Coming Home to Your Authentic Self: A Book Study Class on Spiritual Liberation
by Michael Bernard Beckwith
Facilitated by Rev. Katherine Revoir

Rev. Michael defines Authentic Self as “…our inherently enlightened state, what the Buddhists call our original face and Christians define as soul.” In this 8-week class we will study Spiritual Liberation as a guide for living in joy and harmony with all aspects of our life.

The many mystical teachings are in plain English, and in this fun and informal class, Rev. Katherine offers tools for you to ignite a deeper dimension of your being.

Using right-brained plexercises (play exercises) and your inherent wisdom, you will:

• Set intentions for what you want to create, release, or transform, and then use weekly creative visuals that support your process.
• Drop dependency on the world as your source, coming home to your internal chamber to access everything you need.
• Explore, develop or deepen your spiritual practice, including prayer, play, meditation, pondering, and down time.

When and Where: 8 Wednesdays, January 20 – March 10, 6:30-9:00pm, at our Sausalito classroom.

Cost: The registration is $60 and an agreement to share (tithe) 10% of UNexpected income during the course, plus the cost of the book Spiritual Liberation ($26).

Register: Please sign up early, as there are intentions to set before the first class. Call Katherine at 415 381-9161 (email KatherineQ@RicherLiving.org).

This class is solely Rev. Katherine’s interpretation of the principles from Spiritual Liberation.

Planting Your Seeds: An Intentions Playshop for 2010
Saturday, January 9, 10:00am-4:00pm
Unity in Marin, Novato

The Universe is a “YES” machine, but it needs something to say yes to. When we make a plan, we are primarily using our logical and analytical left-brain. With a plan in place, we can more easily use our right brain, which allows us more creativity and an easier access to our intuition. You are invited fire up BOTH sides of your brain and kick off the New Year with a fun playshop where we will use a spiritual perspective to give our brain a plan, and plant the seeds of our wildest dreams for 2010.

We will also:

• Set goals, but more importantly, we’ll identify our deepest intent and allow IT to be the foundation of our goals and intentions.
• Joyfully express our spontaneous, multi-dimensional selves through movement, games, and creative play.
• Hobnob with a delightful community of metaphysicians
• Delight in our innate creative selfr-expression
• Enjoy a delicious lunch that we bring for ourselves

This class is a joint venture of Center for Richer Living and Unity in Marin.

If you’ve ever felt the need to fix or change others, then judged them, and then wondered why you felt angry, invisible, or unappreciated, then you were probably on the Victim Triangle. The three stations of the triangle are Rescuer, Persecutor, and Victim (aka Hero, Villain, Victim). This playshop will teach you a proactive approach for transforming any cycle of negative ego into the Win-win Circle, where non-judgment, forgiveness, and spiritual self-care prevail.

Here you make a shift from being dependent on outside sources for power and fulfillment to relying on your own sense of Self.

Using creative visuals, role-playing, and group discussion, you will:

• Identify the behaviors of the triangle and transform them from Victim to Win-win
• Learn the difference between giving from the heart and giving from obligation.
• Learn tools for staying open and receptive to grow from any situation
• Become more loving by setting clear boundaries with yourself and others.
• “The surest way to make ourselves crazy is to get involved in other people’s business, & the quickest way to become sane & happy is to tend to our own affairs.” Melody Beattie

What Is Physical Healing and What’s In It For ME?
Facilitated by Marinda Freeman, RScP

Physical healing is an inside job.  The foundation of healing is doing the inner work to know who you truly are as an empowered spiritual being.  This understanding is what allows for healing to occur. 

In this 3-week class we will:

• Set personal intentions for the class
• Understand healing modalities that will assist in directing your thought and awareness in self-healing
• Learn the true meaning of intention as it relates to your own physical healing
• Experience a greater clarity that there is nothing to be healed outside of your consciousness and your belief. 
• Learn practical tools and practices to use in your physical laboratory . . . YOU! 

We will explore healing practices such as prayer, EFT, grounding, mindfulness and Christian Science, and use these practices in the manifestation of our intentions.

When: Wednesdays, September 16, 23, 30, 6:30 to 8:30 pm
Where: Our Sausalito Classroom,  3030 Bridgeway, Suite 325
Investment: $ 60.00

To register, contact Marinda at 415-924-9145  marinda@mfproductions.net

Marinda Freeman has always been interested in physical healing. She was raised as a Christian Scientist and has healing herself of physical challenges since she was a child. She continues to explore different avenues of healing, and is delighted to share what she has learned.

Do you ever have a hard time seeing the face of Spirit in other people or yourself? Do you sometimes venture into the land of self-righteousness, lingering with the sense of superiority that dwells there?

In this 4-week informal and interactive group, we will come together with like-minded people in an atmosphere of safety and love. We’ll set clear intentions, explore our relationship with our judgment, and as always, learn from each other’s insights and wisdom.

All the mystical paths include a common element: letting go of whatever behavioral choices we make that block us from being a channel for Divine Love, Healing, and Power. It’s hard to see God in everyone when we resent, blame, or need others to change their behavior in order to gain our acceptance or approval. We are often unaware of how our judgmental behavior acts as an anchor tied to our leg as we dance down our spiritual path. Judging reveals the “Iceberg Effect:” our judgmental behavior toward others is the tip of the iceberg (the top 15%), and the rest that is unseen (the 85% below the surface) represents how much we judge ourselves.

Judging includes:

• Resenting, blaming others or ourselves for behavior we believe is unacceptable
• Resistance to forgive ourselves or others
• The need to feel “better than” or “less than” others-getting an illusory feeling of satisfaction from being “right.”
• People pleasing, thinking we know what’s best for others, enabling, rescuing, and other codependent behaviors.
• Victim consciousness and self-pity

Group: Who ME? Exploring the Role of Judgment on our Spiritual Path
When: Four Wednesdays, Sept 10, Sept 17, Sept 24, & Oct 1, 6:30-8:30pm
Where: 3030 Bridgeway, Sausalito
Cost: Love Offering
Bring: A journal, your willingness to transform, and your sense of humor

Are you looking at the economy and wondering how you will hold onto your spiritual hat? Do you feel fear of your financial future creeping around as you watch the news?

In this 4-week class we will play with the old Sufi phrase, “Trust in Allah AND tie up your camel.” We will apply timeless and unchanging spiritual principles that guide us as we grow the seeds of our intentions and activate the Law of Attraction. Non-metaphysicians look to the physical world for physical solutions. Metaphysicians look within to their consciousness for solutions. We will also tie up our camels using tools that are the practical part of supporting our spiritual deepening and being good stewards of our money. Our informal and supportive group interaction adds the elements of fun and community.

Some areas we’ll cover:

• We’re not our stuff, so let’s not define ourselves by what we have
• Looking at where we are financially, where we want to be, and taking physical and metaphysical action steps to get there
• Identifying, prioritizing, and solidifying our spiritual investments
• Simple tools for creating a budget, and ideas on easy ways to cut expenses and spending
• Steeping ourselves in God as our true Source

Here's a testimonial for Looking UP:

“I had a very positive experience when I took Looking Up in a Down Economy. It had been so easy to get caught up in the media news, other people's experiences, and also my own downward emotional spiral.  Instead of just rolling over and hoping it will soon be over, I took this class and was refreshed and invigorated by my own power and personal growth. There were many valuable exercises that made me aware of my negative patterns and helped me evaluate and change how I was thinking. I encourage you to take this class if you want to shift your consciousness to abundance and trust.” Kim Kreis

Prosperity is an inside job. In this eight week class we will study the book Spiritual Economics, thrill to metaphysical cartoons that explain principles, play games, have fun, support each other with prayer, and learn to experience our work as a calling.

In this fun and informal 8-week class you will:

• Develop a consciousness of God as the ONLY Source and Substance of everything, from parking places to life purpose
• Take your faith to a deeper level and build your life on a foundation of Spirit as you demonstrate how the metaphysical becomes physical.
• Use abundance principles to actualize your intentions and expand prosperity consciousness. As Eric Butterworth says, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as WE are.”
• If you are experiencing an inner nudge to identify, create, or expand your life work through connecting spiritually with the passions in your heart, this class is a great opportunity.
