Pragmatic Spirituality Workshop (PSW)
Creating A Deep Connection and Personal Approach to Spirituality
with Manolo Cetina
Saturday, October 31, 2009
(Download Flyer)

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.

About the Presenter
Manolo Cetina is a spiritual leader with 20 years working with groups for personal and spiritual growth.

First, with Victor Sanchez as his mentor and spiritual brother, and also receiving important teachings from Huichol communities and elders. Manolo also combines new knowledge he has learned through workshops participants, spiritual leaders and the advances of science. He created the organization "Conexion Humana", which offers workshops in different countries around the world.Now he is coming from Mexico to share the approach to spirituality that he has developed.

So you wanna be more spiritual? Ok, let's be more spiritual. Our first few meetups were just warm-ups. Now it's time for the real thing! We'll gather at our location at 1:30pm sharp and then we'll go out and share our Spiritual Mojo with our brothers and sisters--those "strangers" we pass on the street everyday, sometimes barely acknowledging their existence and maybe even subconsciously judging them based on superficial criteria. Today we're going to demonstrate our spirituality and make a conscious choice to being open and loving without judgment. This could be a phenomenal, transformational event for both us and NYC. Spread the word, bring a friend, and spread the love.

What to Bring
(any or all of the following)
Flowers
Note cards with words of encouragement
Small "Trinkets" you don't need anymore
Smiles
Magic Wand
Paper and Marker to make signs if needed
Hugs
Kindness
Generosity

Love
A Song in Your Heart
Anything else you think you might want to gift to others
A Desire to be of Service
A Friend

IMPORTANT - Don't forget to set your clocks ahead 1 hour Saturday night for daylight savings!

We can take ourselves just a tad bit too serious in life and on the spiritual mission. How can we embrace life if we're all uptight? Having fun and enjoying life is an important spiritual practice--and it's a great technique for re-centering yourself. So let's get together just for the fun of it. We'll grab a meal, perhaps do a little bowling and make the rest up as we go along.

Please arrive 5-10 minutes early. We'll get a table for however many people are actually there at 1:30pm. Latecomers may have to grab their own spot if there's no more room at the "main table."

Finding and fulfilling your spiritual mission can be challenging on many different levels and for many different reasons. Sometimes you get stuck or distracted. Sometimes you hit a wall or go around in circles. Sometimes you hold yourself back for reasons you don't fully understand. And sometimes you get plain old tired and frustrated. During this program we'll experiment with a few outrageous spiritual exercises to help us tap into our raw courage and creativity, and leap our limitations in a single bound.
