September 2006 Sat 16 and Sun 17
Weekend workshop
RELATIONSHIPS AS PATH OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH
- from the perspective of A Course in Miracles

with Michael Dawson

Learning to understand ourselves
by seeing how we relate to others.

“When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter.
As you see him you will see yourself. As you treat him you will treat yourself.
As you think of him you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him
you will find yourself or lose yourself.” from “A Course in Miracles”

A relationship based on truth and awareness is one of the most powerful tools for healing and growth. How we relate in the instant we pass someone in the street, how we relate to our friends, an employer, family members or our partners all provides us with mirrors reflecting our own beliefs about ourselves and the world.

In our lives we create barriers to the presence of God’s peace and love within us. We pursue substitutes of power, money, sex, possessions, status and so on, which can never satisfy the yearning within for deeper fulfilment and spiritual growth.

In this workshop, using the mirror of relationships, we will look at what needs to be healed in ourselves and how, by changing our relationships based on dependency to ones based on honesty and forgiveness, we can discover a path that will return us to the awareness of love’s presence within us. A gentle and safe space is created enabling participants to trust and go deep.

This workshop is not specifically for partners. It is designed for anyone who wishes to improve how they relate to others in any type of relationship.

An introduction to the Course’s metaphysical, psychological and spiritual teachings especially regarding relationships will be covered.

1 day Workshop – Sunday 1 Oct
9.30a.m. to 5.00p.m.

Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
- A Course in Miracles 1 day workshop

Here is the answer to your search for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a world that seems to make no sense. Here is the way to safety in apparent dangers that appear to threaten you at every turn, and bring uncertainty to all your hopes of ever finding quietness and peace. Here are all questions answered; here the end of all uncertainty ensured at last.
from A Course in Miracles Lesson 121

Using the spiritual path of A Course in Miracles we will explore how forgiveness can be one of the most powerful tools for restoring the awareness of our spiritual reality. The Course teaches that forgiveness of another is an illusion. Anything that causes us to lose our peace is pointing to something we have not forgiven in ourselves. By using the mirror of our environment we can discover what needs healing within our minds and so climb the ladder of forgiveness that leads to the realisation of the Self that God created.

The workshop will also explore the steps and challenges on our spiritual journey back home and use exercises to help clear the obstacles we have created.

An overview of the Course’s metaphysical, psychological and spiritual teachings especially in regard to forgiveness will be covered.
No previous knowledge of the book A Course in Miracles is required.

A PATH TO INNER PEACE
from the perspective of A Course in Miracles

“The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my purpose and my function and my life, while I abide where I am not at home.”
Lesson 205. A Course in Miracles

Using material from A Course in Miracles and experiential exercises we will explore how we can, with the help of spirit, remove the obstacles to our peace and joy within.

At our creation we were given peace. We have not lost it but simply covered it over with something we thought was better. Our desire to be separate, special and individual blinds us to our inner spiritual reality. Identification with our body and personality prevents the remembering of who we really are – eternal spirit.

Using the practice of forgiveness we can start to undo the blocks we have erected to the joy and peace within. Forgiveness is the path of awareness, acceptance and asking for help.

We will practise watching our minds without judgement, or as the Course puts it … (forgiveness) “merely looks, and waits and judges not.”

Opening to the Light
- from the perspective of A Course in Miracles

Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing…. It merely looks, and waits, and judges not.
A Course in Miracles W-pII.1.4.

Sat: 9.30 to 5.30
Sun: 9.30 to 4.30

The light, love and joy of God are ever present and wait only our acceptance. We need not earn them as they were freely given at our creation. Nor is sacrifice or suffering required. So why do we rarely experience the light? This workshop will look, firstly, at why we are afraid of the light and the illusions we fear to let go. Our illusions and unforgiveness stand as barriers between us and the light.

The second part of the workshop will focus on overcoming our fear through forgiveness – the path of awareness, acceptance and asking for help.

We will use material from ‘The Obstacles to Peace’ in the ACIM Text and the ‘Development of Trust’ in the Manual. Exercises will be used to help identify our illusions and fear of sacrifice so they can be healed through forgiveness. We will practise watching our minds without judgement or as the Course puts it … (forgiveness) “merely looks, and waits and judges not.”

No previous knowledge of A Course in Miracles is required but attendance at the Friday night talk would be helpful for people new to the Course.
