SUMMARY:Isira ~ Awakening in a Time of Significant Change in the World: 3 Part Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Three-Part Retreat\nSundays\, Nov. 8\, 15 & 22\n3:00 – 5:00 pm\, Pacific Time\nTime Zone Converter\nEvent will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting.\nYou’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions. \nAwakening in a Time of Significant Change in the World\nBridging the gap between awakening and lived experience during these times.\nThe world is experiencing many challenges and changes. As spiritual seekers we can be experiencing an even greater gap between what we are living and feeling\, and the spiritual ideals of awakening and  consciousness. \nHow to consciously respond and adapt to this time of significant change in the world:\nIn this three part workshop series Isira will explore with us how to bridge the higher principles and elements of the spiritual path with the raw reality of the challenges being experienced as a human on the planet now. Isira will share how we can find relevance in our spiritual ideals and apply them for the greatest benefit and effect. \nThis will support you to understand: \n\nWhat is the relationship between the upper realm of truth and our lived experience\, and how to bridge the gap between the two?\nWhy we are experiencing what we are\, and finding deeper understanding?\nHow our own spiritual process relates to these times of crisis\, and how to bring conscious change?\nHow what is happening in the world relates to being on our spiritual path?\nWhy we may still be struggling and how to restore faith and power?\n\nIsira will share insights\, tools and meditations enabling you to benefit from spiritual theory at a more lived level. This will support you to more easily bridge the gap in your own experience and give you the ability to: \n\nRespond to the disruptions internally and externally.\nNurture and support the effects of these disruptions internally and externally.\nAnchor in a consciously poised state and therefore set in motion a higher paradigm of experience and intentional creation.\n\nPart 1\nWe will acknowledge and recognize both the upper realm of spiritual (more abstract) ideals and principles and the ground level experience of what we are living in. We will recognize the challenges we are faced with and bring a new perspective to both of these. \nPart 2\nWe will learn how to respond to the challenges effectively. Learn which tools can assist us most in meeting the challenges and disruptions to restore balance internally and externally. \nPart 3\nWe will discover how to ground and occupy ourselves in a higher vibrational state and intentionally create a higher paradigm. \nAbout Isira\nIsira (pronounced “a-SIRA-a”) Sananda is a spiritual teacher from Southern Australia of mixed European and Aboriginal heritage whose teaching ─ rooted in non-duality ─ revolves around the primacy of love\, the necessity to transform limiting beliefs\, and the profound need for deep communion with the Earth\, its creatures\, and elemental forces. From infancy onwards\, Isira experienced profound meditative states\, prophetic dreams\, powerful visions\, psychic abilities\, vivid past life memories and auspicious synchronicities. After a difficult childhood\, and surviving a brutal murder attempt as a teenage runaway\, Isira received ordination from the Dalai Lama and spent several years living in Himalayan hermitages as a Tibetan initiate\, before returning to Australia to explore her indigenous roots. Today she functions as a wisdom keeper\, a spiritual leader\, an ardent advocate for conscious change in the world\, and an exemplar of the life of love\, all the while bringing penetrating insight into both the nature of consciousness and the urgent global challenges we all face. She is the author of a remarkable memoir\, Buddha on the Dance Floor\, and a book of teachings\, Awakening You: Empowering Peace\, Love and Freedom on Earth. \n“I am Universal. I am not of one religion\, one lineage\, one race or one country. My lineage is consciousness. My religion is love. And the world is my sacred home.”  \nwww.isira.com \nSliding Scale: $50 to $90\nSome Partial Scholarships Available\nPlease Register Early if you can. \nREGISTER
