Soaring Higher, Diving
Deeper
Sometimes we reach a place in our life where the questions outnumber the answers. And the answers are nowhere to be found. Sometimes, our lives seem stuck without any motion at
all, forwards or backwards. Sometimes it feels like we're living right on the edge or the brink of something we can't quite see but we know it's there. We know we have to look inside, into the deep and quiet place that often remains secret even to ourselves. Here we *know* we can find the next step. The one we're *meant* to take for our *higher* good. However, we just can't seem to get there by ourselves. It's as though an invisible obstacle is blocking our way. Fulfillment is elusive. We've tried many different methods to find greater fulfillment in life, from new careers to therapy to drugs, expensive vacations new partners, new toys and hobbies. But the material, physical pleasures of life just don't hold the same allure anymore. Something remains missing. Ancient spiritual seekers spent years exploring the spiritual dimensions of this yearning. Along the way they developed and put into practice many different techniques that helped them to achieve a higher consciousness then what most of us experience today. Enlightenment was possible for those who stayed the course. Health, happiness, and wholeness were constant rewards for just getting on the *path*. They showed us that transformation is possible. Today, we can't go away and live in a cave for 30 years…we are 'householders'. We have worldly responsibilities to attend to. But, that doesn't mean that we can't achieve the same levels of happiness, health, and wholeness that was available to them. This intensive course of self-study will provide you with many opportunities to access that deep and quiet place inside that has Your Answers. Using hatha yoga, meditation, integrative breathwork, self-inquiry, yoga nidra, art, music, movement, interactive exercises, and other non-ordinary creative expressive techniques we will journey into our inner world and connect with the collective. Subject matter will include:
The group will meet twice a month for approximately 3 hours each session for a total of 6 sessions. At the last session we will discuss the possibility of continuing. In order to create a safe and secure environment for participants an application process is necessary. Experiences that stimulate the mind-body-spirit connection can be very powerful. Inner space explorations can at times stir up the unconscious and help us to see places we don't often visit consciously. For this reason, it is important that people who do this work are prepared, willing and emotionally ready to do so. Self-study (svadhaya) and discipline (tapas) are required. If you join this group, you will be expected to show up for yourself -- in and out of group. My role is to help facilitate you in this process of self-discovery and to act as a mentor if need be. I do not have the answers for you. However, I do promise to create a safe and sacred space for your discoveries and to be available before and after each session for questions. Every process that I lead you in I have experienced myself. And, because the results and the discoveries were so powerful for me, it is my intention to help others find their answers. Your committed attendance is important for yourself, and also for the entire group.There will be no make-up sessions and you will be expected to attend all sessions.
