Join Jim Koehneke for Workshops to Discover Who You Really Are
A 4-session workshop series to free ourselves from unconscious conditioning and help us return Home to our divine nature of the true Self: kindness, compassion, peace, and self-love.
The aim of this workshop series is to discover and release those aspects of our false nature that prevent the flow of wisdom, strength, compassion, and clarity that will enable us to "dance into a more kind, peaceful, and meaningful experience on earth. As a resource for our discussion, participants receive a 50+ page detailed workbook that includes quotes and teachings from known wisdom guides. Critically important for achieving our mission and overcoming what blocks arriving Home to our true self, the workshop series addresses how to heal false beliefs, deepen to and express our unique gifts, and provides tools for trusting life and surrendering to a life of true joy.
All sessons go from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at All Souls Interfaith Gathering, 4066 Shelburne Road, Suite 2, in Shelburne Commons (next to Archie's Grill and the Scoop).
Background
We humans have been given the freedom to choose how we want to experience life, yet our egoic thoughts and programming of never having enough tend to drive us toward “getting more” of whatever we think will satisfy us. Yet in the ever-changing flow of life experiences coming our way, short term pleasure never seems to fulfill us.
To experience longer lasting joy requires the recognition that our default perspective leads us astray and into the world of a “false self,” one consumed with judgments, beliefs, concepts, and ideas that separate us from the deeply felt Goodness that Life brings when we are without the stories and desires that the me-myself-and-I is consumed with.
When we ultimately learn to surrender to Life and come to know ourselves as the Observer of Love energy passing through our unique experience, we naturally want to share our personal gifts with others, along with our core attributes of Wholeness: Peace, Joy, and Love.
