• Why do we do things that
aren’t good for us?
\n • Why does our wi
ll fail us when we want to make positive changes?<
br />\n • Why do we behave in ways that aren't
who we are\, deep down?
\n • If we listen
to our authentic self\, where the divine emerges w
ithin\, we are guided unerringly.
\n • Th
at voice is our self love\, that is Love\, and the
guidance it gives stops being discipline in the t
raditional sense because it is truthful and kind\,
making it unavoidable.
\n • Join us in e
xploring the space where self love and self discip
line merge in the flame of divinity for living an
authentic life.
In this workshop we wi
ll bring together contemplative practices\, light
reading\, and interaction for an embodied experien
ce where we align our hearts and minds to access t
he wisdom there. We are also imperfect\, perhaps m
essy beings\, and we will embrace that. Please bri
ng your sense of wonder\, a sense of humour\, and
curiosity for seeing in new ways!
\n
\
n The contemplative practices we will use include
meditation\, journaling\, walking\, noticing\, and
more.
\n
\n You can expect to:
\
n • Discover new ways for more effective self l
ove.
\n • Be more in touch with your authe
ntic\, divine self\, i.e.\, the inner voice of tru
th.
\n • See how healthy self discipline n
aturally grows from clear and kind self love.
\n • Use emerging awareness and progress for
positive feedback and further growth.
\n •
Understand and feel how divine connection brings
clarity and discernment\, so that self love merges
with self discipline.
\n
\n When we t
alk about the divine\, it will be from an inclusiv
e stance that could be Spirit\, Source\, the Unive
rse\, God\, Higher Power\, Buddha\, Nature\, or wh
atever respectful and holy name you choose.

\n About Phil Rogacki
\n He writes: "I have been on a spiritual path
my entire adult life. Along with a deep immersion
in contemplative Christianity\, I have studied Bud
dhism and Shamanism\, and blend many eclectic sour
ces into my teaching. My training and experience h
ave shown me that a path of love and compassion is
the most powerful and revolutionary effort we can
make\, because it transforms individuals and soci
ety at a foundational level. If we feel a part of
the interconnected web of life\, we naturally act
in concert with each other and the earth.
"I am offering this workshop because I believe
it will resonate with people who are aware of all
that is going on globally and are feeling a resul
ting uneasiness that may throw us off. We always n
eed grounded compassion and love\, and especially
now. By deepening into divinely inspired self love
\, a natural self discipline emerges to keep us ro
oted in spirit\, and that flows out into the conti
nuum around us."
