OVERVIEW

This workshop will give you an overview of the evolution of consciousness as manifested in creation and humanity from the big bang to the present. You will be provided with a comprehensive map with which to understand evolution in consciousness in any human life across cultures.

We will give you an overview and map of stages and states of consciousness and identify markers of each stage in order to more accurately assess where we and our clients are on the journey.

Then, we will learn what specific mind, body and spirit practices are applicable to each stage and state in order to facilitate awakening to greater potential, both in yourselves and others. We will explore how to transcend the mundane ego functioning of habitual patterns of defense, learn how to become aware of and relate to constricted states of fear and shame, and learn specific practices to facilitate growing into a more expanded stage and state of consciousness characterized by greater freedom, compassion and wisdom.

This workshop is designed to help you personally and professionally evolve to be of service to a suffering world with greater breadth of knowledge and insight.
