COURSES, WORKSHOPS, AND RETREATS
The Awareness School is an esoteric school offering three branches of study based on 30 years of expertise. All of our modalities are designed to increase presence in your life to facilitate self-transformation and self-remembrance.
We accomplish this through self-directed evergreen courses, guided live courses (online and in person), ongoing study groups, and short in-person workshops and events.
In the first branch, we harness meditation and specific presence practices used in daily life to increase the ability to self-observe, which most people believe they already know how to do.
With this manner of observation, one can witness patterns, inner talk, feelings of worthlessness and low self-esteem, attachment to roles and false beliefs about oneself, the leakage of energy, procrastination, self-sabotage, and addiction in a new light. It takes time and effort to hone this skill which will evolve over a lifetime.
Our Practical Awareness 10-week course is the signature course of this branch of study, featuring live weekly meetings and serving as a prerequisite to the ongoing weekly study groups. The 21-day meditation course gives a taste of the work in an evergreen, self-directed format.
21-DAY MEDITATION
This 21-day journey is not just about meditating. We invite you to experience a shift in how you see things, what you believe, and what you think you know.
PRACTICAL AWARENESS
In this 10-week course, learn to become the architects of your own destiny using Fourth Way ideas, weekly themes, meditations, and awareness techniques. This program will deliver practices for a lifetime.Â
Offered in spring and fall.
GURDJIEFF MOVEMENTS
The Gurdjieff Movements are the vehicle for contact with a greater energy. They require presence and attention maintained through integration of body, heart, and mind.
These day-long sacred dance workshops are taught and accompanied by seasoned Movements teacher Molly Knight Forde.Â
No experience required.
MONTHLY MEMBERSHIPS
Whether you are new to the spiritual journey or a seasoned traveler, we offer weekly meetings to stay connected and accountable through sharing our self-observations and meditating together. Members receive meditation mentorship, and discounts to courses, retreats, and workshops.
Prerequisite: Practical Awareness 10 Week Course
RETREATS
Our beautiful wooded 20 acres in the San Juan Islands hosts several retreats every summer season. Immerse yourself in the practices over an extended period of time to foster a deeper understanding of what it means to live in presence. These retreats over-deliver and present a way of life for the future.
The second branch of our school focuses on sound healing: harnessing the power of sound to shift energy, facilitate personal healing, and help you understand its transformative properties. We offer workshops, private sessions, and courses that range from community sound baths, private healing and shamanic journey, to education of sound and music theory, as well as advanced sound healing techniques for experienced sound practitioners.
Our third branch is based in shamanic practices that focus on the 20-count medicine wheel, energy perception, Nature relationships, shamanic journey, women’s circles, and the Divine Masculine and Feminine Principles found within each one of us.
ENERGY INSIGHTSÂ
There are 5 energetic coping mechanisms at play in the seen and unseen worlds. This online information series helps you develop skills for recognizing them within yourself and others. Offered as an online self-paced course as well as in-person workshops.
WOMEN'S WISDOM CIRCLE
