Susanne Marie ~ Your Spiritual Map ~ Bay Area Daylong Retreat

Where are you within your spiritual journey? Are you aware of the leading edge of your understanding? Do you recognize what you are currently working on evolutionarily?

Everybody who is called home and takes it seriously is guided to accomplish the goal of living in an undivided manner. Life is hard at work to help bring us into inner alignment. Along the way we are given tools, teachers & teachings, as well as the life experiences we need to help us grow. This includes challenges that can lead one to become primed and committed to seek what is true.

Whether we know it or not, we are always a scientific experiment, experimenting on ourselves. This ongoing experiment teaches us the power of attention and where to place it. Opening to trust the wisdom contained in that attention, we become attuned to spiritual practices we need, depending on which area of growth is necessary at the time.  It could be a time of undoing, of stripping away of the belief in a separate self. It could be a time of abiding peacefully in the unknown, realizing that this too is a teaching. It can also be a time of healing old wounds, where one’s pain is asking to be met. There can be a calling to honestly enter the world while embodying awakening. It completely depends on which facet must be polished at the time. Rather than being told by an authority beyond yourself how (and in what order) further steps in the process of realization are to be addressed based on an external model, we can learn to listen deeply and to trust the guidance that is intended specifically for you. Everyone is unique in their journey back to remembrance, and this is to be honored. We are multifaceted beings, and at any given time a particular facet is offered up to be polished and liberated.

During our time together, we will explore ways to listen to ourselves more sensitively, and we will be guided to attune ourselves to the medicine we need to continue gracefully on our journey. We will share with the group and in dyads, exploring our innate ability to feel into or sense our inner pulse of knowing, and finally how to gain confidence in it and to trust it. Sometimes it takes support to affirm the current trail one is taking.
