The Long Story of Our Souls Workshop & Registration

To recover the wisdom that we transmigrate from one embodied form to another can allow us to claim the treasures and talents of innumerable past lives—and to transcend the traumas and tragedies that seem to assault us on every side. What if we could reclaim the inner knowing that we are always coming and going, departing and arriving, being born, dying, and returning to all that is – this is the long story of our souls.

A single molecule of water evaporates into mist above a field at sunrise, ascends into the heavens to become a cloud, falls as rain on a distant mountain, becomes ice, becomes snow, descends into the earth, bubbles up in a spring from the rocks and follows gravity to the creek, to the river, to the sea, travels the world, rising and falling, transforming and returning, but never abandons the embrace of this earth.We have, each of us, been snowflakes and glaciers, marshes and estuaries, fog and mists and rain and storm clouds. Life is a long story through deep time. We never transcend the body of this world. We are the body of this world.

How can we access the wisdom that each of our souls holds? How can we recover the lessons we have gleaned from other lives? How does tapping into the long story transform our experience of love and healing, mercy and justice, and life and death itself? How would we live if we knew there was no escape from this world but that we would return to the planet we had already made? What would we do right now? What would we change? What would we claim? What would we initiate?

Together let us explore the possibilities of our own incarnate journey. Who have we been? Why are we here? Who might we be?

We will begin by Imagining Multiplicity and exploring why the modern world has suppressed what was once an everyday belief in reincarnation. What happens when we tap into the confidence of the long story? How does that change our relationship to civilization and its demands?

We will continue to feel our way into our own Intimations of Immortality. How do our talents and trepidations, our yearnings and our aversions, give us insight into other lives? How do we use this wisdom to empower us?

Next, we will consider the power of Karmic Complications and Opportunities in our day-to-day lives. What experiences, patterns, relationships, or problems do we want to be done with? What mistakes are we determined to never make again? But what would we do today if we knew such lessons and steps would follow us into another life? What would we initiate if we knew we had all the time in the world to get it right?

Finally we will imagine what it means to be Reborn into Belonging. In a world where everyone is reborn and our souls are all entangled with each other, how do we experience the lived reality of this—and what does it mean for how we move through our days? What if every being we met has been our mother? What if every being we meet has been our child? How does this change our lived reality of ourselves, everyone we meet and even the earth?
