Consciousness, Energy and the Matrix of Personal and Global Reality: How we can consciously design our personal and collective futures
Announcing a unique workshop-retreat at Montesueños-Vilcabamba, January 16-21, 2011, facilitated by Jay Schumacher, Brian O’Leary, Caroline Willcock and Meredith Miller
“There is only one revolution tolerable to all (people), all societies, all political systems: revolution by design and invention.” – Buckminster Fuller
“Know thyself and thou shall be free.” “Knowledge is power.”
Montesueños is the perfect mountainside garden setting for a unique retreat that will celebrate and nourish solutions rather than problems. Our intent is for participants to become more effective agents of personal and planetary transformation.
We find ourselves in the (twenty) eleventh hour of humanity’s personal fragmentation, cultural violence and environmental decay. While this is indeed a profound crisis, we have before us unprecedented opportunities to begin anew in spite of it all. And time is of the essence!
We as individuals, and the civilization we have created, lose direction when immersed in distracting and unfocused activities that sap personal integrity, creativity, joy and collaborative potential. Lost in the cacophony of conflicting agendas, we and our society need to regain a sense of vision.
As a workshop participant, you will receive clear, concise and comprehensive tools that empower you to shift your personal reality and regain your vision, which will shift the collective reality of our group and, by the principles of physics, our society and civilization at large.
This experiment in co-facilitation will blend the talents of two accomplished teachers of consciousness along with their equally talented wives. Jay Schumacher, master hypnotherapist, transformational life and business coach, re-educator of the mind and spiritual counselor, will work with the depths of each participant’s personal reality using proven tools, such as:
How to take personal inventories and watch our minds;
- How to easily drop into deep states of consciousness as well as how to use such states for highly beneficial purposes;
- How to shift ourselves from a focus on survival to one on creation;
- How to shift a life driven by the “veil of illusion” (e.g., bottom line, vanity, avoidance, approval and convenience) to one focused on self-healing and effective action in the community, nation and planet;
- How to use the power of intention to create miracles of change; and
- How to team up with kindred souls to produce synergistic results for groups and society.
Caroline Willcock will teach breathing and yoga exercises during the workshop as well as facilitate smaller groups during breakouts or individuals having special needs. Meredith will take us on a visual journey through fifty years as a full-time artist and will lead a tour of her and Brian’s three-dimensional canvas Montesueños as an example of a consciously evolving design process.
Dr. Brian O’Leary, internationally known scientist, practical visionary, longtime teacher, author and researcher of consciousness science, new energy technologies and transformational psychology, will lead the group in asking the questions:
- What are the design requirements for a peaceful, sustainable and just world?
- What is the scientific evidence for consciousness and the power of the mind to produce physically tangible outcomes?
- What kind of world do you want?
- What’s your part in co-creating that?
- What are the relative roles of altruism and personal gain in your co-creation?
- What’s your commitment, knowing that the universe rewards action?
To assist us in our journey through individual and collective consciousness, we will explore:
- What is consciousness and how can a deeper understanding empower each of us to become designers of a new paradigm;
- Personal stories of how synchronicities and positive changes happen when we’re conscious;
- Scientific evidence (e.g., quantum mechanics, remote healing) that our intention and consciousness can heal ourselves and our world;
- Skype teleconferences with inspirational leaders of personal and planetary transformation.
This unprecedented workshop will be an in-depth experience for all of us, its intent to support our selves and one another in self-awareness and correct action. We can heal our bodies, our lives and our planet.
