I was sitting outside in the morning sun drinking my tea and thinking about consciousness and relationship, spirit and self, sacrifice and evolution - my constant rosary of questions and then I thought about you and your image of self. Without you there would
be no context for my work, no meaning for my creativity, no direction for my journey, no purpose for my effort.
Oh, of course, I am a thinker, a philosopher, a spiritual researcher, so without you, I would still think, seek wisdom and approach spiritual realities but with only my own consciousness as a focus, when the work got difficult I would get lazy, the rewards of my gifts would be narcissistic and ultimately boring, and I would fade away into the meadows of comfort and
the forests of despair.
But you, reading my posts, working with my courses, asking for individual conversations, sending me notes and gifts of appreciation, even just being a name on my mailing list, keep my work alive, keep me stretching beyond the ordinary and the selfish.
I am always wondering what will bring you more self-knowledge, more self-compassion, more confidence and richer self-expression. I wonder what will encourage your enthusiasm for
fulfilling your destiny, what will nurture love in your relationships, what will cultivate balance in your life and what will strengthen your moral imaginations and deeds.
I am a faithful and willing servant of your soul, walking ahead, marking a trail, setting up shelters and building fires, foraging for food, pointing out the pools of quicksand, the trolls under the bridges, the dragons sleeping in their lairs. And I fluff pillows, point out rainbows, give foot massages, and
sing soft songs. And I wake you to new mornings in your soul.
But I do this without being physically close, having intimate creative dialogues, hearing your laughter, seeing tears on your cheeks, sharing a good meal, having fun, hanging out, going deep (more than 500 words deep) and I want to change that.
COME TO
THE EQUANIMITY RETREAT
I am inviting you to come to Chapel Hill for an alchemical four days of safe, creative, intimate engagement with your soul and your future.
I want you and 11 others to experience a retreat for your soul's awakening. I have prepared a way to discover your relationship to the twelve elements of empowered relaxation and inner equanimity.
We will be describing these twelve elements,
building a feeling for them and an understanding of how to make them useful in our challenging everyday lives. When you leave you will have new soul skills for making inner equanimity a reality, not just a wish.
I've written a description of the retreat here and you can register - be one of the twelve! There's a discount if you sign up by July 1.
Read the description,
spend sometime with your thoughts and feelings around relaxation and equanimity, consult what feels right in your heart, imagine the support of a gathering of souls, and decide.
Remember, the description is pale, it can't possibly describe the vibrant possibilities of 13 souls opening up to each other and entering into the mystery of Empowered Relaxation and Inner Equanimity. What will happen during the four days, we can't imagine right
now.
Join me!!
