PAST EVENTS IN 2007 OREGON January 12-15, Friday-Monday The One Thing Holding You Back: How Emotional Connection Breaks All Barriers Do you have an unrealized dream? Are you still waiting to fulfill your personal and spiritual potential? Is it finally time to overcome your lifelong struggle with career, relationship, family, weight, self-esteem or compulsion? Almost always, what prevents us from manifesting our greatest life vision is a reservoir of unfelt emotion. Resisting this emotion, whether consciously or not, is what sabotages all our efforts to change. Raphael has pioneered a method of emotional connection that is fast, simple and life changing. It can reawaken and invigorate any heart. It can be used in any situation, especially when you’re the most “triggered” or reactive. Safe and supportive, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are and then call forth your very best. January 19-23, Friday-Tuesday Workshop Descriptions Diving Deep: How Sexual Energy Reveals Your Essence Saturday, January 20, 10:45am to 12 noon What would sex be like if we shed all our principles and expectations about it? What if we approached sex with a totally naked mind? In such a void, we're often able to explode the limitations of false identity and unite with our true Self. This true Self is beyond the distinction of masculine and feminine, you and I, or even I and All. Instead of being made love to, now we're made love through. In these moments, what roars between ourselves and our lovers are the deepest, wildest forces of creation. These forces can be summoned and honored, but not controlled. It's by learning to surrender to them that we realize, and actually experience, our divinity. Join us for this safe and supportive workshop. Together, through non-erotic exercises, we open new channels of awareness and connection. Get ready to penetrate the final veils of your resistance. Be prepared to receive more deeply than you had imagined possible. Surfing Your Sexual Edge: Liberation Lurks Tuesday, January 23, 2:00pm to 4:30pm Children act out their inner life with each other on the playground. Adults do it in bed. The difference is that adults are able to bring consciousness to their play, which can in turn lead to healing, growth, and even enlightenment. But all of that requires a fierce commitment to self-revelation. We must be willing to see our sexual preferences, blocks, and fantasies as emotional mirrors. We must recognize the unique way they have of amplifying our most crucial, yet hidden, aspects. Beneath all of tantra's rituals and practices, such recognition is at its very core. This program, in a super-accepting environment, will allow you to illuminate your own sexual shadows. It will help you discover the split-off parts of yourself that are clamoring for attention. It will help you integrate these energies for maximum wholeness, ecstasy, and realization.

This tri-conference brings together an array of shamans, healers, researchers and spiritual teachers who have the ability to take you ever deeper into the truth of your being. The Sacred Sexuality presentations address a major cultural split in our collective psyche in regard to sexuality, love and relationship, and are a wonderful opportunity to integrate sex and spirit. Below is a description of Raphael's workshop: "Vessels of Mystery: A Non-Dual Approach to Sexual Union" In sacred sexuality we're able to pierce the veil of illusion, of separation. Suddenly there is no longer a distinction between masculine and feminine, partner and self, or even self and All. Instead of being made love to, we're made love through. What roars between us in these moments are the deepest, wildest forces of creation. These forces can be summoned and honored, but not controlled. It's by learning to surrender to them that we realize our ultimate presence, healing, power and creativity. Join us for this safe and supportive workshop. Together, through non-erotic exercises, we will open new channels of awareness and connection. To register/info: 505-474-0998 or go to: bizspirit.com.

Learn to align with spirit in writing your deepest truth, and how to turn that truth into the kind of movie you'd love to see.
