Easter Retreat

Thurs, March 29th  to Tues, April 3rd;  

                                                                Burning in Grace

                                                                     Urban Sage  

                                    The ultimate act of Faith  is when the  Ego                                                                       relinquishes its own attachment to suffering

      To leave yourself aside is the ultimate act of faith because up until now you have been your own favourite person and your own worst enemy in varying degrees; we have grown a tough outer  skin a protective layer,  if you are tough, then in some way you have swallowed your person  and simmering in self-image, boiling in beliefs,  stewing in toxic thoughts, the person is a very tough thing very indigestible;  the ultimate act of faith    is to spit it out, offer self to the self and be tenderized in the holy fire;

Faith tenderizes  the tough,  sweetens the bitter,  removes the additives

leaving only the pure self

                                                                  The Sage emerges 

as the  ME, the YOU, the WE the I, merge

 revealed the all-ness, the vastness of Consciousness  

It becomes our direct discovery, together we are essentially alone yet never lonely

 alone as everything, that discovery is the DNA of oneness,

aloneness ultimately  draws you into a natural intimacy; 

The discovery of consciousness expressing and experiencing  itself

    both as unity and individuality: 

  

  Love is not only a feeling of warmth and intimacy it is a shift in perspective where we view all of life through the eyes of the heart and not the eyes of ego.

                                                                  Bring Me Home

The Womb of Existence

            The art of relaxing into whatever happens to be present in your experience

                                      The body as a portal for self-realization

                                            a point of entry into an  Inner Revolution;

Realization does not guarantee this revolution  it simply makes it possible; such a revolution requires an outpouring of old structures of limited consciousness and the discovery of a living fluid intelligence

                                          spiritual  sovereignty rooted in your humanity;

   The Invitation comes to be released from the craziness and fall in love with what you truly are:  Forget who you believe yourself to be and remember the natural silence, peace, joy and love of your deeper nature:

  There's a great wisdom in you and something that makes you doubt that;

There's a great joy in you and something that wants to destroy that;

There's this great silence in you and something that wants to disturb that;

There's this great love in you and something that wants to disconnect from that;

There's a great intuition in you but something that makes you distrust that;

There's this great peace in you and something that wants to take you on a journey

in search of that; something that wants to run and something that wants you to remain,

What is that something? and who are you?

Inside the Miracle 

 Life organises everything so you can feel spontaneous; 

      don't be fooled or limited by your own design, beliefs, assumptions, fears and             concepts:  You are vast, boundless, immeasurable and yet  a  primal contraction held deep in the gut tells you a  different tale; 

This primal "No"  is the foundation around which this sense of  "I myself"  the ego self is constructed, its formed around identification with the central illusion of 

scarcity, security, survival, surrender, special-ness

These illusions  play in the theatre of

 money, food, sex, love, life, relationship, joy,  death, freedom

Where does your "No" hang out, in which theatre, on what stage is it playing, 

and how much longer will the production be running?

 



Today is the day you were worried about yesterday;

When  awakened energies penetrate the gut we jump from the not so merry go round of illusion and live free inside the miracle of life;

Deeper in Light

 Radiant  Presence, the Ascending and Descent of Spirit

A Healer's Path, I am that

The great unknown is holding each one let it find you allow yourself to be found by the greater dimension of existence: The womb of existence, the great darkness, has nothing to do with the shadow side of the psychological mind, it is the infinite depth, the void from which we come holds us: Be an embodied resource for your  illumination and never abdicate your own authority, or claim a false or self-serving authority that will lead you into delusion and pain; 

 The point isn't whether or not we are suffering rather, it is that we do not become identified as the sufferer, and our wounding does not define  but illuminates  so we may be an unbound loving presence in this world with the courage to flow through life and life flow through us from a deeper place than that of the ego trying to do it;

 Freedom is the essential nature of Consciousness, and consciousness is the source of our individual awareness and each life is unique and contributes simply by being what it is;  Know yourself to be the holy river flowing into the vast ocean, and not a lake A river surrenders its individual identity,  name, and origin when embraced by the vastness of the ocean.  

 All good physical psychological and spiritual health begins and ends in love.  

 there is no right or wrong we are simply who we are.

let be let flow let be

                                                                   The  One in Two 

                                                                        Wise Love

                                                   Reduced to love in sacred company

      We need to look closely at the story that frames our heart

   What if a sanctified  relationship  was not about  getting your needs met  but allowing each other the freedom to be who they are: What if there was no agenda other than to offer a true expression of kindness in the moment; Alleluia :

an exploration into sacred connection, 

whether it be with your lover, mother, father, your partner, your kids, 

begin to move, speak and act in the kindness and care inherent in you;

Firstly you have to shift from the ME centred version  of trying to be kind,

trying to be loving, trying to say or do the right thing

into a more radical wider way of relating;

This is for those in a relationship, coming out of a relationship

or contemplating entering into one: in other words,

it's for you, it's all for you;

One Love  One Heart  One Tribe

                                                                Dispelling The Myth

     Healing the core wound of unworthiness,  and the deep sense of being made wrong;                                  

This devastating wounding is protected by the pain of pride,

           and the act of pride protects our heart from a loving intimacy with life;  

     as we  dispell the myth we open to the mystery of descending Grace a divine love

that touches and redeems this illusionary darkness in our soul freeing us

to honour, restore and reconnect with your true sense of worth and inner dignity

it is a myth we are fundamentally flawed, yet so many of us hold a deep belief that we

were born unworthy, inadequate, unlovable,

What if that is simply not true,

 I'm inviting you to the dance of inquiry to look from a more deeply informed place and  make yourself available for the descending force of spirit and what it means to be embodied, to take refuge in our human experience;

     Deepest Inheritance 

                                                      Generational healing,

                                              karmic foot prints in consciousness  

                          generational cords into the past create the symphony of today                   and the dance of tomorrow; 

Each of us come from a generational line back as far our original ancestors, we are the living wave at the edge of outcome and imbued with much beauty and much generational pain: this energy is handed down  unconsciously, this pain was handed to them and they unknowingly passed it to you, it seeped into your bones and you acted out your part in the play, it became your story and it is your deepest inheritance;

yet it is not who you are 

 it transfers generational much like a virus and infects the family tree  becoming deeper and deeper ingrained in the branches of time; simply through birth without even realizing  you were actually being  handed their core suffering, their shame, their guilt; You were living another's truth long before you discover your own: and this inhibited the participation toward  instinctual movement and flow of authentic love, joy, anger, sorrow, and freedom ;

what is your personal story, your generational story, the myth you have lived by,  the story may not be true but what it opens and closes in you feels real enough;

Moving beyond generational wounding to the deepest inheritance of all

 Fierce Embrace

removing the barriers to inner peace and harmony:

Don't say to God I have a big problem say to the problem I have a big God;



  At times we all feel under pressure whether it be from the inside or outside discover you alone have the key to your own freedom it's not in someone else's pocket:  

 There is a fierceness to life that can swallow you up, moments of difficulty, challenges that overwhelm exhaust and deplete our inner and outer resources those times call for a fierceness in us; the solution will not rise from the ego mind it enters through the cracks of crisis, transition, loss and despire, it enters when we least expect it  from our deeper nature and with out effort or struggle; you may or may not  be conscious of this intelligent presence and how it moves in moments of difficulty, but it brightens under pressure, the more we lean in the brighter and more powerful it gets; it's opposite to the ego, the ego contracts, moves away, hides and diminishes as the challenge gets bigger and the pressure piles on

in any situation we are either moving from fear or love; The remedy for fear is not courage its love,  courage is sometimes required but love conquers fear; love is non-sentimental, non-judgmental, wise and true; love does not fear, because love is the stronger force; love is the living embodiment of grace; 

 when you discover this intelligent brightness under difficulty you live a fearless existence, and  can awakening  deep in the craziness, turmoil, struggle and upheaval of everyday life: 

  we look to understand the non-personal origin of fear, doubt and worry and how these states eclipse our courage, spontaneity, joy and freedom;

                                                                      Lightning Heart

                                                            heavenly realms of the soul

                         The deepest instinct is to discover your very own Heart IS Guru

                                    and to realize nothing stands outside of you

  It is all you, your life belongs in your hands

Look no further than your own lightening heart
     

                                                                                            

Embrace the paradox that life is and always has been  deeply whole and perfect,

That you are deeply whole and divinely perfect

(And that includes all forms of suffering)

yet forever evolving through the potential of becoming and living fully the

embodied human experience.  

We are divine imperfection and divinely perfect

One's Guru Heart can confirm this eternal discovery 

The Strategist Mind  has a hard time dealing with this paradox

That life is divinely complete while a soap opera is running all at the same time: 

It is the human experience that anchors Spiritual life, 

'Like peanut butter and jelly you can't have one with out the other'
