ATTENTION INTEGRAL PRACTIONERS AND OTHERS LOOKING FOR DEEP HEALING!
I'm organizing a Robert A Masters Workshop in Montreal in mid to late August 2008. It will be something like the below. I need to know that there is enough interest though before going ahead with it and finalizing everything with Robert.
Montreal, Quebec led by Robert Augustus Masters, Ph.D. assisted by Diane Bardwell Masters |
The Situation:
You've done work on yourself and have opened and benefited (and want to maintain that openness), but find certain issues surfacing again and again — relationship hassles, insecurities, emotional inhibitions, and so on. Now, more than ever, these are in your face (perhaps because you're now ready to fully face them), asking for your undivided attention. And, quite possibly, also for a suitable setting, featuring both cutting-edge guidance and the company of others as committed as you to healing and awakening.
The Context:
You might think that these issues are blocking your path, but in reality they are part of your path, and need to be treated as such. All you have to do is stop turning away from them, stop trying to rise above them, and make the journey into them, with awareness, compassion, and curiosity. This is not necessarily easy — for if it was, you probably would've already done it — but it can be done, leaving you more whole, more alive and present, more functional in every aspect of your life, allowing you to live a life that is as practical as it is liberating. This healing is what this group is all about.
Who It’s For:
This group is for those who want to make wise use of their difficulties and who are ready to work through whatever is obstructing their liberation. It is especially suited for those whose longing to be truly free is stronger than their longing to continue distracting themselves from their suffering.
About The Work:
This group will be small and intimate, being limited to 12 participants only, so that there is enough time for everyone to receive in-depth attention. The group will involve therapy (in its focus on personal history), and will also involve much more than therapy, given its integral nature. Deep catharsis, psychodrama, and spiritual breakthroughs will flow in and out of each other during the group, in spontaneously apt ways.
All kinds of issues and concerns — from the deepest trauma to the seemingly trivial — will be dealt with, through a dynamic, creative mix of psychotherapy, bodywork, spiritual disciplines, dreamwork, and group practices. The atmosphere will be one of deep trust; the group will be a safe place to let go of being safe, providing a crucible not only for personal healing, but also for awakening from all of our entrapping dreams.
Participants will learn to become more intimate with all that they are — dark and light, high and low, shallow and deep, neurotic and transcendent, dying and undying.
The structuring of the group will not be preset, but instead will arise in accordance with group and individual needs. Each participant will have an opportunity to work, in relevant detail and in sufficient depth, with his or her particular issues, and not necessarily just once in the group.
LOCATION & TIME:
Montreal Quebec TBA - mid to late August
There will be a free meeting on Friday evening.
The group will begin Saturday at 10am and end Sunday at approximately 4:30pm.
TUITION:
approx CAD $600 - there will be a non refundable deposit required.
PAYMENT:
In Canadian funds either by bank draft (payable to Robert Masters at 16133 9th Avenue, Surrey, BC V4A 1A5) or by credit card online. Full tuition is due by about 6 weeks prior to the workshop.
To register, or to obtain more information, contact Nicole. Since we are only taking 12 participants, early registration is highly recommended.

Some Background about me:
I came here via WIE which was shared by a friend of mine, who, like me, works in Kumon Math and Reading, just the other side of the “fence” - I'm a franchisee, he's a company staff.
2007 was a time of transition for me. I wasn't on gaia for most of it, and was out of touch with most of my in-person friends too. But now I am re-vitalized and fully connected with my friends here and everywhere once again.
I have three children 11 to 19 years old, girl boy girl,
I tried to begin again with my partner, since he was so supportive about my recent heartbreak over my imzadi (see my blogs over the past two months if you really want to know about all the ups and downs of that) but have decided I need a real break from all this stuff.
Too much to do and be to deal with a relationship right now.
People often ask about my photos. I didn't take any of them. Most I have found on the net, and many I captured right here on gaia, many from Herbie's pod, the Beloved's Teahouse (which sadly no longer exists). A couple have been taken by friends. I am not a photographer but I do love beauty, visual beauty as well as musical. Current favourite artist are A. Andrew Gonzalez and David J. Nightingale.
About my blog - it's not for the casual surfer. I'm intensely personal. I also have many poems and some articles. You've been warned. :)
If you're a Canadian, or live elsewhere and are interested in Canada, you are welcome to join my pod Zed is Us, eh?
It has not been active for a while but the possibility always exists as long as there are Canucks who want to yak there.
Pod! http://pods.gaia.com/is_there_a_god
All are welcome!
After nearly three months, this pod has blossomed into a dynamic and compassionate safe place for believers, skeptics and atheists. We are truly open to all who come for honest and respectful discussion on belief, and are balanced “in the sense described and quoted in the Wikipedia entry on Mackie (an atheist): ”Mackie is said to have been capable of expressing total disagreement in such a genial way that the person being addressed might mistake the comment for a compliment. This personal style is exemplified by the following words from the preface to Mackie's Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong
(1977, p. 3):
| “ | …I am nowhere mainly concerned to refute any individual writer. I believe that all those to whom I have referred, even those with whom I disagree most strongly, have contributed significantly to our understanding of ethics: where I have quoted their actual words, it is because they have presented views or arguments more clearly or more forcefully than I could put them myself.” |
