OCTOBER 3rd - 8th -- Conscious Relationship Training Module 3 ~ Conscious Living, Infinite Loving

Course description:
Conscious Relationship Training course is a profound inquiry into the nature of love and relationship, exploring relationship at every level - with self, with life, within partnership and intimacy. Going beyond the basis of counselling or therapy (which focus on 'past', where the individual needs healing) and the promise of coaching (which facilitates 'future' through life purpose and vision) Conscious Relationship Training takes one into the core of what a true human being is and beyond it. In this place the individual connects with the deep insight, profound love, free-flowing inspiration & passion for life that are our birthright.

Conscious Relationship Training takes you beyond counselling & beyond coaching, connecting you with the original authenticity of a human being.

"I am loving every minute of this course. It is radically deep and engaging" Pam, current Course participant

Please note: Participants need to undertake Module 1, Into the Deep ~ Relationship with self & Module 2 ~ Cultivating Love, Myself in Relationship, prior to this course. These are being held in Auckland over 2 weekends in August.

Course Facilitator: Cassandra Eve
Cassandra Eve is Director of relationship service Deeper than Dating, an organization that actively promotes conscious relationship. Cassandra is totally inspired by the potential to change our culture through the challenge & transformation of all relationship, in particular through intimacy. When we recognise that humanity is in an evolutionary process from emotional to authentic love we see the responsibility & power for a significant revolution in consciousness is in our own hands. Having experienced this directly in her own life, Cassandra is a catalyst for profound change & the integration of conscious awareness through her courses. She brings insight, compassion and core honesty to whatever she touches. With 18 years experience of working. with the transformation of the individual, Cassandra has a vast knowledge of the complexity of relationship and its many faces.

NOVEMBER 1st - 2nd -- WISDOM KEEPER'S SCHOOL

The fourth session of the 2008 Wisdom Keeper's School will be held at Aio Wira on November 1-2. This intake of the School is fully subscribed, but we are now taking bookings for the 2009 School which will begin early next year.
The Wisdomkeepers School offers a yearlong training, over six weekends, in the ways of the shaman. Each of the six parts of the training will include presentations, meditations, journeying, experiential exercises, ceremony, transmissions, and personal healing work.
You will develop your awareness of your "body of light" and your relationship with the forces of nature. You will experience the shaman's ways of seeing, and you will practice and use shamanic trance states for healing and divination.
You will track the ancient pathways to living consciously and you will remember that we are the dream makers, dreaming the world into being and co-creating the future we want our children's children to inherit.
You will be initiated into the ancient ways of the earth's practical mystics, focusing on the medicine teachings of the Americas, north and south. You will learn experientially to be in balance and to walk in beauty; to fly faster to your life's purpose.
You will practice in community, for community, to become Earth keepers and Wisdom keepers, now and in the time to come.
