A New Vision for Intimate Relationships In the 21st century, creating and maintaining an authentic and enriching connection with an intimate partner requires a whole new vision and approach. Real love is a call to us to awaken to our deepest nature. Intimate relationship is a powerful medium for this awakening because it inspires openness and expansion, even as it brings to life conditioned patterns from the past that hinder lovers from being present to each other. At such moments our limited, conditioned self and our larger, open nature meet. If we are open to conscious relationship, these moments can provide the space where real transformation happens and intimate relationship becomes a sacred path. This sense of presence creates the foundation for this new vision of relationship. Who will benefit? Singles, those already in a relationship, and those planning a relationship. Prerequisite: One Day Mindfulness Retreat, Saturday, Sept. 20th (sold out) Introduction: One Day Introductory Session, Saturday, Oct. 18th NOTE - the modules are designed to be taken in sequence. Module 1 Module 2 Saturday Nov. 29th , 2008 Module 3 Saturday Jan. 17th , 2009 Module 4 Saturday Feb. 14th , 2009 Modules are from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, includes lunch and snacks Mary and Austin When they began their sacred journey more than forty years ago, Mary and Austin dedicated themselves to co-creating a soul-mate quality relationship. Mary, coming from four years in a convent studying to be a nun, and Austin, coming from four years studying to be a priest – both realized they had much to learn about intimate relationship. They set out on a path of personal and spiritual transformation and in the process began to discover and develop the sacred, soul-mate relationship they desired. They have been guided to share what they have learned and now experience. They created the Soul Sync System to help those individuals and couples who are ready to answer the call to this new vision of relationship. SATURDAY, SEPT 20TH, 2008 9.30 AM – 5.00 PM At Rosemary Heights Retreat Centre $125 ($95 if paid by August 31st) Includes lunch and snacksThe focus for this retreat will be on the individual’s connection with soul and developing the components of unconditional presence to self and others. Mindfulness helps clear the thinking patterns that result from old conditioning and opens the heart to self-acceptance and joyful living. Participants will be offered powerful ways of expanding self-love and compassion as they prepare to experience this New Vision of Relationship - Soul Sync System™, a context for creating enlightened, intimate relationships. The format will consist of talks, silence, experiential exercises, and meditation. This retreat will advance you on the journey of knowing yourself through mindfulness, knowing what’s true for you. It’s about how you open to true self- discovery, how you relate to love, how you open (or don’t open) to love of yourself or others. It’s a journey of self-investigation. The focus is not on how to have a good relationship, although insights that come out of this will indeed help you have a better relationship, but that’s not the main objective. The main focus of this retreat is your relationship to self. As you mindfully develop an aware sense of self, you learn to trust that you have within you the ability to embrace and be with our own feelings, regardless of their quality. This builds a level of self-acceptance – a prelude to effective relating to, and acceptance of others. This Mindfulness Retreat is open to everyone, and is a prerequisite for individuals and couples who would like to participate in the Soul Sync System™ Workshops.

Solitude is the diary of Kull’s tumultuous year. Throughout the book, Kull also includes reflective “interludes” between his journal entries to add perspective and to allow the reader to step back from the immediate intensity of his solitude experience. But the heart of his story beats within the hours, days, and months of his journal. Kull has also captured his journey in spectacular photographs, which he would be happy to present in a slide show. In this passage from Solitude’s Introduction, Kull provides great context for his work:
Robert Kull has spent years wandering North and South America, and has lived all over the world, working as a scuba instructor, wilderness guide, construction worker, dishwasher, truck driver, bartender, painter, firefighter, and professor. Kull began undergraduate studies at age forty and now holds a Ph.D. from University of British Columbia.

Info at www.touchstoneseminars.net Prior Series: Consciousness Creates series in eight lessons, July and August '08 We are on a wonderful journey of self-discovery where we learn how to transform our lives. As we evolve and experience higher levels of living, our experience of life takes on a sense of effortlessness. We do this through a process of growth in consciousness. Whatever level of consciousness we now experience creates what we call our outer reality, the work of re-forming our world. In this series we examine how to consciously engage the evolutionary process, how to deliberately cooperate with, and participate in our own evolution, and how to unfold or amazing potential. Life needs our conscious cooperation. When we commit to this inner transformation, experiencing higher and higher levels of consciousness, we go about the exciting work of expanding the quality of our lives. It is our nature to evolve, and as we do, we open to newer and newer worlds and a soul-satisfying quality of life we have never before experienced. The Path to Perfect Happiness The series was introduced by TULSHI SEN, Author, International Lecturer, This page is normally updated Wednesdays each week.

In February 2001, Bob Kull traveled to a remote island in the Patagonia wilderness with enough supplies to live alone for a year. He sought to explore the effects of deep solitude on the body and mind and to find the answers to the spiritual questions that had plagued him throughout his entire life. With only a cat and his thoughts as companions, he wrestled with inner storms while the wild forces of nature raged around him. The physical challenges were immense, but the struggles of mind and spirit pushed him to the limits of human endurance.
