Mary Magdalene Revealed

A Love That Changes Everything

Meggan Watterson, Traci S. Jackson, and Jake Wesley Rogers Course 3502-708/Tuition $425 ($380 Members) SS

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was ordered to be destroyed in the fourth century. Why? Mary’s gospel reveals a transformational power that exists within all of us, no matter who we are.

Mary's gospel challenged the patriarchal structure of the Roman Empire. These scriptures reveal a movement in the first centuries after Christ that refused to participate in a belief system that suggested any one of us could be greater than the other.

To find this transformational power, all we need to do is turn inward; to meditate, in the way Mary’s gospel directs.

Through lecture and lively discussion, powerful music, and practice of the SoulVoice meditation, we discover the secret teachings Christ gave to Mary and why they’re so radical even today.

Return home with a personal experience of the love Mary's gospel reveals, a love that changes everything.

Join this workshop from home with Omega online learning.

COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS MENTORSHIP

Developing Intuitives, Psychics & Mediums

Candace Dalton

Course 3502-069/Tuition $400 ($360 Members) LE

Have you ever felt a deeper sense of intuition? Have you ever wondered if you have the link that can connect you to the spirit world? Maybe you’ve seen visions of the past, present, and future for others?

As humans, our powerful minds can override our intuition. It can be di cult to tell what’s good and bad—and what’s right from wrong. Life can steer us away from trusting our intuition—it’s time to claim that innate power you were born with.

If you are curious and yearning for enlightenment and wisdom, join medium Candace Dalton as she guides you in developing your potential psychic and mediumship abilities through meditation, exercises, partner work, and selfdiscovery practices.

Designed to mentor interested or developing intuitives, psychics, and mediums, this weekend retreat helps you hone your skills in a supportive community of like-minded people.

LETTING THE DIVINE FEMININE TAKE THE LEAD!

Tosha Silver

Course 3502-812/Tuition $395 ($355 Members) SS Named Kali, Lakshmi, Mother Mary, or countless other names, consciousness of the Goddess is arising across the planet, author Tosha Silver says, and the very turbulence of our times is birthing her within hearts everywhere. But what does it mean to let the divine feminine take the lead? Is it trusting that somehow she’ll save the day? Or begging for all our wishes to come true?

Instead, Tosha says, it’s an invocation to the highest, greatest parts of ourselves. It flings open all the doors to Spirit. It invites the inner goddess to take us over, lead the way, and reveal needed actions. It brings courage and clarity we might never have otherwise.

For many years Tosha has taught ways to let the divine feminine lead. Practices of genuine o ering, surrender, and gratitude are meant for these volatile times. Join Tosha and o er yourself to the power of the goddess within.

Tosha Silver, author of Outrageous Openness, Change Me Prayers, and It’s Not Your Money, has taught people around the world practical ways to align with inner love. toshasilver.com

The Foundation of All Healing Relationships

When going through a di cult time, most of us long for a sense of connection, for being with someone who really cares what we are going through and can stay present with us.

Bessel van der Kolk and Licia Sky Course 3605-015/Tuition $585 ($525 Members) LE

Trauma changes the way our brains process information and how our bodies engage with the world. It makes people afraid to know what they know and feel what they feel.

In this workshop, we explore how many of us who are traumatized continue to be trapped by history and react to current experiences in a myriad of ways as a replay of the past. Throughout the week, we explore ways to break the cycles of reenactment and su ering, and learn to represent and befriend our inner experience.

Therapies that work all start from a basic sense of calm and safety. We study and experience the capacity of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), yoga, Internal Family Systems, sensorimotor practices, theater work, and neurofeedback to help overcome a traumatic past and regain the capacity to be fully alive in the present.

AWAKENING MEDITATIONS

Ric Weinman

Course 3702-039/Tuition $335 ($300 Members)

Guided by the founder of VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing, Ric Weinman, you work with several meditations intended to guide you deeper into the core of your own being and help you shed layers of egoic identity. These kinds of meditations are not designed for relaxation, but rather to help you move through the construct of what you have experienced and identified with as “self” and awaken into a deeper reality.

Facilitating awakening requires more than sharing awakening concepts and leading guided meditations. True facilitation also involves actively and directly bridging others into the awake space residing within themselves— the space where “I” disappears into something vaster and beyond mind.

Ric Weinman has been facilitating awakening with his VortexHealing students for more than 20 years, utilizing the divine presence and intelligence within that lineage, and the bridging it facilitates.

Being Human Takes Practice

A Meditation Retreat for Open-Minded Explorers & Fidgety Skeptics

Jeff Warren Course 3902-705 Tuition $395 ($355 Members)

Explore what meditation teaches us about being human. It teaches us about resistance and overthinking, about humor and mercy, about healing stuck emotions and expanding stuck views. All this and more happens when we sit and get quiet. It also happens when we sit and don’t get quiet. So, all neurotic brains welcome!

The main teacher is meditation itself, which has a way of organizing the nervous system all on its own. We also learn from other people's reports of their experiences, insights, and challenges through sharing and discussion.

Every kind of experience can happen on the cushion—our internal processes are as distinct as our fingerprints. The goal is for everyone to return home with a clear understanding of why they meditate, and a clear feeling for their own strange and beautiful practice.

The Astrology of Intimacy Where Two Skies Touch

Steven Forrest

Course 4005-866/Tuition $450 ($405 Members)

What light can astrology shed on human intimacy? Can it help us sort out the lasting truth from the kinds of relationship mistakes that leave scars on our hearts?

Explore love from three perspectives, guided by evolutionary astrologer Steven Forrest. First, there is the message of the individual birth chart. What are you learning and who can help you learn it? Second, we learn how charts interact through interaspects—someone else’s Venus squares your Saturn, for example. Third, we learn to read the message of the composite chart, which blends two people’s charts together by calculating the midpoint between their planets.

In evolutionary astrology, our language is psychological, but the background is metaphysical: The language of reincarnation is used where appropriate, and techniques for discerning the prior-life dynamics behind any relationship are analyzed.

Join the Monday sessions from home with Omega online learning.

Sandrine Harris

Course 4005-904/Tuition $440 ($395 Members) SS MARROW—like the potent marrow of our bones—is a generative experience of unearthing aliveness. It is a process of unlearning patterns of thinking and moving that have been forged unconsciously over time, often from outside messages. It is an invitation into quiet internal exploration, meaningful conversations, personal writing, sensory movement, and meditation for waking up to our human experience.

Through a weave of somatics (body sensing and process), embodiment (presence of the layers of mind, heart, and body), and meditation (in both movement and stillness), we integrate qualities of the living we are in, and out of the push of doing. Together, we forge a path connecting our inner landscapes with belonging—in community and within the natural world.

Elements of MARROW include Feldenkrais® somatics, applications from interpersonal neurobiology and Somatic Experiencing®, liberatory movement, guided meditations, restorative rest, creative mark-making on paper, and forest bathing.

Workshop begins Sunday at 7:15 p.m. No experience is necessary, and this program uses a trauma-sensitive approach. The final evening includes an energizing movement party and bonfire.

Learn to Let It Be Acceptance

There is so much that is unacceptable in our world. And yet, the first task of change is accepting things just as they are. It’s a paradox, and it’s a ripe place for practice. If we want to spark transformation—in ourselves, in our relationships, and on this planet—we begin (and end) with letting be. To practice true acceptance and equanimity,

Uncertain Times

Course 4102-898/Tuition $410/360/260 ($325 Members) SS

The ancient people of Mexico called the world “slippery slick,” referencing their view of the world as an unstable place. As we experience unsteadiness in modern times, how can we anchor ourselves and regain our peace, purpose, and joy?

We do it by rooting—rooting back into nature, our ancestry, and the truth of who we really are before the world told us who we should be. Under the guidance of curanderismo practitioner Robyn Moreno and guest teachers, we explore ancient and timeless practices for finding our way home again.

During this experiential and heart-opening weekend, we root in support of our sisterhood through movement, meditation, sharing circles, inspired journaling, connecting to nature, and sacred ritual.

Yoga is an ancient practice designed to support us in meeting whatever might arise, moment to moment. In this 5-day immersion, explore how we can engage in spiritual practice to meet the personal and collective su ering we experience.

Join spiritual teacher and author of Illuminating Our True Nature, Michelle Cassandra Johnson, for a weeklong immersion focused on freeing ourselves from su ering. Explore the five root causes of su ering, as presented in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras :

• Avidya—a lack of clear sight

• Asmita—an overidentification with the ego

• Raga—an attachment to pleasure

• Dvesha—aversion or avoidance

• Abhinivesha—fear of death or letting go

Throughout our time, we move through various practices, including asana, pranayama, meditation, mudra, and mantra to meet ourselves and our su ering and, ultimately, to mitigate su ering and create conditions for liberation for ourselves and all beings.

All levels are welcome. Continuing education (CE) credits available through Yoga Alliance.

EARTH DEMOCRACY

Awakening to the Living Earth Our Fellow Beings

Vandana Shiva Course 4205-734/Tuition $495/445/345 ($400 Members)

Earth Democracy is both an ancient worldview and an emergent political movement for peace, justice, and sustainability, says environmental activist Vandana Shiva.

Join Vandana in this 5-day retreat and explore how the regeneration of the earth starts with the understanding that we are members of an interrelated earth family, living in symbiotic relationship, grounded in reverence, respect, and gratitude.

The destruction of the earth’s life-supporting systems is rooted in a deadearth worldview that the earth is empty and inert and can be exploited for profit.

Through lecture and discussion, Vandana shares how the principle of Earth Democracy allows us to remove our blinders and imagine and create other possibilities—viewing the earth as a commons instead of private property.

Earth Democracy has a planetary reach and a planetary embrace. We have just begun to tap our potential for transformation and liberation, Vandana says.
