dual thought. However, there are no belief requirements. You are not asked
to change your religion or faith. If you like what you hear some of the time, great! If you
disagree some of the time, great! (I suppose if you disagree all of the time, this group might
not be the best one for you.)
If you find the experience worthwhile, we hope you'll keep coming back.
Welcome to DepthPerception.

THIS IS A PARTIAL LIST OF SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS:
(For a current schedule, please click on "Schedule".
And there are lots more available by these and other teachers. Seriously, if you don't get a nugget
to think about in the week to come, you probably fell asleep (which is OK, too).
If you're like me, and would love to hear all of these, then you certainly must start coming to
our meetings.
