mind, and mind in relation to the body. T en we will experience both the still and the thinking mind in sequence, and lastly consider applications of nondual awareness for the psychotherapeutic encounter. An awesome experience! Join us for a refreshing, insightful, and somewhat pleasant, if not an enlightening, startling experience. And yes, words are diffi cult. Peace. Just be Peace. T ank you. At the end of this workshop, you are better able to: 1. identify client’s underlying possible belief structure, resistance, and secondary gain behind client’s maintenance of the client’s presenting problem.


2. clinically apply in an outpatient psychotherapy setting various nondual awareness based interventions for cli- ent’s use in ameliorating presenting problem.

 PETALUMA ROOM


Humans have been gifted the most puzzling role in the unfolding of the universe – the role is to be the housing for a unique 2-part style of consciousness, that is a key player in the evolution of life in the universe. T is is recorded in all the great wisdom traditions of the world, shamanic and contemplative alike. T e diffi culty is that we’ve be- come enamored with one of those parts, which only allows us to see a few pieces of the whole at a time and is solely geared to ‘do’ things. In fact, its job is to carry out intricate instructions that the other part of consciousness receives from the ‘One’ intelligence that we are. In modern cultures, we call this other part of consciousness the ‘un-‘ or ‘sub-‘ conscious realm. So here we sit – unaware of the whole system housed within us, and only with awareness that there are things to ‘do’. We can think about ‘being’ in a larger state of awareness, but it can be rather hard to achieve, and when we do, we no longer know how the ‘being’ actually expresses itself in the world of form. We try to fi gure it out and end up in ‘doing’ again, puzzled about how to allow the unfolding […and will anything get done?] Nature is comprised of systems – intricate interrelations between various energies and life forms – and every system is connected to other systems. Janine Benyus reminds us that nothing in nature exists outside a system, and life always produces what is conducive to life. T e universe and life evolved through the magic of these interrelations for millions of years. T en we humans were spoken into being, and eventually our unique 2-part consciousness evolved. You see the problem – awake as we are, we can’t perceive the system. We’re eff ectively on the outside with no view of a way back in. What we need is a bit of education – we need to learn again how consciousness has spoken us into being, and


be that. Only in being fully who we are, awake to our puzzling and magical gift, will we be able to live into the questions of our times instead of haggling over who has the right answer. Join me for the education of a lifetime, through the shaman’s lens.

Consciousness as Nonduality, Duality, Plurality: Working with Science and other Wordviews in a Diverse World, Elisabeth Sathouris


 TIBURON ROOM


At the Sages and Scientists Conference earlier this year, Dr. Marilyn Schlitz urged us to 1) recognize that we have biases/assumptions, 2) work to cultivate healthy skepticism (even as we “prove” our own theories), 3) recognize that consciousness “matters,” but that it isn’t “matter.” Humanity must now solve Global Crises by collaboration and cooperation: how can it do so without becoming


a Monoculture, instead preserving the very diversity that spawns creativity? To answer this question, we need to gain a clear and practical understanding of the inevitability and necessity of unproven assumptions in both science and society, among individuals and groups. In this workshop, which will prepare the participants to understand my presentation more deeply, we will address questions such as: Have I uncovered my own defi nition of and assump- tions about consciousness, what it is, how it relates to others’ consciousness, how it can be studied? What is the relationship between consciousness and nonduality? Can “I” (“my” consciousness) exist in nonduality? Why is the scientifi c view of consciousness important to the human future? What are my own fundamental assumptions about the world and how it can change? How can understanding my own assumptions and those of others change both their lives and mine, if not the whole world?
