Upcoming Event: Voice Dialogue Camp

pathVoice Dialogue Camp

All Levels Residential Program
August 15 – 25, 2009
Still Meadow Retreat Center

Imagine spending 10 days deeply immersed in your own consciousness journey in a safe and dynamic learning environment in the beautiful foothills of Mt. Hood, Oregon.

You will have an extraordinary opportunity to learn Voice Dialogue from some of the most senior and celebrated teachers in the field as they teach Voice Dialogue and it’s applications to the practices of therapy, coaching, dream work and psycho-spiritual evolution. You will experience this vital work for yourself, in your own deepening journey of self-awareness, relationship healing and creative expression. A multiple track curriculum allows participants to craft their program training to meet their own personal and professional level.

Voice Dialogue is a psycho-spiritual approach to consciousness work; it is an awareness practice, forging a more conscious relationship between ego and soul. It is energy work, used to cultivate and feel, non-judgmental Awareness and Ego together. It has a natural resonance with meditation and can be used to ground our spiritual practice with our instinctual nature. It is used to discover, embody and then differentiate from the archetypal expressions of soul and nature and to learn how to compassionately operate with more choice and more comfort with paradox. It is used in therapy, coaching and spiritual practice to help subjects become energetically aware of their various inner selves, owned and disowned, that are lived out unconsciously.

Upcoming Event: Joanna Macy Retreat

blogphotoThe Promise of Our Dark Age:
The Wisdom, Strength and Beauty We Are Discovering

Living Earth is grateful to offer an intensive residential course this summer with Joanna Macy, revered Buddhist scholar, living systems theorist, and deep ecologist. For five days in early July, Joanna will lead us in an exploration of “the promise of our dark age.”

In planning this workshop, Joanna noted, “As we free ourselves from the delusions and dependencies bred by the industrial growth society, something wonderful can happen to us. If we manage to steer clear of panic, we may well find at last the wild power of our creativity and solidarity.” As we move through this unprecedented era of planetary transition, this creativity and solidarity are the most powerful gifts we can contribute to “the great turning.”

Joanna Macy’s work on despair and empowerment, her Work that Reconnects, and her understanding of our era as an epic time of Great Turning, are legendary. A respected scholar and dedicated activist, Joanna is a powerful voice in the anti-nuclear movement as well as communities for peace, justice, environmental defense, and ecological consciousness.

Joanna’s four decades of intense commitment to this work give her impeccable stature, authority, and depth. Thousands of activists around the world who work for peace, justice, ecological integrity, and a sustainable future have been profoundly influenced by Joanna’s workshops, retreats, and presentations , as well as her countless articles and a dozen books.

Still Meadow is hosting an attunement workshop March 20-22, 2009.  This event is for people who have had previous training in Emissary classes and is interested in discovering dimensions to it that previously may not have been apparent.

Little or no external technique will remain rigorously fixed on an individual’s capacity and responsibility to create a unique and authentic expression of attunement that delivers his or her vibratinal service to the world
Facilitated by Lloyd Meeker
Assisted by Karen Harte

Price: $325.00 (includes room and board)
