What Is Spiritual Awakening and What Happens When You Wake Up?

Do you find yourself stuck in the "trying to wake up part?”

Do you know that there is the second stage, that happens after awakening, which is embodying truth and being it.

This means allowing the old threads and patterns of human conditioning to dissolve.

Even those who have instant awakenings take years for this integration to occur - and for those of us whose awakening is slower and more gradual, we may not even realize change is occurring!

In a series of 5 90-minute classes in January, Lisa will guide you through a process of discovery and exploration to show how the roots of separation have to be seen: your routines, patterns, habits, the things that make us an "I" which believes it is separate.

Learn how as you stay as the Self, old patterns disappear. Learn how to integrate your awakening and make being the embodiment of Presence more and more your lived experience.

The Development of Trust

In order to navigate these challenging and uncertain times with Grace, we need to cultivate ever deepening Trust.

This helps us to surrender to the invitations appearing within our life, befriend constructive change, and open to new possibilities both personally and collectively.

Trust is the antidote to fear that gives us the capacity to walk an authentic spiritual path, challenging our automatic responses even when we feel vulnerable and don’t know the way.

Trust is the spiritual muscle we need to continue relaxing out of defensive control, allowing the mystery of Grace to guide our path as we move beyond navigating life from separation.

In this 2 part teaching, Miranda will speak to the stages in the development of Trust within the A Course in Miracles Manual for Teachers, sharing her experience with each of these stages in relationship to authentic spiritual surrender into a life of Grace.

During each session, Miranda will guide you into a beautiful chant, meditation, a rich teaching, followed by a potent inquiry, as well as responding to your most important questions on this subject.

Dissolving the Ego

A deeply practical and comprehensive 4 week study of how to fully Enlighten and dissolve all the blocks to peace.

Helen will show you how to recognise the Self and how to move beyond any limitations and live in constant peace.

This exploration is based on Helen's own direct experience of the fastest and easiest way to go beyond the egoic sense of self peacefully.

You will learn how to find your true Self and live from that place of peace. You will also learn how to go beyond all duality and causality to find total freedom.

How to Lead a Completely Guided Life

It's fair to say that everyone leads a guided life. However, most people are guided by egoic thoughts and emotions, slaves to what they've never examined or questioned. When spiritual students refer to "guidance," they typically mean they want to be guided by something other than ego. That may be called God, intuition, inner wisdom the right-mind of Consciousness or the Holy Spirit. Regardless of what it is called, it is possible to live a life that is completely guided by a knowing that comes from beyond the ego and the personal self. This knowing leads you in a way that is helpful to the whole while also undoing your limited self-identification, thereby awakening you to the true Self.

Learn from one who chose to commit her life to guidance. In this 4 part teaching, Regina will show you how she transcended the obstacles to guidance and point to the most profound wisdom that guidance has ever shared with her. You will also learn how to ask questions and receive answers from inner wisdom.

The Crucible We Call Relationships

What part do our relationships play in spiritual awakening?

In this series of 4 workshops with Diederik Wolsak, you will have an opportunity to explore the real purpose of your relationships.

Why did you choose the partner you are with or if you are currently single, why are you choosing not to be in an intimate relationship?

Using his highly effective 6 Step Process, Diederik will guide you to uncover the real reasons for issues such as jealousy, infidelity and blended family struggles.

In each workshop there will be an opportunity to work 1 on 1 with Diederik on any specific relationship issue you have.

Empowered Devotion

In this 2 part series, Aaron will teach a different approach to the subject of Devotion.

Traditional Devotion is a practice of consecrating all of one's thoughts and actions to God as an act of worship. To live no longer for oneself, but to devote one's entire life to God.

Empowered Devotion takes a unique approach to this practice, as it focuses more on realizing one's full potential as an act of worship. Devotion to one's spiritual potential and the realization of one's unique gifts and purpose in this life is perhaps the most powerful practice one can adopt for their spiritual growth.

As we become more aligned with the flow of life and the lessons it teaches us, our consciousness becomes upgraded to higher and higher levels, allowing us to realize the fullness of our Divine potential.

Give Yourself Permission to Screw Up on the Spiritual Path

Learn how to navigate the ongoing awareness of being both fully human and fully divine.

In these 3 Masterclasses with Jac, you will get honest answers to questions such as:

• Is there an end point to awakening or not?
• How can I be Knowledge itself and yet make mistakes?
• Who can I talk to about problems post-awakening?
• Will my human needs disappear as my awakening integrates?

Jac will teach you how to explore the lived experience of an ongoing awakened state.

Dedication to Awakening

The mind seeks dedication to awakening in order to 'get', 'achieve' or 'become' something but this mental seeking born of the conceptual self keeps us perpetually running on a spiritual treadmill, constantly chasing the promise of a future awakening.

Through gentle self-inquiry and full immersion in the NOW we can transcend the mind and discover a deeper dimension within ourselves.This dimension of Beingness opens us up to a vast, infinite ocean of peace; a stillness which never leaves or changes. Once tasted, this peace awakens a deep, authentic all-consuming desire of the heart to live in full alignment with Truth.

Effort and discipline then become irrelevant on our journey of awakening and we simply begin to live moment to moment in our preferred state of Being... in presence, love and joy.

The Awakening Body

Many of us have a deep understanding or intuition that the ordinary "I" that is present now and reading these words does not refer to a separate person.

Yet in everyday life, we continue to believe and feel ourselves to be a limited fragment.

Ellen will lead two 2 hour sessions, which are an invitation to inquire openly and deeply into our direct experience and to allow it to reveal its essential reality of Awareness. Our particular focus is the body, allowing it to be our mirror and our pathway, our prayer, and our altar, and ultimately the shining expression of this shared identity.

Gently using tactile inquiry, postures, breath and movement, the body is slowly realigned with our deepest understanding. It flows as a living substance with more and more ease and transparency and reflects and expresses the ever-present freedom and silence that is its invisible source.

Discover Your Natural State of Awakened Awareness

Once we have an initial recognition that our thoughts and feelings do not in fact constitute who we really are, the next step is to realize our “natural state” of inherent wakefulness, which is never lost or gained and never sullied or disturbed by the thoughts and feelings that arise. This direct recognition, beyond the mind, of our essential spiritual nature is the breakthrough awakening to which the nondual spiritual traditions point.

Yet many seekers read the books and watch the videos but never come to this clear recognition, which is traditionally transmitted, and then confirmed, by direct pointing in the presence of a teacher.

In this series of 4 Masterclasses, Stephan will offer teachings, guided meditations, and pointing-out instructions to introduce you directly to your natural state—what Tibetans call the “nature of mind” and Zen calls your original face before your parents were born. Once awareness awakens to itself in this way, you have experienced a major shift in identity and can’t completely revert to your old, dysfunctional way of being again.

Living the Non-Dual Understanding of a Course in Miracles 

Resting as Awareness may be the most important, valuable and yet unknown healing tool of our time.

The entire world has access to this today and most people don't know about it.

Why?

It's hidden in plain sight because our attention is habitually and culturally focused on objective external experience.

Wrap up your year of Integrated Awakening with a 4 part series of Self-Inquiry and Self-Discovery meditation Masterclasses with Bill Free.
