Community Explorations

Each one of us has a personal journey that we make in life, which makes it even more special when we come together as a community to share that experience, exchange insights, and gather around an idea or subject that is meaningful to us — sometimes we don't know what we know until we tell others. Here we share some of the Portals community Zoom calls that have captured unique moments.

Listening as Healing

The simple act of listening can change a life; not just hearing another person, but actually listening; there is a profound difference, and therein lies the mystery and potential magic. To be more accurate, true listening will change two lives — the person speaking, and the person receiving the words. Is listening really that powerful? That’s what we explore in this conversation with Aviv Shahar and a group of Portals friends who have been on a discovery journey into the realms of listening, some for several years.

Portals Into the Soul, Chapter 2 – Event Parts b & c

Our next big step forward in the exploration of the human soul reveals the path not just to our personal growth and elevation, but also the potential to transform the larger ecology and meta-crises sweeping our local and global communities.

This conversation combines two new segments of a recent Portals event that introduced us to the language of the soul. In “Soul Qualities” (part b), Aviv Shahar and a global group of Portals friends demonstrate simple exercises to improve our sensitivity and feel our own unique soul qualities, which can release deep healing and wellbeing.

Soul Intuitions, Event Part 1 – Feeling Your Thoughts

It’s always a special occasion when we can come together live with a global community to explore in a deeper way and sense for ourselves the revelations and new intelligence emerging on the Portals website. A great example is the most recent live global adventure on Portals, which launched us on a discovery journey into the true nature of the human soul.

A New Epoch Beckoning

It seems like a miracle that in the face of violence, fear and uncertainty continuing in far too many places as the new year begins, a global group of friends from widely diverse backgrounds would have gathered to imagine a way toward a better future.

How to Be a Friend

Isn’t it interesting that arguably the most connected, in touch and in tune generations ever, Gen Z and millennials — generally people born after 1980 — also report in some surveys feeling lonelier, with fewer close friends, than their older siblings or parents?

Could Armageddon be an Inner-Geddon?

We no longer need Hollywood to create ever-bigger fictional disasters to scare us into believing our world just may be on the threshold of Armageddon or other apocalyptic scenarios that threaten the future of humanity and the planet. Real-time, real-world environmental collapse, war, and cultural chaos are brought into our awareness on any media platform we may use.

The Purpose Tethered Life

It’s a word that can define or change a life or a community, and carries so much potential power and meaning, yet how many people can clearly answer the question, what is your purpose in life?

The Healing Miracle

This simple practice will demonstrate the steps in generating the essence of healing — physical, mental and emotional — for ourselves, our families, humanity and the planet. 

The Essence of Care and the Practice of Essencing

A core motivation in the Portals mission is to develop and bring to this unique platform a series of practices that can assist any life on the journey of growth, knowledge and transformation in these perilous times.A core motivation in the Portals mission is to develop and bring to this unique platform a series of practices that can assist any life on the journey of growth, knowledge and transformation in these perilous times.
