Myth and Metaphysics - "Language of the Soul"

(A 3-day weekend retreat)

People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that is what we are really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have some resonances with our own inner most being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive."

As part of the IGC Personal and Professional development education we offer this workshop to support the ongoing self awareness and skill set of our members and the healing/therapeutic community.

Mythology is a reflection of human consciousness. It can act as a map on the inward journey to discover our own power, peace and divinity.

In our modern society we have lost some of our rituals and traditions that helped to ground us and keep us in a healthy balance between our head and our hearts.

For many people it is the head that is the master and not the servant. Myth is the language of the soul and if we listen carefully it will touch our heart in a powerful way that transforms consciousness.

This retreat weekend gives us the opportunity to be guided inward on a journey of myth, legend and fairytales that will act as awakening metaphors in our personal and professional life..

What we though were just childhood stories are really and well constructed and defined map to discover our true self that flows from a way of being that would have previously thought to have been impossible.

Testimonials

Leah K, Psychologist NZ
"As an experiential course, theory was applied with a light hand - and honoured the existing knowledge, awareness and state of consciousness that we brought with us. Emergent, rather than scripted - there was enough structure to firmly connect mythology and metaphysics, and enough freedom that the energy went where it needed to. Among all of us"

Bob Bryan, Vision Quest Protector USA
"Bill has discovered a unique and well grounded approach for anyone in search of the hero within. It is a perfect tool for self exploration presented in a noninvasive way. He makes the journey personal, powerful and fun. Thanks for experience Bill. "
