-- Steven Foster, The Four Shields of Human Nature

 

 

Into the realms of our imagination there are no borders. Stepping beyond cultural and personal stories we enter a fertile ground where possibilities abound and anything is possible. When we dare to imagine we are more than we think we are, we surrender to our relationship with Spirit. We become a vehicle for healing, and the yearning of the universe toward wholeness and balance. For this we must get out of the way, risk our personal comfort zones, and trust in the creative, generous nature of Spirit. 

 

In order to enter this regenerative arena it asks that we know our own foundational ground of being, familiar with the stories of who we are, what defines us, what calls us to reach beyond our personal existence. Before surrendering to our wild, creative nature, there is the question of intent. Do we choose to use this power of ours for the healing of others, or merely for self-empowerment? Here lies a personal choice that must be made again and again.

 

In this 6-day seminar you will explore your relationship with our spiritual nature and the wisdom that it evokes with each turn of our maturation. You will practice shapeshifting, meet the trickster, explore your deepest values, erase and reestablish borders, become no-name and drop into the fertile ground of emptiness where there is no difference between sacred and profane. There will be time alone each afternoon, across thresholds of imaginary separation, with councils and mirroring of stories each evening.
