Courses and Retreats 2009


This is a special edition of The Ishaya Foundation Newsletter. We have added new types of courses and made some changes in our existing courses that we would like to share with you all. If you have any questions, contact us at contact@theishayafoundation.org or 1-888-474-2921.

Registration is now required for all attendees for the following courses and First Spheres.

In order to help us in scheduling, some courses will have registration deadlines posted.

This easy process is explained in detail following the course descriptions below.

(New)
Advanced weekend
is a new two day course. Saturday is Ascending from 10am-4pm followed by a potluck and then at 7pm, an advanced meeting. Sunday is Ascending from10am-4pm and the day ends with a meeting until 5pm. Bring light snacks for Sunday. Optional lodging may be available for some advanced weekends, otherwise this course is daytimes only.

During this course, participants have an opportunity to experience longer periods of ascending in a group. Discussion periods, with teachers, cover advanced topics and questions about one’s practice.

The cost for the two day advanced weekend is $100 USD. To prepay and register for this type of course, please call 1-888-474-2921 or email contact@theishayafoundation.org.


Retreats may vary in length and they are in a variety of locations around the world. These are a giant step forward in evolution because of the long hours spent in closed eyed ascending. One of the fastest ways to expand consciousness is to spend time exploring it. Attendees gather with teachers each evening for questions on advanced Ascension topics while enabling one to anchor Ascension into their life.

The cost for a retreat is $125 USD per day. This includes the food and lodging.


(New)
Intensive
is a minimum of 10 days and they are currently held in Oregon USA. This course is recommended for the serious student. Its advanced environment is created to simulate aspects of the teacher training program and encourages one to study the inner Self deeply. With higher guidance, participants can recognize and even greater level of commitment in themselves.

An intensive is required to attend Teacher Training.

The cost for the intensive is $125 USD per day and this includes food and lodging, as well as transportation to and from the Portland, Oregon airport.

Testimonials

The retreat allowed the turning point I was looking for.….. Its benefits have been evident in how I respond to my husband, how I view conflict in general, the choices I make to respond to people and events in my life and the world. The retreat and practicing Full Time has helped me form new habits: Eyes Open regularly, the desire to Ascend regularly, 2-3 times a day, minimum.
(Michigan Ascender)

The retreat was life changing for me. I am not sure I know or have experienced the full magnitude of the change in store for me. 2-3 times daily Ascension is quickly becoming a natural part of my life. For the first time it seems easeful to put Ascension / myself first. The benefit is a gentle and graceful expansion of who I am. Little by little I am finding out about myself. I am learning what it means to ask for what I want and I am opening myself up to receive what it is I am asking for. I have begun to believe in myself and that I am worthy of what the universe is offering. This is leading step by step to living my life rather than existing in my life circumstances. I am discovering and listening to my heart and exploring my capacity to acknowledge the things I no longer want to do in my life. This is freeing up space for life to unfold as I know it is meant to.
(Michigan Ascender)

What they say about one retreat feeling like 6 months of ascension - that feels right! When I first got back, I felt quite different - a LOT more grounded and clear and in myself. And, seems to have continued on (I thought it may fade - but also left myself open to the possibility that it may not!).
(Canadian Ascender)


The importance of guidance

Competent guidance is necessary to verify the correctness of the practice. The student may be proceeding completely correctly, but how would she or he ever know without verification from a qualified instructor?

The practice of Ascension is very simple, but it is our old habit to complicate things or to add effort. Effortlessness and innocence is important. Conscious guidance exemplifies this simplicity. There are no “do’s and don’ts” in Ascension, but the more simple we are with Ascension, the more profound the effects.

Whatever the art we are practicing, it is always easier when guided by someone who has gone before us, someone who has mastered the art. Consciousness is no different. Refining our consciousness and our ability to choose for the Ascending current is an art that affects everything in our lives. To master the Art of Ascension is to master human life. There is simply no other art form that is more important and more profound.

As a reminder, we have an interactive bulletin board on our website (you can easily find it in the media lounge drop down menu from any screen, or as an icon on the home page). This is an excellent opportunity to share your questions about ascension or expansion of consciousness and receive guidance 24 hours a day.
