the Intensive
with Lynn Woodland
May 21-25

Are you ready for
a big change?

 

The special theme for this session of POWER! is 

"REWARD YOURSELF with the Sweetness of Life!"

 

Is there a step you’ve been meaning to take, or direction you’ve been yearning to find? Are you feeling called to fulfill some life purpose, or to simply go beyond where you’ve been? When life goes flat, it’s time to move on the urgings of our inner guidance and make the leap from ordinary to extraordinary. Often we find the journey we’ve resisted is just the one that finally brings us home to true fulfillment, not just pale substitutes. If this theme is stirring something in you, the next session of POWER! may be calling! Attend a free introduction, Sunday, April 20, 2:30-3:30 PM at Lyndale UCC, or call for an application.

Lynn Woodland's most intensive offering, POWER! is a mental, emotional and spiritual challenge program designed for people who already have an awareness of their strengths and are ready to take empowerment to a new level. Each session is a little different, with its own unique theme.

This one gives special attention to the theme of "Rewards." Memorial Day weekend, for many, heralds the beginning of summer fun--our reward for and balance to hard work. This session of Power gives both deep and playful attention to the importance of balance in life: balancing giving with receiving, work with relaxation, doing what you should with being who you are, control with surrender and achieving goals with simply experiencing the sweetness of life. If we're not feeling the sweet rewards of life, chances are we've lost this delicate balance. If the idea of "reward" rings a chord in you, consider being part of this laboratory for creating more of lifeÕs sweetness.

While there are no prerequisites for attending POWER!, this workshop is not an introductory level program. As Lynn Woodland's most intensive offering, it asks a lot of participants in order to deliver powerful results. It is for those who are truly committed to making their goals and dreams reality rather than those who are merely curious.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THIS WORKSHOP ASK YOURSELF:

  1. Are you committed to creating greater success, growth, fulfillment and joy in your life?
  2. Are you willing to give up the comforts and payoffs of staying small, stuck, limited and in a state of dis-ease?
  3. If having, doing or being your deepest heart's desire required letting go of what is familiar, certain and comfortable in order to venture into uncharted territory, would you do it?
  4. Do you feel your presence would make a positive difference in the next session of POWER!?

If you answered YES! to these questions, you have much to gain from and much to add to the next session of POWER!.


POWER! will empower you to:

  1. "Leap" with greater ease and efficiency into your desired life goals. The new physics is showing us that matter can leap from one point to another without passing through all the points in between. We, too, can learn to take quantum leaps, skipping steps and eliminating struggle.
  2. Identify and release blocks to your highest health and well-being. This includes physical illness, emotional stuckness, limiting beliefs and nonproductive patterns of behavior. In a way that is personal and immediate (no lengthy psychoanalysis of past history) you will uncover the hidden purpose and payoffs for the dis-ease in your life. You will find that you have power and choices in those areas where you previously felt helpless.
  3. Discern your voice of inner guidance. Inner guidance is what puts us in touch with our intuitive sense of timing - our ability to be in the right place at the right time. From the outside, this capacity looks like luck, yet is what differentiates ordinary people from truly extraordinary ones. Inner guidance allows us to see the bigger picture of life, to find our true purpose and path of highest good and to avoid pitfalls.
  4. Take courageous action in your life. How many times have you let opportunity pass by because it meant stepping out of your comfort zone to take a risk? True power means listening and acting when inner guidance urges us toward our greatness - even when it requires taking a stand, making a commitment or a leap into the unknown.
  5. Become a leader, teacher, healer, and catalyst for positive change in the world around you. As we step into our true power, we become increasingly aware of our connection to all life and recognize that, as one person is left behind, no one can truly move forward. As we walk our own personal path of highest good, we find that we quite naturally take others with us. Without even trying, our innate capacity to lead, to heal and to assist powerfully emerges.

What makes this workshop so "challenging?" Is it confrontational?

The greatest challenge in POWER! is its emphasis on personal accountability. Also, being a laboratory rather than a classroom, the objective is to practice principles of spiritual empowerment in the moment rather than talk about them. This challenges everyone (including the facilitator) not to slide into unconscious habits that keep us limited. There are numerous instructions and exercises designed to keep us more conscious in each moment that we usually are in life. These things are experienced by virtually everyone in the workshop as personally challenging. It is, however, at these points of challenge that we are best able to leave the old behind and access new levels of power.

Lynn facilitates all this with a light touch filled with compassion and humor. She creates an atmosphere of safety and trust where everyone (herself included!) can begin to progress beyond fears, blind spots and unconscious self-sabotage. There is room for everyone to participate at their own pace and comfort level. The depth of the experience evolves naturally through acceptance and love with no need for shame-based, confrontational tactics that artificially induce intensity.


What Is Spiritual Power?

We live in an era in which the definition of reality is undergoing a fundamental shift. The findings of quantum physics in this century have introduced many mind-boggling paradoxes that are exploding our most deeply-ingrained beliefs about the nature of matter, time, space and consciousness. Physics is proving many spiritual principles that Eastern religions and metaphysical paths have taught for years. An expanded paradigm of reality is being shown to us in which separateness, powerlessness, scarcity and fear have no place. The old rules of reality are bending, allowing matter to leap spontaneously from one point to another without passing through the space in between and enabling the world around us to show up according to our expectations. These new truths are so radically different that, as they slowly move from the relative obscurity of physics and metaphysics into mainstream consciousness, they must change us at the most profound level. As we begin to live according to these new laws, our power increases exponentially. What's more, the whole nature of power becomes something altogether new: the power of consciousness replaces that of effort, the power of synergy replaces competition, and the power of love triumphs over fear. This is spiritual power.

Essentially, this intensive is a practical experiment in stepping or, more accurately, leaping into this new paradigm of power. With an emphasis on results rather than theory, this lively, experiential workshop helps participants live more powerful and fulfilling lives.

Cost

POWER! is offered on a self-determined fee basis. To enroll, you are required to give a $150 deposit which is nonrefundable if you do not attend or complete the entire workshop. This deposit serves as your commitment to use the space you have reserved. It also screens out people who wish to drop in briefly out of curiosity and would diffuse the power of the experience for those who are committed to participating fully.

POWER! is offered to you unconditionally with no set fee or required minimum payment. The typical per person average payment for this workshop has been between $700 and $1000. You will be asked to decide what you wish to give near the end of the workshop. You are given complete freedom to determine your own payment and what you choose to give is confidential. There is no pressure to give a minimum amount. Typically, individual payment amounts range from 0 to thousands. Only you know what is the right amount for you. This payment process is an important part of the workshop curriculum, which includes examining and healing our relationship to money. Believing that you "can't afford it" is never a valid reason for choosing not to attend.
