PERSONAL ENRICHMENT
Meditations That
Welcome the Earth
The human journey is fundamentally embodied. It is in and through the body that our full humanity is revealed. In its deepest expression, this ‘body’ is nothing other than the earth herself. Awakening to our lives thus requires opening to and receiving the earth’s presence. Using the Meditating with the Body practices of Reggie Ray, this workshop will guide us into our unique physical incarnation and welcome the ‘Great Mother’ more fully into both our spiritual practice and our lives. Same weekend as Meditations That Settle the Mind.

Your Genius is Calling:
The Courage to Be Who
You Really Are
It takes conscious courage to listen for what whispers to the soul, especially within a culture that tends to denigrate the impulses of the deeper self-intuition, feeling, sensing, instinct, imagination and dreams. It is a great loss to let these calls fall away, or worse yet, deny them entirely. Clear a space to bring your original blessings to bear, awaken to what initiates you toward life’s deeper purpose and your own true nature. Step onto your genuine (genius) path and then live to give it away.
