Spirituality implies a deep connection with everything around us. When you are connected, you naturally and automatically walk hand in hand with life in a positive and evolutionary way that impacts your emotional life, attitudes, approach to dealing with issues, and your everyday interactions. To enter this relationship and the mystery of spirit, you must travel beyond the mind and world of beliefs, concepts, and theories, and enter a new awareness.

What You'll Learn
In this one-day workshop, you will learn specific practices that show you:

• How to cultivate a deep and intimate spiritual connection
  
• How to create your own spiritual regimen and personal approach to spirituality
  
• How to integrate deep spirituality and awareness into everyday life

What You'll Do
During the workshop, you will begin building your own unique spiritual practice based on the 4 essential elements of pragmatic spirituality:

• Awaken Your Connection to Spirit
  Learn several special practices (including meditation and creative practices) to help you establish a deep relationship with spirit and nature, and integrate consciousness into your ordinary activities and your interactions with others.

• Discover Your Unique Sacred Behavior (Way of Being) that Will Help You to Develop your Personal Spirituality
  Connection leads to awareness. Awareness brings you into your Sacred Behavior--your unique Way of Being-- that will deepen your connection to spirit and help you to evolve. During this process, you will examine the habits and beliefs that interfere with your spiritual connection, and examine how they impact your reality. You will begin to develop a new relationship with your values and uncover your sacred behavior.

• Create Sacred Places and Personal Ritual to Strengthen and Sustain your Spiritual Connection
  The sacred place is where the sacred behavior is practiced with the greatest amount of focus. It becomes part of your life in order to cultivate your sacred behavior and nurture your connection, which is essential to deepening your spiritual commitment. The sacred place provides a "safe haven" away from the drama and demands of everyday life where you can practice ways to increase the presence of your Sacred Behavior and spiritual connection. These ways become rituals that with time and practice "charge" your Sacred Place (and your inner awareness) with the power needed to sustain your spiritual connection and commitment.

• Build a Bridge Between your Spiritual Practice and Your Ordinary Reality
  For millennia, spiritual offerings have been used to bridge the world of spirit and the world of everyday life. Offerings can take many forms and they reflect your spiritual commitment as well as help to deepen your connection. Learn how to make spiritual offerings that will enhance your ability to access the mystery and magic of spirit.

Why You Should Attend
Having a core spiritual practice and foundation is essential to growth and evolution. Especially in these uncertain and changing times, learning to develop your own pragmatic approach to spirituality empowers you to find, maintain and follow your path, and stay in Right Relationship with your connection to spirit. This workshop is a rare and special opportunity to train with an exceptional teacher and spiritual leader from Mexico. Through the powerful practices, energy movements, and group interaction that occur during the workshop, you will share in a strong, collective magic that you can put to practical use in your life. This workshop is not a rigid body of practices but rather a flexible system, respectful of all beliefs, that you can adapt to produce the results you want to see in your life.
