January to June 2014: a series of monthly Saturday workshops about YOU.
Who are you (really)? What is your special purpose here?
You are unique, and what is unique about you is exactly what the world
needs. If you are not true to yourself, how true can you be to anybody?
But you may be acting a part, making compromises, living for other
people, ruled by the dreaded Oughts and Shouldn'ts. Or fighting to be
different, reacting against your upbringing and circumstances. Neither of these
is truly living from the heart.
When you describe yourself, do the words 'powerful' and 'inspired' leap
to mind? Or does that seem over the top? But surely that is exactly how you feel when you are most alive? Perhaps you have been keeping yourself down, trying to find a place in an ungentle world? Perhaps you have lost something or someone (the real you) along
the way?
Here are some of the questions these workshops
will help you to answer for yourself:
Who are
you anyway? ...let's pretend that under all those disguises and party hats
there is a 'real' you
Why are
you here? ...assuming just hypothetically that you are not a random flash in
life's pan
What is
the difference between being true to yourself and just being the selfish,
defensive, suspicious, secretive, vengeful, unfairly treated person you are
afraid you really are?
Where can
your inner self, with its loves and its childish innocence, find its place in
the brutal and indifferent outer world?
When the
genie pops out of your bottle and offers you anything at all, will you have a
list ready at hand of exactly what you want?
How can
you tap into your sources of inspiration,
acquire the tools to resolve problems and upsets where they really are - on the
inside - and rediscover the sheer joy of being truly yourself?
Think
not you lack a special value here. You wanted it, and it is given you (T25
VI 7)
In these workshops you will become used to turn to your inner resources
for problem-solving and for inspiration, and be guided by your true values
rather than by other people's rules and expectations. You will be exploring the
person you have learned to be, to find the essential being that you are.
Free up your energy and real
strengths and begin
to live 'from the inside', instead of being stressed out trying to appease
everyone else, or to fill your roles as you suppose you should.
I
would fullfil my function that I may be happy (W62 5.3)
If any of this sounds like you, come along and join any one of the workshops, or book now for all 6 workshops.
Bring a notebook and something towards a shared lunch. Expect to take
part in lively discussions, exercise your mind, listen to stories, draw
doodles, laugh, possibly cry, meet like- and unlike-minded people. Go home with
new ideas to make your relationships more wholehearted and your whole heart
lighter.
Note: although the workshops are inspired by the
teaching of A Course in Miracles,
this series is not directly teaching the Course itself. It is about
reconnecting with your own inner resources and how to live truthfully in a
deceitful world. In Course language, it is about self-concept versus Self.
