Cathy Walker Hawk and Jen Roth, Creating Flow on Your Soul’s Journey
January 17, 2024
6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
You are a soul here on a journey to discover purpose and passion. In their session, Cathy Hawk and Jen Roth address the question, “Can you really see passion and radiate it?” As they explain, passion is a vibration and is pure energy that radiates. There are tools to help you discover and trust your lights-on energy, your inner guidance system. You were born with this inner GPS, calibrated by light, and you use this to navigate your soul’s journey. And, it is helpful to have a map to help you navigate.
There is a map – a flow pattern in the shape of a river. As in all rivers, there are log jams along the way. Many of the log jams are patterns of negative thought. and in order to manifest your purpose this lifetime, you must stay focused on the thoughts, actions, and behaviors that keep you vibrant, energized and in positive flow everyday.
For example, do you sometimes swirl in an eddy of negative thinking, and create the exact opposite result of what you want? When you are deeply enmeshed in the mud of negative thoughts and behaviors, it is very difficult to know where to shift your thoughts – even if you are conscious of the need to do it as it drains you of passion and purpose.
To be successful you need a tool and a proven system that really does work. The Get Clarity Operating System provides you a simple, easy to use system to SHIFT your thought energy and stay in flow.
In this course you will learn:
–What your personal energy field is and how it is energized (lights-on) or drained (lights-off).
–How to trust your inner guidance system using lights-on clues.
–Simple and powerful tools to tune into your own energetic signals to shift negative thinking.
–What your personal energy field is and how it is energized (lights -on) or drained (lights-off).
–How to hold your energy field and stay positive during stressful moments.
–A thought changing tool that in 17 secs will create a high vibrational remedy to shift a complete negative into a complete positive.
Lynne Twist, Living a Committed Life: Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger than Yourself
January 24, 6:00-7:30 pm ET
What would life be like if you committed to something larger than yourself? In her session on Living a Committed Life Lynne Twist calls forth an understanding of the power of making a commitment larger than your own self and teaches how living a committed life empowers you to be your best self, enabling you to draw on resources and capacities you might not know are there in order to accomplish your desire to make a difference in the world. By sharing stories and perspectives from her life that will inspire deeper engagement and catalyze effective action in the world, Lynne Twist reveals her unique experience as a thought leader and activist in a number of causes, from ending world hunger to protecting the Amazon rainforest, to empowering women’s leadership and more. She will share the guiding principles that have enabled her success and can be applied to your own desire to be of service.
People are always seeking to discover meaning in their lives, and perhaps more so now than ever, given the existential threats facing humanity. In these perilous times, more and more people, particularly young people, are seeking ways to have their lives matter — to make a difference in the world. This search for meaning is only going to grow as we humans take on the challenges facing us in this decade and beyond. Lynne Twist’s approach is ontological, illuminating ways of being that are available to everyone, religious or not. Currently there is tremendous discouragement about our leaders and our institutions that are failing us. Lynne Twist opens up a pathway for individuals to take courageous action that is so vital to our times.
Carolyn Rivers, Heart Callings: Aligning with the dynamic purpose of your life.
Wednesday, January 31 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
We are living in a profound moment in human history, a time of great evolutionary shift, when more and more women, and men, too, are waking up to what they are called to on the deepest levels, doing their own inner work that leads to outer action, and being co-creative agents for change.
Each of us has a calling—a true Heart Calling encoded within us– that propels us, if we follow it, to be true to ourselves, our inherent nature, on the soul level. It comes from the depth of our essential Feminine nature.
We reach a point in our lives where we are ready to address this Heart Calling, to own it and to answer it. It often shows up first as a sense of discontent. When we listen to that and have curiosity about it, it will move into a yearning for an unrealized potential inside, a buried longing, an undeveloped heart calling or some vision for growth and well-being which needs to be brought forth.
When we attend to the yearning, allow it to deepen, the Heart Call comes and we have a choice. We can agree to it or refuse it. When we agree to it, allies show up, the universe supports us, synchronicity and intuition flow. Guidance comes in.
As we pass through the stages and the thresholds of this Heart Call, obstacles arise. They strengthen us and hone us and empower us, too, as we find the opportunities on the other side of the obstacles.
In this moment in human history we are all being called—profoundly so—to attend to the changes that are needed now, to do our own deep work and to take that back to their relationships, our communities, and our workplace, to form networks and circles of connection, to see that we are really a microcosm of the macrocosm, to see that our human evolution is at the heart of the planetary evolution. To see breakdown as an opportunity to breakthrough to a new level, a more conscious level, one that is needed now.
When each of us answers our own particular heart calling, we’re doing what we can do to make the world a better place, and we connect with other like-hearted people who are doing the same. Following what calls us on the heart level is one of the most socially responsible things we can do.
