Join Neil and Robert for a 3-day retreat on SOUL PURPOSE
Description: 

Join Neil and Robert for a 3-day retreat on SOUL PURPOSE. Together they will present a rich tapestry of teachings, practices, meditations, and prayers for living a purpose-centered life. They will draw on inspiration from the Aramaic Jesus, from the gnostic gospels, from Sufi mysticism, the sacred Beatitudes, from A Course in Miracles, from poet Kahlil Gibran, from St. Francis of Assisi, from the Original Blessing of Matthew Fox, and much more.

Over three days, Neil and Robert will present nine 90-minute sessions. Each session will have a focus to help you to explore your life’s purpose using a three-layered approach of psychology, spirituality, and mysticism.

                

Themes covered include:

Jesus, the way shower – exploring the teachings of the Aramaic Jesus and how they can help uncover our purpose as human beings today.

The Way of Mysticism – what it means to be a mystic, and working with a three-fold path of mystic, prophet, and activist.

On Universal Inspiration – breathing in inspiration, receiving guidance, and aligning the individual self with the Universal Self

Stone, Water and Wine – an ancient blueprint to help you deepen your experience of living a purpose-centered life

Blessings and Beatitudes – exploring the sacred code and the depth process of the Beatitudes to help you reawaken your joy.

The Parable of the Vine – pruning, growing, and ripening into presence. A vision of inter-connection and profound support.

A New Way to Pray – working with the power of prayer, with words and without, to experience a greater sense of guidance, inspiration, and purpose.

Ordained by Love – Straightening out the self with love. Becoming a loving presence in the world.

 

Soul Purpose is for a maximum of 100 people. It is designed to be an intimate and spacious retreat, with plenty of time for journaling, conversation, practices, and Q&A. The Alternatives Team and members of Robert Holden’s team will be on hand throughout the weekend to support you.
