Discovering Your Life's Purpose Awakening the Mind with Visionary Art and Exploration of Consciousness in France
From Saturday, May 19 through Saturday, May 26, 2012 All you need is an open mind...Advanced Awakened Mind techniques are based on stabilizing the brainwave patterns, integrating both hemispheres of the brain, balancing the energy centers of the body, exploring the potentials of multiple universes, which can co-exist with what is apparent in our current reality, and other powerful ancient and modern cutting-edge tools harnessing the powers of the subconscious part of our minds. Description of Awakening the Mind Workshop activities:Learn how to communicate with your deeper, creative mind, learn how to release stuck emotions of the past, how to achieve the balance and congruence that enables manifestation of your most powerful, genius self, who can do anything you dream about. You owe it to yourself to take this week of spa/retreat/art-playshop/travel/adventure/transformational meditations assisted by EEG neurofeedback and heart rhythm biofeedback monitoring for health and high-performance. Charming, 400 year old stone farmhouse and barn are comfortably remodeled for our stay!We have the special privilege of one of the best and renowned Thangka painting artists, Nada Stone (who has studied with Himalayan masters for over 25 years)who will lead workshop participants of all skill levels on a journey of discovery. Through studying, drawing and sculpting sacred images, participants will begin to develop a sense of inner calm and concentration. The ancient symbols consist of eight auspicious signs that have been developed for centuries in Buddhist art. These signs are known to help achieve asense of good luck, but also harmony, happiness and inner freedom.Nada will also be leading you in the self-discovery process while sculpting with clay which will then be fired in her kiln so the pieces are finished to return home with you.Each day the art projects will help you in finding expressions which symbolize the inner journeys you will take while exploring the realm of ancient, 30,000 year old artwork with which you will have ample time, absorbing the energies of those prehistoric artists when we go visit their work in the caverns which lie all around the area of the quaint, yet luxurious retreat center owned by Nada. We will create an Awakened Mind state with the latest brain wave technology and then use this state to discover your hidden creativity and practice the arts which unfold to uncover your life's purpose, and experience joy in living. When your true life 's purpose is understood the rest of your life falls into place like iron fillings around a magnet. You will awaken each day to enjoy stretching or meditating with the sunrise over the beautiful, green countryside, an early swim in the pool if desired, and throughout the day there will be 3 wonderful gourmet meals by a French country chef. Then we will be taken through each step in the practice of Awakening your mind with guided meditations, followed by excursions in the vans to experience the Forgotten Caves of Dordognes, old chateaus, ancient cliff dwellings, walks and hikes, country inns, and art projects of self discovery.
