The Warrior’s Journey Home: A MKP Weekend Retreat

Every journey starts with a ‘first step’. For many men the NWTA initiation experience was a ‘first step’ onto the road less traveled, the path of the Spiritual Warrior, his sword crafted of wisdom and compassion and a shield made of courage. This is the beginning of a home coming journey the adventure that leads a man to a place of peace and fulfillment to his true home. As a man among men what is the risk of not finding your true home? Are you ready to take the next step?

The Warrior’s Journey Home: Connect with Your True Nature and Live More Fully

Friday, October 17 (begins at 6pm) through Sunday, October 19, 2008 (ends at 4pm)
Facilitator / Coly Vulpiani
$300 per person — includes the Retreat and one 60-minute Individual Voice Dialogue Session.

The only devils in the world are those running around in our own hearts. That is were the battle must be fought. – Mahatma Gandhi

Much of the pain and anxiety in our lives comes when we lose touch with who we are at our core. When we feel separated from the energy that animates us and the entire cosmos, we become afraid, isolated, and controlled by unconscious and unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior.

Reinvigorate your spiritual life, your life work, and your relationships during this lively and peaceful retreat. Learn practical tools for self-mastery and connect more deeply with the totality of who you are and with your unique spirituality. During this weekend, you will experience inner harmony and deep peace and will also prepare yourself for a wider range of life accomplishment with a more expansive sense of possibility.

This special retreat is being held at The Center for Spiritual Transformation, an hour’s drive from Denver in beautiful Idaho Springs, Colorado. Simple and welcoming accommodations are provided in an exquisite mountain setting surrounded by pine and aspen and visited by hummingbirds and elk. Leave your cell phone and daily concerns behind, and join us for an exploration that shifts your perspective and transforms your life.

The retreat package includes an individual Voice Dialogue session with Coly Vulpiani to integrate and work with the new insight you gain during the retreat weekend. The session is to be scheduled in October after the retreat or anytime in November and will be held at his office or conducted by phone to accommodate out-of-town participants. Assorted teas and water will be provided throughout the weekend.

“It has been an unexpected blessing that the clarifying insights I have experienced after many years of Zen practice have shifted my perspective, brought peace to a personal spiritual conflict and lead me back to my spiritual roots, the life and teachings of Jesus. This personal transformation has caused what feels like an alchemical change in me that has catalyzed an integration of the teachings of Buddha and Christ in a new fusion I would like to share with you called, ‘CHRISZEN’. Although the words of these two men were separated by 500 years their message was essentially the same." - Coly Vulpiani

The Reality which the sacred texts of Buddhism and Christianity point to is the very same Reality. In this workshop this reality is brought to life through the ancient art of Lectio Divina (divine readings) and the use of Voice Dialogue facilitation which will awaken the inspired energy these words came from and bring to light the parallel teachings from two of the greatest healers to have walked the earth. The teachings are not new but the way they are being presented is.

The clarifying insights and understandings you will receive in this workshop arise from the direct experience the words point to, creating a greater emotional impact, a deeper meaning, and an embodied experience of these sacred teachings. 

In this workshop you will:

• Nurture your conscious awareness and spiritual aliveness
• Receive an overview of CHRISZEN
• Explore the Trinity of Christianity and Buddhism
• Experience through Voice Dialogue facilitation the parallel teachings from a sacred scripture in Buddhism and Christianity
• Learn about the method of Lectio Divina (divine reading)

Workshops are held in the Varuna/Conference Room on the second floor of the Consulate Healing Center building at 750 East Ninth Avenue in Denver. (See Contact Us for more details.)

With Coly Vulpiani

This ongoing group is a free-flowing exploration that shifts the perspective of participants and opens their lives to new possibilities. Some think of it as a "great play group for engaged adults" because it's genuinely fun, and the experience of the facilitations and discussions also has a profound and lasting impact. Each week, the group delves into a teaching or idea taken from one of the wisdom traditions, the writing of a well-respected contemporary teacher, or a theme that is of particular relevance to the group. The breakthroughs in insight and understanding come from the intellectual exploration of the ideas, but more importantly from the direct experience these ideas point to which brings an emotional impact and deeper meaning to these concepts.

The benefits commonly experienced by group members include:

• learning about themselves and others at a deeper level that cannot be achieved by the intellect alone,
• the ability to immediately integrate new understanding into daily life, and
• the gift of truly experiencing a shift of perspective.

New members are always welcome. Come as you are, come when you want, and discover with us.

 

Parallel Realities Practice Group gatherings are held in the Varuna/Conference Room on the second floor of the newer of the two Consulate Healing Center buildings at 750 East Ninth Avenue in Denver. (See Contact Us for more details.)
