2. Overview:
Our focus is on the authenticity that emerges when we are intentional about how we engage in the process of integrating mind/body/spirit. There is a natural evolution to this process that is enhanced by specific practices and supportive community. We offer a smorgasbord of skills and tools for anyone on a spiritual pilgrimage. We describe and prescribe practices for individuals and communities that foster authenticity. The practices evolve as do we. We are committed to bringing these opportunities to as many souls as possible. We invoke Spirit in this process and we invite you to share in this delicious and invigorating journey.
3. AUTHENTICITY SERIES DESCRIPTION
The Authenticity movement is a beacon drawing Spirit-minded people to recognize the truth that we have what is needed within to author the life we desire. More of the planet is choosing to be aware of Spirit’s presence in all.
The word authenticity is derived from the Greek, authentikos, and from autos, self, and entea, meaning instruments. We become “practitioners” and learn tools to author our lives with intention and grace. The Authenticity Series lends assistance to our expansion of divine experience and service. As practitioners we participate consciously in a journey of uncovering more and more of our divine essence. In this revealing, our authenticity unfolds. The Authenticity Series© invites us as modern mystics to claim our identity as playful, creative, and spiritual beings, engaging with the deepest and most delightful parts of ourselves. Being of service is a natural and powerful outcome. We learn how to play well with others, becoming what and who we are designed to be – divine beings having a human experience. The Authenticity Series invites creation of conscious experiences.
The Ten Authenticity Series courses are:
- Authenticity: Awakening the Power of You
- Creating and Celebrating Abundance
- Authentic Compassion for Yourself and Others
- Claiming Authentic Archetypes
- Callings and Authentic Nudges
- Authentic Surrender: Resting Into Spirit
- Authentic Companioning on the Spiritual Path
- Ego in Service of Authenticity
- Intimacy: Encounters of Authenticity
- Authentic Transitions: Transformation and Transcendence
4. Authenticity: Mindful and Momentous Living, the book.
Authenticity: Mindful and Momentous Living, a forthcoming book, is the result of three years of working with the Authenticity Series© material and the hundreds of practitioners that have participated in the development of the courses, workshops and retreats.
The book is designed to be used by individuals for their own enlightenment or in small groups. Each chapter includes exercises for individuals and communities. If small groups want to supplement their work of the book together, they may also download each of the ten workbooks for a deeper experience as a group. Each of the workbooks is designed for a group to go through a six-week learning experience together. Facilitation of the classes may easily be rotated if desired. If facilitators of small Authenticity groups want support, we are available to coach them through the process.
