The Dance of the Feminine and Masculine

Date: Apr 22nd, 2010 7:00 pm to Apr 25th, 2010 6:00 pm
Description:

Our human experience is determined by our gender programming more often than we realize. Our gender identity impacts our relationships at work, with family, friends and most importantly, with our intimate partners.

Over the past decades, the genders have made advancements toward a greater equality with each other. This evolution has created many opportunities within the genders, and presented new challenges and difficulties.

Many men report that they have lost contact with their true masculinity, their creative power, assertiveness, true purpose & potency, and their 'balls': their generative center.

Women have strongly developed the masculine side of themselves to succeed in the
world. Many women express a loss of contact to their true femininity, their intuition, inner beauty, receptivity, unique strength and their 'womb': their life giving centre.

The Dance offers tools to face these challenges and an in-depth experience of what is possible in a new dance between the masculine and the feminine.

Through the Dance, you will learn how to:

Reclaim the unique power and gifts of your gender
Re-establish the living dynamic with the opposite gender
Honour & cherish the differences & contributions of the opposite gender
Deeply connect with yourself, others and the divine
This workshop is not a couples-specific workshop, although couples are encouraged to attend. The course works with the universal principles of Yin and Yang that exist beyond the individual man-woman relationship and apply to work, family, friends and within ourselves. In true Inner Journey fashion, this course will be:

A blast into aliveness and greater authentic expression
A celebration in fullness & gratitude
A joyous and passionate experience

The Essential Pilgrimage

Date: Apr 17th, 2010 10:00 am to Apr 18th, 2010 6:00 pm
Description:

The subject of our pilgrimage is JOY. In our essential nature we are joyous, are able to en'joy', to delight in the gifts of life. Yet, to different degrees we have lost access to this inner source of JOY.
This weekend is dedicated to reconnect and open up to the true JOYOUSNESS from within our Being.
Beethoven's ninth symphony is called the 'Ode to Joy' and the words in the chorus are:

"Oh friends, not these tones! Rather, let us raise our voices in more pleasing And more joyful sounds! Joy! Joy!
Joy, beautiful spark of divinity Daughter of Elysium. We enter, drunk with fire, Into your heavenly sanctuary! Your magic reunites What custom strictly divided. All men will become brothers, Where your gentle wing rests."

So, come, join us to experience your own 'Song of Joy'.

Also Known As (aka) “I hear Voices”

An Inner Journey Course on the Supreme Court

We all hear voices in our heads to some extent or another. They nag at us, remind us what is right or dangerous, they promote caution and often fear. They form a part of our thinking mind that never seems to let up. And they affect us, often in unconscious ways. To some extent, they can be useful in helping us make sound, reasonable choices in our day-to-day lives. But, all too often they move us into behaviors and attitudes that do not serve us very well.

These behaviors can hurt, scare, and demoralize ourselves and others. They stifle creativity, deny our rights, and weaken our ability to act. They can be repetitive actions that we know we don’t want for ourselves, yet keep turning up.

So who are these Inner Guys anyway?! Where do they come from? What gets them so riled up? They throw the book at us and somehow we feel like we’re in Jail, a prisoner of who knows what. Whose ‘book’ is it anyway, and what makes it so heavy? AND, who’s in jail: who’s running the show!!?? How do I bust outta’ here?????

This course will examine and explore answers to these questions through a program that will include information presentations, meditation, controlled exercises,  practice, and discussions based upon experiences.
