As the Universe steps up the planetary shift we are now experiencing; our life patterns are speeding up. How do we support growth in our corners of the world with positive actions, and at the same time accept that everything is as it should be? Once awake and committed, we become caretakers of the new vision of our Earth.

The workshop will be highly experiental. The intention is to reinforce everyone’s commitment to live on purpose in grounded, effective ways to present effective tools for self discovery and actualizing intentions. As we accelerate collectively and change individually, we start fine tuning, stepping up intentions and releasing more and more of the unnecessary and burdensome.

Will the promised of the shift quicken our desires to serve through living consciously, the intensity of the shift challenges us in many ways with ethical choices, handling resources of time and energy, reconciling conflicting considerations, learning what is ours to do, etc. Above all the mandate is to be poised in our own paths.

Exercises and meditations are designed to provide tools for spiritual craftsmanship and to elicit from participants their personal inner guidelines and symbols.

This purpose of this workshop is to examine our work and in our lives. Even though we theorize about abundance, many of us need to reconcile deep ambivalence about desires for the good of life with one s spiritual values. Sometimes making peace with spiritual teachings and maintaining awareness of the needs on our planet seems hard to balance with the demands and choices of modern life. When is enough enough? Part of the intention of this lecture is to face without blinking the hard questions that arise on this complex subject. The ultimate goal is for each of us to find our inner peace with all our resources and then consciously choose how we will use them.
