PETER RUSSELL WORKSHOP - Day One

Explore the essence of spiritual awakening and its relevance to our lives today with a leading thinker on consciousness and contemporary spirituality.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the crises facing us are, at their root, a crisis of consciousness. We are being called to let go of self-centered, materialist ways of thinking and open to the wisdom of our true nature.

As numerous mystics, saints, rishis, and lamas have discovered, beneath our everyday consciousness, with its hopes, fears, plans and concerns, lies the natural mind, untarnished by the stories we tell ourselves and the roles we play. Here, in touch with our true self, we find the ease and happiness that we have yearned for.

Drawing on Eastern and Western models of the mind, Peter will explore such questions as: What is consciousness? How has it evolved? The full significance of our times. The heart of the world's spiritual teachings? How we can open to the peace, love, and freedom that lie within? And what do we really mean by "I"?
