The Headless Way offers you a practical, user-friendly way to see Who you really are. This method was developed by the philosopher Douglas Harding. At the heart of this approach are the Experiments - awareness exercises that guide your attention directly to your deepest identity. Visit our web site for more information.
|
|
Seeing Who You Really Are
Who are you really? Richard Lang will guide you through experiments invented by the philosopher Douglas Harding. These experiments test an amazing claim about you - at centre you are absolutely different from what you appear to be from a distance. From several metres you are human, but at centre you are not – you are Awake No-thing that is capacity for everything. Put in more traditional language, in appearance you are human but in reality you are divine. Your True Identity is God, Buddha-Nature, the One Self – choose your name! Richard will not ask you to believe this – he will invite you actually to look into your centre for yourself to see if this claim about you is true. And he will show you how to look into your centre so that you can, during this workshop, see your True Nature. This discovery can change your life. When you see Who you really are, you become one with the Source of all things. What greater discovery is there than this?
 Richard Lang first discovered Who he really is when he attended a workshop with Douglas Harding in 1970. Since then he has devoted his life both to staying awake to his True Nature and to sharing Harding’s experiments that make so available this profoundest of discoveries. He has two books published - Seeing Who You Really Are and Open To The Source. He has written and compiled the content for the website www.headless.org He lives in London, co-ordinating the Shollond Trust – the UK charity set up to share this work. He also works as a psychotherapist, and teaches Tai Chi and Five Rhythms Dance.

Rolling Ridge Study Retreat
FALL -- Trust and Surrender

These four quiet days during the year offer you the opportunity to rest in the beauty of Creation's varied seasons. They are a time apart to look and see, listen and hear in new ways.

Leader: Trish Stefanik, contemplative artist and retreat leader, is a resident at Rolling Ridge and member of St. Agnes Catholic Church.
Each day is 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Advance registration is necessary. No cost, donations welcome. Please bring a bag lunch. For more information contact Trish at tstefanik@aol.com or call 304-725-4301.

The Mid-Atlantic Pathwork® Presents:
MAKING CONNECTION
STEPPING OUT OF SEPARATION
Saturday August 14 9:30AM – 5:30PM
Mechanicsville, Virginia
Led by Julia Jensen, Pathwork Helper
Assisted by Stanley King, Apprentice Helper
|
|
|
|
To find fulfillment we must learn the skill of connection. Instead of connecting we find ourselves often returning to old patterns that keep us in isolation and in fear. Join us in exploring how to risk letting ourselves be vulnerable enough to actually connect to another human being.
This workshop may include Pathwork lectures, ritual, core energetic movement, meditation, or prayer. Join us in experiencing the joy of opening to another person.
Julia Jensen is a Pathwork Helper, a certified Healer, and a member of the Sevenoaks faculty in the Pathwork Transformation Program. In her practice near Richmond, Virginia, she works with individuals, couples, and groups, both in-person and phone sessions. The Pathwork is a spiritual path that guides those who seek to deepen connections with each other and with their spirituality. Julia believes in opening to the light that lives within each person.
Stanley King served as a Substance Abuse Counselor and Counseling Center Director while in the Marine Corps. He has enjoyed twenty years of recovery, which has allowed him to full engage life with vigor and passion. He is an apprentice Helper and teacher in the Pathwork Transformation Program.
This group is sponsored by the Mid-Atlantic Pathwork. The Pathwork® is a registered service mark owned exclusively by the Pathwork Foundation. It is used here with the permission of the Foundation. The mark may not be used without the express written permission from the Pathwork Foundation.
Cost: $75
To register or for questions call Julia at (804) 781-0660
