New! Introduction to the Vessels of Peace Path
~~~~ Introduction to the Vessels of Peace Path This five-part teleconference series gives women the chance to learn more about Vessels of Peace as a path of spiritual development and service. Whether you are a new or prospective member, or have been a vessel of peace for many years, we welcome you to take part in any or all of the five calls. Mark your calendar now for these Monday evening dates: March 1: Overview of the Vessels of Peace Path: History, Vision, Offerings, Opportunities All calls are for one hour and begin at 5:30 PM PST/8:30 PM EST. There is no fee, other than your phone plan charges, if the call is long distance for you. To participate, simply send an email to vesselsofpeace@vesselsofpeace.com with your name, email address and “Intro to VoP Series” in the message section, and you will receive a reply with the call number and access code. ~~~~ The Choosing Peace e-Course was developed in response to women’s requests for more in-depth support and guidance on how to be a vessel of peace in everyday life – and is seen as a foundational training for living one’s commitment to be a vessel of peace. The 12-week course is organized around three themes (each with four lessons): Choosing Peaceful Thoughts, Choosing Peaceful Words and Speech, and Choosing Peaceful Actions. So in the first segment, for example, each week’s lesson will look at an aspect of how to understand and transform mind patterns that keep us from thinking peacefully. Peaceful thoughts lead to more peaceful words and speech, which in turn lead to more peaceful actions/behaviors - so each theme builds on and complements the previous one. Each weekend during the course, an email is sent out containing a brief lesson for the next week’s theme-related topic as well as suggestions for further contemplation and for applying the lesson in daily life. Participants are free to work with the lessons at their own pace and in their own way. The course also includes weekly teleconference calls where participants can ask questions of the course facilitators, share experiences and connect with one another. Note: for more information, including when the course will next be offered, email info@vesselsofpeace.com ~~~~ Feminine Spiritual Consciousness 1: March 9 – May 25, 2010
Together with the Choosing Peace course, the Feminine Spiritual Consciousness courses create a safe and sacred space within which to interweave the unfolding of the new peace consciousness and re-emergence of the Feminine within you, with the global interweaving of these two energies that is occurring on the planet. We sense a natural synergy in this “trinity” of courses … a beautiful way for a woman to be supported, in community, as she evolves in her experience of, and commitment to, being a vessel of peace. Course Description Reclaiming Our Sacred Feminine Essence unfolds over 12 weeks, beginning Tuesday, March 9th and completing on Tuesday, May 25th. The course will be co-facilitated by longtime Vessels of Peace members Karen Latvala and Lynda Terry (see bios below), and will meet weekly via teleconference call (5:30-6:30 PM PST/8:30-9:30 PM EST), with email support as needed. All calls will be recorded and archived, so that if you can’t take part in a live call, you can listen online to the lesson at your convenience. The main resource for our journey together will be the book, The 11 Intentions: Invoking the Sacred Feminine as a Pathway to Inner Peace. If you do not yet have a copy, you can purchase one via credit card at Isabella.com or Lulu.com (Find links to these sites here) or via PayPal, check or money order by emailing 11intentions@vesselsofpeace.com for details. In addition to the book, there will be a weekly email call reminder that also includes “going deeper” suggestions, Q&A with Karen and Lynda, and other resources to inspire and support you. You also will have a private website link you can access to listen to the recordings of all call lessons, connect with one another via listserv or discussion forum, and access other audio, video or photos we may provide. The weekly live call lessons will be 60 minutes in length, culminating with a guided meditation related to that week’s theme/question. Several times during the three-month period of the course, there will be an optional post-call sharing/Q&A session after the 60-minute call, which will not be recorded, to protect confidentiality. This will give course participants a chance to receive more individualized guidance and support from the course facilitators and one another. Course Facilitators Karen Latvala has served Vessels of Peace as a member of the Visioning Circle and Core Circle, as a facilitator of various courses, as editor of the newsletter, and as a Vessels of Peace Circle facilitator and mentor. She also is a Life Coach who loves working with women who are consciously evolving on their paths. Lynda Terry, founding member of Vessels of Peace, has served on the Visioning and Core Circles, as a Vessels of Peace Circle facilitator and mentor, was the original editor of the newsletter, and has co-created and facilitated several courses. She also teaches meditation and facilitates retreats for women and is author of The 11 Intentions book.
