Welcome To The Sitting With Death And Choosing Life Programme!
Are you on a conscious healing and creative path?
If so, you know how hard it is to stay positive and peaceful amidst these turbulent times.
Overwhelm, heartbreak and burn-out are all too common, especially amongst those who care.
Grief may come in the form of losing a loved one, facing your own mortality through aging, ill health, or a near death experience, or through any number of losses that come in any human life. Or it may come as you allow yourself to receive the impact of the ecological and humanitarian crises in our world.
Along with grief you may be experiencing loss of freedoms, meaning, or even confusion in your sense of self.
Individually and collectively we are in a transformational process. As we become more aware of old stories and conditioning from the past that limit we can heal and make conscious choices.
However it comes, death, loss and grief invite you into a greater intimacy with the darker, shadow side of human nature – your own and that of our species. Grieving can open you more fully to love, longing, connection with a much bigger reality, and to the gifts and mysteries of being human.
Stay Connected With Your Inner Wisdom
Imagine the relief in letting go of the heavy burden of unresolved grief from the past and being able to move forward creatively…. becoming more self-loving, compassionate and free to express who you truly are… knowing you have a peer group who will encourage you and cheer you on.
Our online courses offer intentional group spaces, like-hearted community, simple practices and inspiring stimulus materials to support you to stay connected to your inner wisdom and innate creative guidance. So that, even through the hardest times, you develop a deep abiding trust in yourself, in the transformational process, and in Life itself.
The clear message of our times is none of us can make the essential transformations alone. We need each other and we urgently need to practice co-operation and co-creation so that we can free and focus our creative energy. When we come together in intentional groups, where everyone feels heard and held, we can discover a common language for our shared experiences, honour our differences, and move forward more easily on our chosen creative paths. As you deepen your practice of sitting with death and choosing life you realise your healing is not for you alone but you are changing consciousness and supporting generations to come.
