INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Individual Sessions: A
Powerful Catalyst for Your Healing and Personal Growth
Individual sessions are the most direct and effective way to
explore the totality of who you are and connect with your most authentic self.
Expanding your self awareness improves your relationships, your health, and your
sense of well being. The work done in individual sessions is subtle, powerful, and
is also self empowering, so as you practice using the
tools you become stronger, more capable, and more able to experience a wider range
of accomplishment and conscious choice in your personal and professional life.
Some clients prefer to dive in with an intensive tightly spaced group of sessions,
while others prefer regular sessions on a bi-monthly or monthly basis.
Coly offers a complementary session to discuss what you'd like to transform in your
life and how this work can support that transformation.
He can be reached at 303.476.8402 and will explore ideas about how sessions can be
personalized to meet your needs and goals.
"The outcome of our work together is to help you
bring peace to your inner conflicts and reveal the beauty and strength that is
already alive within you. I help you do this by using the following steps:"

RETREATS
DWELLING IN STILLNESS: a CHRISZEN
Silent Meditation Retreat
An integration of the parallel teachings and contemplative practices of Buddha and Christ.
As you quiet the mind the ego retreats and it surrenders to spirit. This
retreat is an opportunity to put yourself in an atmosphere that will support a quiet
mind. This is a time for you to join together with others in the practice of
stillness. It is through practicing together that we support each other on our
individual and collective journeys to the "heart of stillness."
May Retreat:
Tuesday, May 25 (begins at 6pm) through Sunday, May 30 (ends at 4pm)
September Retreat:
Tuesday, August 31 (begins at 6pm) through Sunday, September 5 (ends at 4pm)
Dwelling In Stillness retreats will be held at the Center for Spiritual
Transformation, Idaho Springs, CO (www.centerforspiritual.com)
$350 per person includes lodging and food. At the conclusion of the retreat you
will be invited to express your gratitude and support for the value you have
received from these teachings with a donation according to your volition and means.
To Register: Call or email Coly at coly@parallelrealitiespractice.com / 303.476.8402
The peace and happiness we are looking for is within us and the direction in which
the Buddha and Christ are pointing lead us to the very same place.
The Buddha said, “How gladly you follow the words of the awakened. How quietly, how
surely you approach the happy country, the heart of stillness.”
Jesus said, “My children learn stillness of body. Move ye not. Learn stillness of
heart. Let not the Lake of Peace be ruffled by violent emotion. Learn stillness of
mind, for Peace will not come while you move like restless creators.”
Because there is no difference in the stillness that is the Buddha or the Christ or
the stillness that is you, when you touch and cultivate that stillness through
meditation (prayer) you arrive in the place where you can meet the Buddha, the
Christ, and the entire cosmos within you. When you dwell in the stillness, that
Buddhists call Our True Home, or Christian Contemplatives refer to as ‘The Inner
Room’, and just listen…………... Who is it that is speaking? Who is it that is
listening?
During this retreat you will..........
be introduced to contemplative practices from both traditions,
receive Meditation Instruction,
participate in sitting meditation and kinhin (walking meditation),
experience body prayer through the gateway of chanting,
use Voice Dialogue to enliven the words from the parallel teachings of Buddha and Jesus using Zen koans and parables, and
have an opportunity, in a private one on one discussion, to explore questions or insights that may arise in meditation.
ACTIVATING HEALING ENERGY ~ Reiki Voices Group
Retreat

Learn how to use what is already within you to free yourself from dis-ease.
A participant shared her thoughts.....
“Each facilitation was remarkable……….I was astounded to see that the energies
that showed up in the Reiki sessions were exactly the energies that people needed
for their healing……..and giving them ‘voice’ through Voice Dialogue facilitation
brought them into conscious awareness. I felt JoAnne and Coly were midwives for the
birth of what was hidden within our subconscious minds...……it was beautiful!”

As a human being you know what it feels like to be stuck and the sense of dis-ease that accompanies it. The energetic blockages in your body, mind, and spirit are the conditions that keep this healing energy stuck and at the same time it is the perfect opportunity for your healing.
The Buddha said, “When conditions are sufficient things manifest. When conditions
are no longer sufficient things cease to manifest.” Using this statement as
the foundational guiding principle for our healing implies that the energy that
heals us is already within us waiting for the sufficient conditions to manifest.
This begs the questions, “What is it in us that actually does the healing?” and
"What is keeping it from manifesting?"
For millennia that healing energy has been referred to as ‘The Light’ and this Light
is the Light of Consciousness. It is the very same light all the sages of the past
and teachers of the present speak of.
There is only one healing Light of Consciousness, that light is you, and it is
within you.
Though you may think that your healing is in someone else’s hands, what I have seen
is the energy that heals is already there. The healer’s purpose is to help
identify, using their awareness, and clear up, using their skills, what is blocking
that energy from manifesting.
In this retreat you will activate and learn how to use the conscious awareness already within you to heal yourself through the use of:
Private Reiki sessions to reveal the subtle energies that are blocked and need attention
Individual and group Voice Dialogue facilitations to 'give voice' to and acknowledge these energies bringing them more into your consciousness and
Meditation practice where you will learn how to nurture and use this energy to heal yourself
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Please Note: Each participant is to provide their own food for breakfast and lunch. Your lodging and the use of the facilities at the Center for Spiritual Transformation are offered at no charge. In appreciation of the owner’s generosity I ask each participant to consider making a tax deductible donation to the Center. At the end of the retreat weekend you will be invited to donate according to your volition and means.

WORKSHOPS and TRAININGS
Level I Voice Dialogue
Training ~ Facilitating Consciousness
Friday - Sunday, October 8 - 10 and October 15 - 17 / two consecutive weekends
Friday, 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
$750, includes a Level I Voice Dialogue Manual
(credit cards accepted, payment plans available)

This 5-day Level I Voice Dialogue training is an opportunity for you to deepen the
understanding of yourself and
learn more about this powerful tool for self study.
Level 1 Voice Dialogue training is for both personal
and professional use and will:
expand your consciousness,
improve your communication skills,
help you resolve inner conflicts,
demystify the development of the personality and
bring awareness to unconscious beliefs and behaviors
Socrates' guiding principle rule was "Know Thyself," in Buddhism it is said, “to
study the enlightened way is to study the self," these words are of eternal
significance. No better advice has ever been given to man or woman. When
one begins to explore themselves, it leads to profound understanding about all
creation. As human beings much of our pain comes from the unconsciousness of the
world we are born into. In addition the beliefs and behaviors we adopted in
childhood and cling to as adults are the seeds that grew into our programmed
conditioned responses to life.
What I have seen is bringing the light of awareness to our conditioned responses is
the first step to freeing ourselves from them. It is the conscious awareness of
these habit patterns that allows for the possibility to change our lives from a
series of programmed responses to a life of conscious choices.
This training will be:
Educational......Experiential.........Practical and you

Learn about:
the development of the personality,

Precious Soul,
ARE YOU READY TO ALLOW YOUR HEALING TO OCCUR?
The purpose and goal of The Way of Mastery Practice group using Voice Dialogue is
for you to embody and ground yourself in the foundational teachings and practices
found in the first three lessons of The Way of Mastery book.
You may think that avoiding painful emotions is the best way to deal with them but
what I've seen is my choice to avoid feeling my pain is what perpetuated my
suffering. What we resist persists and the parts of me I pushed away and did not
want to accept were the very parts I needed to embrace in order for me to heal my
inner conflicts.
The author of The Way of Mastery has this to say about the healing process:
"There's not something etched in stone that must be achieved in order for healing to
occur, except complete and unconditional self-acceptance." Jeshua Ben Joseph
In my experience the use of Voice Dialogue in combination with the teachings and
practices in The Way of Mastery has and continues to profoundly transform my life
and the lives of the people I have the honor to share this work with. ~ Coly
Vulpiani
"..... is it necessary to go to those aspects of ourselves and ask forgiveness,
those voices within the mind? Is it necessary to go to them in order to bring about
some form of healing?
Now listen very carefully. There's not something etched in stone that must be
achieved in order for healing to occur, except complete and unconditional self-
acceptance. So, for each mind, then, it is necessary to go within and truly be
honest. What am I feeling? I keep sensing that I haven't forgiven myself, or I feel
this voice keeps calling to me that says, "You're not good enough. You're not good
enough." If those voices keep calling, something keeps calling for your attention.
Then, that can be best accepted as the voices that are calling you home.
Because these voices call you and because you have a feeling that you haven't
totally come to self-forgiveness, by turning your attention and listening to those
voices within yourself, to which you have not extended forgiveness, will bring those
voices to the surface. Then, have a dialogue with them as if they were a separate
entity.
And then, learn to wrap your arms of forgiveness around those parts. This is an
important aspect of your unique pathway home. This is true for everyone. There
cannot be denial, comparison, analysis, or judgment. There can only be acceptance,
allowance, embracing, trusting, feeling - until that one Mind finds its way to bring
the ship into the harbor. No one can do it for you. However, you can have many
friends, like myself, who will assist you in the way that you have chosen."
Are you ready to be healed?
The WAY OF MASTERY Practice Group gatherings will meet at 700 E. 9th Ave., Suite 9 (downstairs to your right).

THE HEALING OF JUDGMENT IS THE PRACTICE OF FORGIVENESS
It could be said that the 'cross' we bear is made of judgment. Each time we judge others or criticize our selves is an act of 'crucifixion'….each time we choose forgiveness of our selves and others is a 'resurrection'.
We are the creators of our lives we can choose to hurt ourselves, others, and the world we live in with our judgments or heal ourselves, others, and the world through the practice of forgiveness. Our free will to do this is itself a Blessing of Creation gifted to us so we can choose to create our lives even as Creation has created us.......as the extension, the expression, the actual manifestation of Love in the form of a human being.
THE ORIGINAL 'OUCH' - THE SEPARATION FROM LOVE
........as it has always been.......and in my opinion....now, more then ever......we are in need of healing and as it always has been the energy that does that healing is already within us.
For thousands of years that energy has been referred to as "The Light" that light is the Light of Consciousness, it is the ultimate healer. It is the very same Light every healer who has walked on this earth, one foot in front of the other, just as we walk, has used and it is without a shadow of a doubt within you. It is what allows me to write this and allows you to read it. It has been created and gifted to you from the Source of all Creation to use freely. Our sense of separation from that Source has caused generations of human beings throughout our existence much pain, suffering and dis-ease.
The story of Adam and Eve clearly illustrates how the energy of judgment took away their innocence, shamed them, banished them from the garden, (the place of inner peace) and separated them from The Light of God's Love.
WHAT IS IT THAT SEPARATES US FROM THE LIGHT AND BLOCKS ITS FLOW?
Since I was a child I have been told, 'money is the root of all evil', but what I've experienced in my life, seen in the people I work with, in the friends I love to be with, in the family members I grew up with, and witness every day in our world, is that judgment, not money, is at the root of our pain and suffering and has caused our sense of separation and fear.
I invite you to take a moment, this moment, to ask yourself,
Is this not the story of how judgment has affected me as well?
Did judgment take away my innocence (childlike qualities)?
Has it caused me to feel shamed and abandoned?
Does it cause me to feel separated from the feeling of love?
Am I afraid of it?"
Please understand, "You are a conduit of energy. And your body is the communication device that let's you know how that energy is flowing.
When you judge, it is as though you contracted and made the walls of the conduit smaller. Just like building up rust in the pipes. And the flow becomes less and less. As you forgive judgment, it is a though the rust in the pipes is dissolving. This is why the practice of forgiveness is so extremely valuable. Why? Because forgiveness means to let the world off the hook, to step out of any sense of victim consciousness, and then even beyond that, to forgive one's self for the perceptions they have made in error---perceptions of one's brothers and sisters, of the world, and of the Creator. Ultimately, forgiveness is forgiveness of one's self for ever allowing delusion to settle into one's own mind, whereby one perceived one's self as separate from the Source. "Rest assured the completion of forgiveness is the foundation of Love." From: The Way of Mastery
IF WHAT YOU HAVE READ RESONATES WITH YOU AS TRUTH AND YOU ARE COMMITTED TO RELEASING YOURSELF FROM JUDGMENT AND ALLOWING THE LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO FLOW THROUGH YOU CHOOSE TO JOIN ONE OF THE 3 SELF-HEALING CIRCLES THAT ARE FORMING.
- Participants will experience group Voice Dialogue Facilitations and the opportunity for a personal facilitation in a group setting.
