The Seminar will take place at Cobble Hill Farm, a 100 acre farm along the White River in Rochester, Vermont. During this three day seminar we will consult I Ching, The Oracle of the Cosmic Way, by Carol K. Anthony and Hanna Moog. Conscious Conversation group work and individual Myofascial Release therapy will support and extend the inner knowledge unveiled by consulting the I Ching.

During the course of the three days we will gain skills to best utilize the I Ching for group and individual consultations including:

• Methods of questioning the Sage for those who are new to using the I Ching.
• How to deprogram collective ego messages, spells, poison arrows, sick-making thoughts etc. for one’s self and family.
• How to recognize unhelpful programs that are active in the psyche of an individual.
• How to understand the idea of Cosmic Helpers and how to ask for help.
• To recognize conditioned ego responses and emotional reaction in interactions with others.
• To identify, acknowledge, and discriminate between ego-based emotion and true feeling.
• To suspend beliefs, attachments, and ego-identifications, that prevent open, graceful dialogue.
• To dialog clearly with courage and honesty, as we unveil our deeper wisdom and purpose.
• To notice and listen to our posture, aches, and pains as bodily clues that there is something to be deprogrammed
• To enjoy the release that comes with inner understanding in conjunction with hands-on supportive bodywork.
• An individual one hour Massage Therapy sessions will be scheduled during the afternoon relaxation break or after dinner.

Often there comes a time in our lives when we realize with a shock that we have spent our years chasing a phantom. The success we were promised for conforming to the values we were taught has turned out to be a shell without substance. Somewhere deep inside we feel this longing to fulfill our uniqueness — to be who we truly are. The I Ching informs us that fulfilling our uniqueness means fulfilling our Cosmic destiny. The place where we find it is inside us, in our inner truth, also known as our DNA. Everything in our nature is set up perfectly to allow us to express our uniqueness — our unique combination of talents and past experiences. It is never “too late” to realize our uniqueness.

In this seminar, you will be examining and removing the main blockages that are preventing you from understanding your unique Cosmic Destiny.

It is part of a healthy personality to occupy a space that is ours alone. This is the space that allows us to grow and unfold without interference by anyone, be it our parents or other persons who assume authority over us. This space exists inside us, and also has its correspondence in an outer space, large or small. The focus in this seminar is on our inner, psychic space. It is there that we find access to our inner truth — that inner well of accumulated wisdom that the I Ching calls a “clear cold spring” from which we can drink, and which nourishes our whole being. We are born with the ability to say “No” when someone intrudes into the space over which we alone are sovereign.

Unfortunately, that sovereignty is taken away from us at a very early age when we are told that what we feel is “only subjective,” or that “we have no right over ourselves,” or if we assume this right we are giving way to the “evil inherent in our nature.” These statements often come from parents who believe these things, and who keep a close watch to prevent any exercise of our sovereignty. They do this in the belief that they are doing it “for our own good.” Our ability to say “No” to what does not resonate with our inner truth is thus taken away from us, and in the process, we lose our boundaries. The I Ching shows us that we can re-establish our boundaries by learning to say an inner No in such a way that it does not arouse the ego in others, while simultaneously engaging Cosmic help.

Boundary issues play a vital role in all relationships, including the relationship we have with ourselves. Success in business, as well as in many situations involving our survival is often a matter of having our boundaries intact. A lack of boundaries is the source of big fears, such as the fear of being engulfed by others, the fear of losing ourselves, the fear of being taken advantage of, and the fear of not being able to live our lives fully. A lack of boundaries also acts as a magnet that draws the very things we are afraid of.

The participants will investigate the most important causes of their boundary issues with the goal to free themselves from these obstructions.

Prerequisite for attending this seminar: At least six months of practical experience with our book I Ching, The Oracle of the Cosmic Way.
