am – 5 pm
If you feel different, if you feel lost, or even if you don't,
you are an alien here, the Course tells us: This world you seem to live
in is not home to you. And a very juvenile alien, too, afraid,
homesick, and with its head under the blanket – until we learn otherwise.
The cure for alienation is not a journey home through space but
an awakening in time. To wake up is to grow up, pack up the game of fear,
put away the toys of guilt; to see not through a glass darkly, but face to
face. But it can seem a long process, for children believe in
magic and in make-believe, and are afraid that growing up will be the
end of fun and games. We do not want to come home yet when we are called. So
the Course gives us all the time we want, and introduces a game that
happy children play in which everyone who plays must
win; in which even while we keep turning backwards and downwards,
the escalator is still carrying us forward and up.
In this workshop we will explore what the themes of childhood,
growing up and alienation mean to us personally, and what difference the
Course’s unique perspective can make to our lives and relationships. By means
of group discussion and individual meditative exercises the aim is to further
our understanding of the Course, so as to travel the journey without distance more swiftly and light of heart.
