New online retreat on 'Living from Love'

It's been a while ... the winter has been extremely cold up here in the North of Montreal. This slows everything down, including the imagination, it seems!

But about two weeks ago, inspiration hit, and I had the idea of organizing a new retreat with the theme of 'Living from Love'. You'll find out everything about it on the website: www.living-from-love.com.

Go check it out, and I hope you will join us in this new adventure!

With much love

People wrote such touching notes of appreciation and gratitude during and after the retreat that I decided to put up a new page with their comments. 

Check it out, it's the comments page!
 
And I'd like to use this opportunity to express my appreciation and gratitude to all of you, speakers and participants,  who have made this retreat possible. It was such an incredible experience, and it wouldn't have happened at all without you! 

Thank you, from my heart,

grace

Almost four weeks have passed already since the retreat. I needed some time to rest and let the experience settle. And then I found that the Healing and Awakening theme continued to be very alive for me. So I started revising the website and creating 'digest versions' of the meditation and sharing sessions. The idea is for the retreat to be more permanently available on the website.
 
So here is what you will find on the program page now:
  • Videos of the conversations with the speakers
  • Videos of the meditation and sharing sessions:
You will find YouTube links to the entire sessions, as well as 'video digest' versions focusing on the theme of the session. The video on 'What is healing?' is definitely very inspired! Have a look, it's the first video of the Sunday program.
  • Mp3 links for listening and downloading
for all the conversations with the speakers as well as for the digest versions of the meditation and sharing sessions are now also available. Many thanks to Rick Archer for his help with converting and hosting the files! 

Living the retreat experience:
If you haven't been able to take time for the whole of the weekend, or you have friends who may be interested, you can still do so now. The program page gives you a time schedule that you can follow as you create your own retreat at home! It won't be the same as the live retreat, but who knows, it may be just right for a weekend or a day. You can even invite friends to share the retreat with you!

 What's ahead?
I have some ideas about how to continue the Healing and Awakening offering, and I will be in touch about these some time soon. Here's what's on my mind:
  • An online day event in 2014: I'm thinking of re-inviting Jeff Foster and Anita Moorjani for this, and one or more others. Your suggestions are welcome!
  • Online meditation and sharing sessions once a month, starting in January 2014.
  • Healing and Awakening small groups (also online), in which we can look more individually at how healing and awakening intersect in our lives.

Last but not least: thank you...
... for your generosity in donating!
39 of you made a donation, anywhere between $2 and $100. The overall amount (after Paypal fee deductions) reached the sum of $1,115. This covers all actual expenses and leaves a very modest amount that goes towards the work that went into organizing the retreat as well as the website, video and mp3 work that I've been doing since.
If you haven't made a donation yet and feel moved to do so now, please go to the donate page. All contributions are appreciated.

With much love and gratitude,

grace

PS: ... and I'd like to thank Wendy Ayotte for all her help 'behind the scene' during the retreat! I expressed my thanks during the retreat, but I wanted to do it 'officially', too.

The retreat is over ... long live the retreat!

Yes, the retreat is over! 

It was beautiful, rich with the different 'flavors' and colors of the speakers' unique contributions to it.

So: 
I've decided to keep it accessible for those who've only found out about it after it was over, and want to do the retreat on their own, or just watch or listen to some of the sessions. And, of course, it'll also be available for all of you who participated and who missed a session or want to watch or listen to it again.

You can WATCH the sessions on the Program page.

Or you can LISTEN to them as mp3s: they'll soon be uploaded, stay tuned!

Enjoy!

With much love,

grace

  • The latest news on registrations: they've passed 400 and are still going up!
  • The links and access details for the day will be sent out each day before the program starts.
  • Videos of the sessions will be available for watching after the sessions on the same links that you use for watching them live.
  • They'll probably be available for a few days after the retreat as well.

Registrations are up to 250 as of Sunday evening! 
I'm in awe ... 
Thank you to all of you who have registered for your interest, trust, and resonance and affinity with the spirit of this retreat! May it be a healing and awakening occasion for all of us.

Picture
I'll be sending the tech details out in the next few days. 
Right now I'm researching laptops, as I'm not sure my current one is still reliable enough. This wasn't planned, but here you go. 
One step at a time. 
Things are unfolding just perfectly, even with all the unforeseen that happens!

Picture
I've been doing trial hangouts with the speakers, just to make sure the Google hangouts work for everybody involved.
3 are done, 5 more to go. 3 of those arranged: one with John Prendergast tonight, another one tomorrow morning with Della, the third one with Scott Kiloby on Wednesday. The last two to be arranged for early this week. ... 
Another item almost ready to be ticked off my list!

More news soon, stay tuned!

With much love and gratitude,

Registrations are going up steadily

Registrations for the retreat have passed the 150 mark today, and they're climbing steadily. 

It's been exciting to see them come in over the last two weeks. Participants are from the US and Canada, many of the European countries, Australia and New Zealand, South America, and there is one registration from Russia and two from Vietnam. 

So one part of my vision for the retreat is already fulfilled: that it bring people together from all over the globe.

Another, even more important part of my vision is that it reach as many people as possible. Several hundred would be quite wonderful and seem definitely feasible at this point. Over a thousand would be awe-inspiring! 

Dare I dream? 

Yes! 

And you can help make this dream come true by spreading the word. You can 
  • tell your friends, colleagues, clients;
  • share the event in spiritual, self-help, personal development, or therapists groups that you are a member of;
  • use social media, e-mail, newsletters. 
It's so easy these days to get the news out.

A big thank you for passing it on!

With much love

Great news: the retreat will be livestreamed by video!

So the 'retreat technology' is starting to be settled: 
You'll be able to watch the whole retreat on video! If you don't want to be on the computer, you will also be able to listen by phone or online, as far as the meditation and sharing sessions are concerned, and possibly for some of the conversations with the speakers.

As far as your own participation and contributions go: 
During the meditation and sharing sessions, you'll probably be able to ask questions and share your experience through Google hangouts if you're familiar with that platform. If you're a low tech person, you will be able to listen and call in by phone, or online. During the sessions, you can use the comment section of the YouTube channel on which the sessions will be broadcast.

As all these aspects are coming together, the retreat is starting to be more and more real. I so look forward to sharing it with all of you!
