Cultivating Consciousness and Authentic Love in Relationship
Cultivating Consciousness and Authentic Love in Relationship
Date: September 25, 2011 10 am – 6 pm
Key AspectsA highly experiential and transformational workshop using inner work, self-inquiry, didactic learning, breathing, inner journeys, the Enneagram, movie clips, movement, meditation and guidance.
Mystics and Quantum Physicists say everything in existence is in relationship with everything else. Conscious committed interpersonal relationships – significant others, friendships and parent/child – offer possibilities for experiencing and embodying this truth. Conscious relationship can facilitate integral awakening, including deep satisfaction of human needs, healing and actualization of psyches, evolving wisdom, and Realization of True Self.

Much of what people call Love is negotiation, contract, illusion, or grasping for certainty or sensation of aliveness. Fixated psyches create symbiosis, dependency, polarization, power negotiation, imago formation, and projection. This blocks the realization of authentic love with it’s connection, spaciousness, freedom, holding, liberation and contact.
Every person has an inherent and effortless gift of authentic love that is present even in pathological states. Using the Enneagram we can become aware of the nine distinct gifts of authentic love. Every person can learn to cultivate and embody all nine gifts and ways of loving from Essence. In fixation we relate from deficiency, and look to relationship for completion. Authentic love, which the nine gifts co-create, mature us into recognizing and choosing real love. This profoundly impacts every aspect of relationships, including sexuality and provides fertile, nourishing environments for each person to awaken consciously.
This experiential workshop will explain each type’s inherent gift of love, including examples from movie clips, real life and poetry. There will be examples of how in the presence of authentic love neural wiring, related to sexuality and self-preservation patterns, can be transformed. We will take two experiential journeys using breath, guided imagery, movement, music and meditation. The first journey is through each of the nine gifts, with corresponding kinesthetic movements or cues, emotional expressions, core thought of wisdom and spiritual experiences. The second journey applies the learning to relationship with a Beloved (friend, partner, child, God, etc.)
