What is Conscious Commune?

Conscious Commune is a monthly 2-day residential gathering at Bodhigram designed to explore life’s most meaningful questions in a safe, reflective, and experiential space.

Every month, we choose one specific theme, from meditation and mindfulness, to relationships, purpose, or emotional well-being, and dive deep into it together.

The intention is to create a living laboratory of self-inquiry and inner work, where we all can pause, reflect, and learn through dialogue, practices, and community sharing. Over time, Conscious Commune envisions to become a space to build a supportive circle of seekers who are committed to living consciously.

Conscious Commune – March 2026
(How to Love Yourself and Others Unconditionally?)

Love is one of the most essential human experiences, yet also one of the most misunderstood.
Why is it easier to be kind to others than to ourselves?
Why does love often come with expectations, fear, or attachment?
Why do we feel hurt, rejected, or not enough in relationships?

We often believe we know what love is, but much of what we call love is mixed with dependency, control, fear of loss, or the need to be validated.

Unconditional love is not about being perfect, sacrificing yourself, or tolerating everything. It is about understanding yourself deeply, relating with honesty, and allowing love to flow without fear or conditions.

In this gathering, we explore:
What is love, and what it is not.
The difference between love, attachment, and dependency.
Why we struggle to love ourselves.
Healing self-judgment, guilt, and inner criticism.
Expectations and conditions in relationships.
How to relate with care, honesty, and emotional responsibility.

Through reflections, guided practices, sharing circles, and experiential exercises, participants are invited to reconnect with a deeper, more compassionate way of being, within and in relationships.
