Welcome to the Peace, Pilgrimage and Reunion website. May God bless you and yours as you continue the quest for a deeper relationship with God our Father in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Seeing Who You Really Are Workshop

with Richard Lang

headexchange@gn.apc.org

The regular fee is £60 ($120).
Registration


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.

Praying with the Mystics Series
Make a Date with a Mystic
A Free Series and Open to the Public

Tuesdays, 7:30-9pm
January - June 2010

"When I think of mystics, I think of ordinary people living out an incredibly intimate experience of relationship with God - gifted, too, with wisdom, grace and spiritual communion. And I wonder what the message is for me in my life today."

Please join us Tuesday evenings as we immerse ourselves in the stories of fourteen ordinary men and women who led extraordinary, God-gifted lives. Learn what they have to teach us today and how their lives can still inspire and influence us.

Each evening will include an introduction to the mystic, prayer, and small group sharing. No registration necessary. Free will offerings gratefully accepted.

Patrick Cleary-Burns
Spiritual Director and Retreat Leader

Find God in all things...

Pat is a certified spiritual director and retreat leader who marvels at the profound love our God has for each of Her/His creations. He is a graduate of the Ignatian Spirituality Institute at John Carroll University and is completing his MA in Pastoral Ministry at Boston College in 2008. He is directing retreats focused on discernment this summer:

Changing jobs? Moving? Graduating? Turning 30, 40, 50 or 60? Retiring? Feeling called to action, but not sure where to go? We all face many times of transition in life. They are often bewildering.

This might be the time that you will benefit from a discernment retreat. You may not come away from the retreat with a clear answer to your dilemma, but you will leave it confident in the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit and with a clearer sense of the next steps you need to take.

Discernment is a gift of wisdom that has been passed down by the holy women and men who came before us. Practicing discernment helps us open our hearts to watch and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

A Directed Retreat provides an ideal setting for discernment. It gives us the time to find the quiet places of our heart. Pat will serve as a director on individually directed retreats at four retreat houses around the country this summer.
