A Retreat at Joshua Tree, Mojave Desert, Southern California, USA
October 8 - 14, 2012
There is a calling - between your Self and your Soul...A calling that stirs deep within.
An invitation to Vision Quest
The land is calling and wonders who can hear and who will respond.
Answer the call.
Come for meaning and purpose.
Come for vision.
Come and find your true self.
The opportunity has been created; the work is yours to accept or to push away.
Know that the call will not fade or be silenced - it will continue to work on you until you eventually surrender to it. Your most vital work and vision waits, impatiently, for you to discover and embrace it.
There may be a voice inside that asks, why bother? After all isn’t life good enough as it is. Why risk shaking it up? You have pushed that calling voice, that yearning away for a while now. That yearning is your true voice, that wondering spirit that is your true heart.
The stirring restlessness deep within beckons you to come and explore.
The powerful grounds of the Joshua Tree region pound the drumbeat of vision, healing, and the calling forth that will ask you to slow down, to drop in, and to do your life work.
Vision is essential and it will take you to the very center of who you are.
You will face your hopes and dreams, and also, that aspect of you that resists such a call. The path here is seldom easy, but it’s filled with “good reasons” to attend. What version of scarcity would keep you away from such a date? Is it the scarcity of time or perhaps money, or convenience? What is more important than answering the call of your life?
Join us for the Vision Quest opportunity of a lifetime. You will be met by amazing travelers like your Self. You will be guided with compassion and non-judgment; courage and forthrightness; love and respect.
October 8 - 14, 2012 at Joshua Tree in the Mojave Desert of Southern California.
Space is very limited on this deeply personal journey.
The land is calling and wonders who can hear and who will respond.
A short story…A while back I was riding my motorcycle across the southwestern USA. One thing that I do well is respond to the call and so without knowing why exactly, I knew this ride was part of a bigger call. As I passed through the high desert of the Joshua Tree area in Southern California, I felt the land calling, speaking to me as I rode, telling me that I would be returning with a group of people, an awakening group. I noticed this profound message and filed it away knowing that when the time was right I would respond.
For a while I felt stirred by this calling to assemble a group and get out on the land.
When I returned home, I received a call from a woman at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center. She asked me if I was interested in bringing a group out to Joshua tree. Right there I knew this was my calling. I said yes...
We will never know all the reasons behind the Universe’s calling. Our minds will rationalize and “figure it out” and that is fine and we will still never know the full, “why” behind a calling like this.
The Wisdom Field is Calling and you are invited to join us.
In October we are returning to the high desert in Southern California to an area known as Joshua Tree.
We will gather, partner with the land and we will dive into the very personalquestion about what is next for you and what part will you play inthe evolution that is already taking place both within you and around you.
This will be a Journey into the Unknown. One that we can ignore or embrace and throw ourselves into. Walk with us and hold the question “What are we being called to?” and as we do this we are already serving at a high level on behalf of All.
Respectfully Patrick Ryan Chief Waker-Upper Awakened Wisdom Experiences
Answer this call to an Event that will take you into a very personal process.
Awakened Wisdom Experiences invites you.
You are called to step out of the busyness and come back to the journey, to meet our soul, the adventure, and to become quiet and to listen. It is that calling that beckons, even demands, that we respond, that we fully experience life and its meaning and purpose.
It is this calling that guides us out into the unknown for we cannot know or control the future. At best we respond with discernment and wisdom as we navigate along life's mysterious river.
We free ourselves to listen. What is that resonant whisper, that joy, that doorway to home, to the heart? Our guides wait patiently for us to give them our open heart, mind and body. They remind us that we are never alone. We release ourselves from the relentless noise of our resistant ego and all its fears, concerns and misdirection and we choose to make a priority of living a vibrant life of meaning and purpose.
From here we travel in a moment in which we see through the veils that have kept us from knowing the fullness of what we are. It is a moment of truth, clarity, and understanding and acceptance of our relevant and important role in the Journey. It is there that we will learn what is needed from us at this particular time, as we walk the good walk.
You may experience many aspects of yourself including the deep, dark, and emotional or the light, bright and joyous.
You may transcend these aspects of your ego and find a deeper fuller connection where your truest vision may be realized.
It is natural, even normal, to struggle in a process like this. Many of the great masters of ancient traditions experienced times of struggle as they found their way to a brighter way of being. As we release ourselves from attachments of ego we are freed for a life of greater and brighter joy.
This journey is yours. We will give you the opportunity. Let go of all expectations. All we ask is that you open your heart, mind and body and say ‘yes’ to the experience. The universe will respond accordingly.
