Do You Know? Moving from Trance-formation to Transformation Retreat at Prairiewoods
<p><em>Trance-formation</em> or <em>transformation</em>? The wisdom teachers throughout the ages have implored us to wake up! To arise out of our half-conscious state of pervasive mindlessness, transform to fully embrace the core of our divine reality. In this weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), facilitator Tom Roberts will guide us to continue our work of expanding the imposed (self and other) limitations that too often restrict our personal and spiritual progress. We will look closely, with care and compassion, at our limitations (those hard edges), transforming them into expansive permissions of authenticity and spiritual enrichment that will be absorbed into more and more areas of our lives. The cost of this weekend retreat is $230 and includes sessions, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $180 and includes sessions, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p>
