We are the dream weavers of the Cosmos, waking up to the Living Truth.  Our bodies, our Heart of Hearts becomes one and heals the wounds of our incarnations that were deprived of Love.  

It Is Time to walk in this body, alive as Love itself, at peace and flowering with the unique seed of consciousness that each of us is. 

The Universe awaits our wondrous dance of Love and its expression.  

All will be healed as we embrace our bodies, our minds, our imagination as One. Our nighttime dreams, our daytime movements….

God bless existence itself. God bless each of our bodies for carrying us into it, too. 

We weave The Living Divine into the earthplane by Loving not just another, but our selves, too. The Missing Link in the chain of life:   YOU.

A life with the Light or the Divine as its foundation is the most profound. Deep intellect arises by not feeling the need to know, to have answers, to fix, to move into the world from the mind. The Heart is Open and Alive as Itself, and higher spiritual understandings arise that are prior to the metaphysical and psychic structures that most people access which arise within the earth’s inner dimensional structures.

Being in the world and interacting with it does not mean, automatically, that you will be in conflict with your desire to evolve spiritually. When one lives in a culture where body mind activity and constant interaction with the world is the norm, the impulse to evolve spiritually can weaken or dissipate. Wherever you put your attention that is what you become. Thus it would prove critical to understand where you put your attention and the impact it has upon your desire to open to the Living Universe.

Interaction with the world can be either a distraction to your evolutionary potential or a catalytic trigger mechanism that ignites further opening. A distraction creates dis-harmony: in your sense of self, self-love, interest in being here or in others being happy, too. It creates doubt of who you are, judgments of yourself and others increase, the creative mind weakens, more blankness and feeling stuck arises in various situations in life. The body’s breathing mechanism weakens and the body ages more quickly, genetic tendencies towards various illnesses increase, and so on.

Things which arise here, on a planet where Change is Mandatory and wired into the structure of all that is here, can help you:

SPIRAL UPWARD: move upward in the evolutionary spiral and deepen one’s Response to God, or:

REMAIN NEUTRAL: can spiral laterally, be neutral and keep one’s energy and interest distracted in ‘things that arise’ with no ultimate purpose or release with a dissipation of your life force, or:

SPIRAL DOWNWARD: create spiritual de-volution, in which one’s interest in God weakens or dissipates.

Thus, when an interaction with the world occurs which is spiritually catalytic, it creates harmony: the ability to create, express and feel open to life, self-love, love of others and support of happiness for all increases, ideas for resolving life conflicts flood in, judgments of others and yourself begin to dissipate or dissolve, deeper clarity and intelligence arise organically. The breathing mechanisms of the body move into alignment with the Cosmos and the body begins to rejuvenate; genetic tendencies towards various illnesses are reduced, and so on.

The idea is to continue to align to the catalytic events and people, etc. so that the tendency to de-volve or remain in a neutral and non-evolving life space are released permanently. This permanent transformation cannot occur by experiencing a temporary ‘opening,’ (sometimes people spend a lifetime collecting these temporary moments without profound life transformation) but a consistent and spiritually disciplined response to Life itself. It develops over time, and lower tendencies fade as you learn to put attention upon the signals of ‘ignition or distraction’ that your body so graciously and constantly receives.

You actually “know” instinctively when you are open, or closed, or neutral, spiritually! You have the capacity to sense when and how this occurs when you attend to your daily activities and life events. Your body was intricately designed to do so. The key is to understand that no one else can do this for you. You can choose to relate to life’s events in a way that creates deeper openness to Oneness, or you can choose to stray away from the clear-cut map that is wired into your body-mind.

So, the choice in this realm is up to you: by nurturing what brings balance, ease, pleasure and openness to you, you will begin to feel the natural impulse to evolve into Oneness. And this Oneness will eventually flood into your existence, permanently transforming all that you have been or will be.

            Step into the life that was your right from birth, see your life unfold as it is meant to! One that is radiantly alive, peaceful, happy and creative, with God/Universe as your Primary Identity. It is never too late to do so, as the illusion of time is released when you let go into the Essence of the Universe: Love incarnate in all its multitudinous forms. Learning to Feel what everything is, and not thinking about, it transforms your life into the happy aliveness of just being you, exploring the edges of being Love and its expression. You are, literally, the incarnation of “Aliveness.” No one can take that from you. Learn to rest in it, be it. You are Love.

Sometimes the winds of life can make it seem as though we cannot communicate when it is just that we are temporarily ungrounded!  Its is not that we cannot communicate, it is that we have to SLOW DOWN and feel ourselves rooted in the earth.  Slowness begins one of the most simple and powerful healing processes in life.  Take a few deep breaths and begin your healing moment for today!

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING DEEP IN THE SPIRITUAL STRUCTURES OF THE WORLD, slightly outside our conscious perception.  It is magical and points to the beginnings of waking up and directly opening to what is beyond our everyday lives: the Living, spiritual structure that allows us to be here.

DURING THIS EXPANDED SPIRITUAL RETREAT, Brenda will be sharing through meditation, direct insight and dialogue on a group and individual basis.  This is unlike any retreat she has offered in the past, as the focus will be more on enhancing spiritual unfoldment through heartfelt exploration.  This will be a personal discovery process to help catalyze spiritual movement without denying real individuality.

TIME WILL BE SET ASIDE for self-reflection and understanding through group and individual activities.  There will be gentle and compassionate attention to your body, mind, and emotional and spiritual awarenesses to ignite a deeper, peaceful and embodied presence for your spiritual unfoldment.

COME EXPLORE the awakening process of embodied existence that embraces both divine and human experience.  The body-mind is an expression of the living spirit and is not trivial just because it is temporary.  It is not something to “get rid of” or “get out of.”  The interplay between the divine field and your body-mind is the key to embodied existence.  Your life matters not just because you exist, but because your presence and your personal life expression is the Living Spirit incarnate.  This is the true purpose of existence.

Mid Day Breaks + Lunch Provided + Saturday Dinner

Delicious, nourishing meals & snacks will be served during your retreat. Our menu is prepared with simple, natural ingredients with an emphasis on health, flavor & balance.

YOU!

What a wonder, what a wonder you are!

Here you are, reading this.  As I write these words, they come forth, arising with a sense of orderliness from “somewhere” within and perhaps outside of me, then put into other shapes by using my fingers to touch or say some “thing,” putting other shapes on what looks like paper but is nothing more than a floating hologram which puts them into another shape for you to read!  My “thoughts” which are not a solid object such as a stone, are transferred to other shapes, then travel through the air and arrive where you are anywhere in the world.  And then you see them right in front of you, they register inside you, and your eyes, brain, etc., translate them, and then fit them together to sense something that started “over here” within me as thought bubbles, and you create your own pattern of thought bubbles, interpreting it uniquely.  If that is not one of the most profound magic tricks in the Universe, I don’t know what is!!!

What a wonder.

The physical plane is quite magical when we slow down to feel the awe of even existing, being able to organize and send a perception to another somewhere out in the ethers, let alone all the other things we can do, sense or think.  How does this all happen?  What finely tuned structures, elegantly developed for us to “use” these are!  They were born before we were, before we come to exist here, and we ‘slide into them’ when we are arrive and we leave them when we let go of it all at the end of our lives.

We truly do not know what anything is or where it comes from. We cannot think ourselves into knowing it.  It is a mystery, one that has been with us throughout all of time.

SLOWNESS and being able to pause, and rest with our ” perceptual tools” to sense-feel what we are ‘in’ is divinely magical.  And to even be able to sense-feel at all, what is that all about?!  Look at you, reading this, moving a construction of cells we call eyes, absorbing the shapes!  Look at you, it goes somewhere in your head and you “do something” with it and then create shapes of thoughts that are apparently not even stored in your head!

What is this, what is existence?!!!  

And: where is this all going on, where is this happening, where are we ‘doing’ this, spinning in space, going very fast somewhere, thousands of miles per hour?!

And while we are talking about it:  what is love in the first place, something everyone wishes to feel as much as possible, and what heals everything… What is that?!!!

Ands look at you!   Pre-assembled to explore, with such profound mechanisms and tools at your disposal.

All for free.  A gift from what is Unknown.  A body and mind.  Add to this the Earth, another magical, wondrous form for our Living Pleasure…  What an absolute, magical, amazing wonder that we even exist.

Enjoy your gift of living today, right now, the  present moment.  Seems like a wonderful idea; it’s all yours anyhow!

Love it, embrace it, explore love and its expression with your own personally-manufactured-for-you body mind, never duplicated, waiting to be you…as you tell it what to do.

Feel the wonder that you can look, move, think, love, feel, do anything at all, from the simple act of reaching for something – which is, in itself, an unbelievable feat! – to sensing that you even exist!

Now THAT is an unbelievable Gift. The awe of existing, and, being you.

What a wonder you are.
