You can now participate in this five-day Embody Your Cosmic Self awakening intensive retreat virtually from home. The aim of this five-day intensive retreat is for you to embody a cosmic sense of self that lifts you into the experience of cosmic consciousness.

The perspectives and practices you will work with on retreat come from my new book Embody Your Cosmic Self.

For years I have worked with people exploring inventive ways to facilitate paradigm shifts that awaken our higher spiritual potentials. We are capable of much more than we think, but our familiar sense of self keeps us from realizing our full potential.

We all live through a sense of self, a collection of ideas about who we are, what we are capable of and what we are not. At the deepest levels of our identity are foundational ideas about what it means to be a human being that feel impossible to deny.

On this retreat you will discover that we haven’t even begun to discover what human beings are truly capable of, and we won’t discover that until we let go of our familiar sense of self and inhabit a much bigger one. That is what this retreat is all about.

Over five days we will journey together on an adventure of transformative power of identity that will take us through three stages of growth.

  • We will begin our exploration by uncovering the subtle ways in which our current sense of self was formed and the mechanisms that keep us wedded to it.
  • From there we will establish ourselves in a meditation practice that releases the conceptual limitations of our identity and brings us into the experience of pure awareness.
  • Finally we will explore practices that allow us to envision, enliven and ultimately inhabit a cosmic sense of self that opens us to cosmic consciousness.

Your limited and familiar self-concept, the one that has your name and was born on your birthday, is reinforced every time you think about yourself, or use the pronouns I, me, or mine. We are all constantly reinforcing our habitual sense of self. And it isn’t just us, every time someone refers to you by name they're reinforcing your identity too. As long as our experience is being filtered through that sense of self we will never have access to our full spiritual potential.

Our current sense of self has been solidifying for a long time, but we can liberate ourselves from it. It doesn’t have to go anywhere, in fact it’s valuable that it doesn’t. We just don’t want it to be the limit of what is possible.

I am very excited about the spiritual work of embodying a cosmic self. I first started to explore the transformative power of identity nearly 25 years ago and described it some years later in a book called The Soul of a New Self. Last year I started working with a small group of people to practice how to do it. The results of that work were powerful and illuminating. This is the work that I wrote about in my new book Embody Your Cosmic Self, and you can explore with me on this retreat.

I hope that you will join me.

On This Retreat We Will Focus On:
The Awareness that is Aware
During this retreat we will use the practice of meditation to de-conceptualization our awareness. You will learn to perceive reality directly without the mitigating influence of the mind and enter into pure awareness. As your familiar perceptions dissolve away you will find yourself immersed in the intuitive knowing of spirit. What you will discover is a deeper source of awareness that allows you to see far beyond the limits of the familiar physical and psychological world.

The Co-Creation of Reality

We will engage in a profound examination of our experience to uncover how our perception of reality is constantly being created and reinforced by our own (and everyone else's) mind. As we uncover the mental mechanisms that hold us in our current experience of reality, we will uncover foundational beliefs about what is possible for human beings that we have never questioned. As we question these assumptions we will find that our awareness opens beyond our previous constraints.
 
Re-Wording Reality
Our journey continues with the exploration of the role that language plays in shaping how we perceive reality. We will explore how words, especially those that we apply to ourselves, don’t just describe what is real, they create it and continually reinforce it. We will work together to discover how to use language in ways that open up our experience of reality and then explore how we can liberate each other more and more by using language that supports our full potential.
Embodying Our Cosmic Self
We have all learned to navigate reality through a sense of self that is limited to a single human lifetime. Our unquestioned belief in the reality of this self denies access to the vast majority of who we truly are. On this retreat you will question the most foundational ideas that hold you to a limited identity. As you begin to experience your true cosmic self you will creatively cultivate a self-concept that is vast enough to hold the parts of you that exist far beyond a single lifetime on planet Earth.
 
Universal Being
We will explore a different way of being. As you begin to recognize the truly universal source of your being, your perceptions will open and allow you to see deeper spiritual realities that are hidden to normal perceptions. You will explore a way of being born from the recognition that you existed before your birthday and will not die at the time of your death. Your essence is truly cosmic, eternal and infinite. You are not and have never been separate from the flow of existence.
