The Wisdom Collaborative Feast™

– A Gathering Over a One-Year Period
Constellating Elegant Growth and Change in Consciousness

“Either you will go through this door or you will not go through.” - Adrienne Rich

 

Beginning in March 2010 and continuing through May 2011 I will convene an ongoing gathering of hearts and minds bent on awakening and becoming. I am convening nine sessions over a period of twelve months at the Old Siskiyou Barn South of Ashland, OR. I am convening five sessions over a fifteen month period at Governor’s Beach, Cyprus. There was a time when I would have referred to this offering as a training seminar. Recently I have come to appreciate these gatherings as a moveable feast.

Ernest Hemingway’s posthumously published memoirs A Moveable Feast states, “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man [or woman], then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” So, too, in the Wisdom Collaborative community formed, the changes, sweetness and heartening experiences and expressions will stay with you the rest of your life.

During our time together we will honor the ideologies of our individual cultures, education, training and experience and set them aside. In their stead we will open to the ineffable knowing fields – Fields of Wisdom – the intangible realities of life in which we individually and collectively exist, subsist and live. We will learn to proceed in our healing, awakening and becoming from the Mystery’s Wisdom rather than from human understanding.

Our gathering is firstly one of honorably and elegantly healing and growing oneself. Opening oneself to love. We will revel in the Mystery’s guidance and nurturance addressing whatever one desires to heal, resolve, clear and reconcile. Those desiring to learn how to facilitate various forms of constellations, whether group or individual, will do so.

We will move toward the alignment of the opposites within and between us. Our feast will nurture the opening of heart and mind. Our purposes:

  • Opening self to the Mystery’s natural movements of love and strength.
  • Furthering individual and collective healing and reconciliation.
  • Taking one’s place in family, on the Earth, in the Mystery, with life circumstance – and moving into alignment with one’s purpose and destiny.
  • Fostering whole, present, open, strong, clear, light, full, robust kind-heartedness.
  • Embodying one’s individual authority, clarity and strength while expressing and living one’s true nature – love, compassion and human kindness.
  • Integrating one’s Divine feminine and masculine natures.
  • Learning to facilitate constellations: personal, spiritual, family, organizational and business.
  • Living one’s own life rather than another’s.
  • Shifting a prosaic existence into a poetic life.

During this feast we will take sustenance from NLP, practices of Andean Mysticism, Hellinger Family Constellations, Hellinger’s Movements of the Soul, Hellinger’s Organizational Constellations; and, my work in the Fields of Grace® – Systems of the Human Heart.

Commitment:

There is an exchange in all things whether arising at the same or another moment in time, whether recognized or not. Constellations reveal, as do the mystical practices of Earth-based peoples, that reciprocal exchange and movement toward and into balance is the nature of life and the Mystery.

So, too, exchanges arise with the Wisdom Collaborative. What is being asked of you?
  • Your integrity, commitment, participation, time and money.
  • Your courage and self-compassion.
  • Your integrity and honor – the commitment of your heart to attend, be present and stay the course keeping your agreements or honorably renegotiating them if necessary.
  • Your full participation.
  • Your time: for new participants: 15 days. Returning participants:
  • The fees for the sessions and what that requires of you.
  • Consenting to and walking through the doorways opened will require courage and self-compassion.

What is available in return? Opened doors to healing, reconciliation, awakening, becoming, and movement into living poetic life that is your own.

This is an intact program. The nature of our work requires – for the most part – THAT A CORE GROUP REMAIN AND WORK TOGETHER DURING THE COURSE OF THE FEAST. Registering to participate in this feast constitutes a commitment to attend and pay for all sessions. It is understood that one may of necessity choose to miss a bit and this will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
