What Is Spiritual Power? Cost Schedule To Register Participants Comments A word from Lynn Woodland about the Power! Intensive Are you ready for a big change?In response to an overload of inner guidance, I'm doing something I virtually never do. I'm cancelling a scheduled workshop that already has registered participantsÑthe Power Intensive scheduled for August 4-8. My screaming inner guidance that won't leave me alone is directing me to offer instead a new workshop based on the material from my soon to be released book, Holding a Butterfly, An Experiment in Miracle-Making. This new event, particularly the timing of it, has come as a big surprise to me. Not only was I was looking forward to leading this Power Intensive but I didn't really think I had time to create a brand new workshop. But, there you have it. Operating from inner guidance isn't always the most predictable path. I'm completely out of my comfort zone on this and that's often been my signal that something really interesting is about to happen. "Power!" The Intensive with Lynn WoodlandLynn 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. 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
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:
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. Some Topics Addressed in POWER!:
CostPOWER! 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.

The following stories came from participants in a recent session of POWER!"My experience at the most recent intensive was everything I hoped it would be and more! I have always had amazing miracles occur during and after the workshops, but this most recent miracle experience was an instant manifestation, and very specific. I had been looking for a way to obtain a home of my own and because of a recent divorce was unable to purchase one. But being a re-born miracle maker and proclaiming with my fellow attendees that I was willing to receive a house miracle (and my new dream car), I knew to expect [that] something wonderful was already on its way to me, and after such an intensely beautiful workshop filled with miracles, I was excited to see what was going to happen. "It was hard to leave all my new friends on the last night of the workshop, but the potluck was joyous and richly fulfilling. As I got into my vehicle with the broken muffler, and prayed she would start, I started listening to all my voicemail messages. My father had called at some point while I was proclaiming my right to manifest my home. He had left a message stating that he would like to visit the twin cities and see about helping me buy a house! Whoa. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It seemed so easy and effortless to manifest and I couldn't deny the gratitude at such instant divine love. A few days later my good neighbor asked me if I knew of anyone who wanted a Subaru Outback, green with a stick shift, new stereo, and all-wheel drive. I laughed and said, yes, I would love to buy my dream car, would she take payments, of course she said—I know where you live! The rest is history. I now drive my very reliable dream car—named "Sprout"—while house hunting with my father!" I sincerely hope everyone who reads this will have that inner-nudge that brings them to the next workshop!" "OMG, everyone!!! Have I got a miracle healing story for you!! This is the most dramatic miracle I have ever manifested!! My first romantic relationship … was probably the most hurtful experience of my life--[it] really ingrained in me that the world is not a welcoming place at a time when I had really begun to open and blossom. It took a LONG time to heal and there was a point when I thought I would just never be able to find closure for that experience.… It really set for me a pattern in romantic relationships… So, imagine my shock yesterday [at receiving a letter from this person.] … It completely blew my mind! I don't even know how she possibly could have found me—the last time I talked to her was in 1989!!! [She wrote:] 'Will you please contact me? Although you may feel our friendship ended long ago, you have always had a special place in my heart and I feel my life will not be complete unless we have at least one more interaction… I remember you as having a heart full of love and understanding. I hope you can have that understanding with me. Please consider.' …We talked for about an hour and basically got caught up on 20 action packed years!! So, all of a sudden, after 20 years of thinking I would never see her again, now we are kinda friends!!!!!!!.…And she lives only a couple hours away from my mom, so the next time I'm out visiting, I'm sure I'll pay her a visit (another AMAZING synchronicity!!!). …I don't even know what to say other than wow, wow, wow… I am still reeling. But SOMETHING DEFINITELY SHIFTED DURING OUR WORKSHOP!!!!!! I would say for you to expect miracles OF ANY MAGNITUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously!!" A word from Lynn Woodland about the Power! Intensive…I began offering these 5-day intensives in 1987, driven by my growing fascination with real-life miracles, following fifteen years of work in fields of transpersonal psychology, metaphysics and Attitudinal Healing. Nowadays, books and movies like "The Secret" and "What the Bleep" have introduced "the Law of Attraction" and other New Thought concepts into mainstream conversation and, as even first-time practitioners of the Law of Attraction can attest to, creating an isolated result is easy. To live these principles consistently, though, is a lifelong journey. Even for the most dedicated students of New Thought spirituality there can be big gaps between the ideas we entertain and the unconscious core beliefs that drive our lives and determine our experiences. These gaps result in wheel-spinning where no amount of effort seems to change our pattern of struggle in certain areas of life. The shift from unconscious wheel-spinning to true empowerment, paradoxically, takes less effort, less pain and struggle than everything else we've tried. Yet, its very unfamiliarity can make the path of true power feel excruciatingly out of our comfort zone and counter to all our past conditioning. It requires using familiar resources in unfamiliar ways, stretching our imaginations to places they've never been before, doing things we've been told we shouldn't or couldn't, surrendering where we usually exercise control and most of all, going bravely into the unknown. The process can be at different times terrifying, exhilarating and ecstatic. It's always easier when we do it together rather than alone. The Power Intensive provides a safe container for this journey into True Power. The process asks us to unlearn everything we thought we knew for certain, shed remnants of the past we thought we were already done with, discern our most passionate callings and strengthen our will. It lifts us to moments of ecstatic peak life experience where healing and manifestation happen instantaneously, and sets us down again feeling less afraid of uncertainty; more trusting in the process of life. If I said I knew what would happen in each intensive, I'd be lying. It's truly a laboratory for experimentation; a crucible for transformation with each session being as different and unpredictable as the people in attendance and the times we're in. Those who've attended one Power Intensive often come back again and again because each experience is a new adventure and cultivates a new dimension of empowerment. "POWER!" is a workshop I recommend for who people who already have a sense of their own power and are ready to achieve a higher degree of mastery. When such a group of people come together, there truly is no limit to what we can create. What are appropriate goals to bring to the Power Intensive? No less than your highest dreams and heart's desires. Understand, however, that stepping into True Power opens the door to dreams you never thought to dream before. You may discover things your heart has always longed for but your mind has never known how to name, and these will undoubtedly require leaving your comfort zone far behind. And now, if you're excited, a little afraid, and ready for a big leap, you may be a candidate for the upcoming session of POWER! The next session of POWER! will meet from September 23-27. Preregistration is required. To receive an application form, email me or call 651-642-5405. I look forward to the miracles we can create together! Rev. Lynn Woodland |
