Dear Second Birth Community,

We celebrate your passage into your second life and welcome you into the sacred journey of deepening into the totality of who you are. The second birth marks the beginning of a whole new life and an extraordinary core healing that awaits your discovery.

The shift from perceiving yourself as a merely separate individual to realizing yourself as a non-separate embodiment of Being is immense. The consequences of this shift are deep and far-reaching, and are often confusing when experienced without the help of others who can look back at it with years of perspective.

Saniel and the Waking Down teachers have long agreed that second life orientation courses and appropriate support systems are crucial factors in reducing unnecessary pain and confusion, and in promoting whole-Being ease and wellness at this stage in your process.

Our purpose is to help you complete the healing of ancient wounds and conditioning, navigate the challenges of love, mutuality, and relationship, claim your uniqueness, and express your natural gifts and genius in the world.

To help you more deeply understand and orient to your new condition, we invite you join us for a very special Welcome To Your Second Life course (WTYSL), to be held March 4, 5, 6, 7 in Marin County, CA, just north of San Francisco. Click Here to Register

This course is a tribal gathering, celebration, and sharing that inspires and nourishes all who attend. It is a deep and powerful group exploration of the many joys and challenges that all practitioners face at this stage in the journey. Engaging this exploration together is often a life-changing event  sometimes even more so than the second birth transition itself.

Here are a few of the many topics we will be covering on the course:

The Wakedown Shakedown – the Transfiguration passage:

• What is it really about?
• What’s heal-able and what’s just who you are?
• How is the shakedown different for different people?
• How can you work with extreme feelings and experiences that arise?

Waking, Down, and Mutuality …

• What role does Waking play after the second birth?
• Is there a “bottom” to all the down exploration?
• Why the embodiment process is such a powerful need
• What is mutuality and how does it evolve after the second birth?

Your Deepening Unfoldment …

• Your own Divinely human emergence
• The joys and challenges of individuating
• The fulfillment of your unique purpose
• Discovering trust in self, trust in others, and trust in Being

This will be the twelfth WTYSL course we have presented. Many of those who have attended have gone on to train as Mentors, and many have become Teachers. While WTYSL is a prerequisite for Mentor Training, we want to make it clear that this course is not intended only for those who wish to become Mentors. This course is for everyone who has transitioned into the second life and wants to benefit from the immense cultural wisdom that has been collected about it.

As usual, there will be a high ratio of teachers to participants. The course will be taught by senior teachers. Morning large group meetings will focus on topics mentioned above (along with others that are important to you); afternoon small groups are designed to assist you in your most cutting-edge personal exploration. We’ll encourage the small groups that form during this course to continue meeting by telephone for a few months after the event for the sake of deepening support and mutuality.

COST

The cost for this event is $575 if paid by December 5, and $625 if paid after that date.

If you have already taken the course, you may repeat it for $400 if paid by December 5. Each course has a different flavor, depending on the teachers and the group that gathers, so we encourage you to take this course many times, if you are so drawn.

LOGISTICS

Your Second Birth must be confirmed to attend this event. If you are needing confirmation, please contact Linda, Sandra, or Van for a Second Birth interview. For contact info: email wakingdown@earthlink.net or call 888-741-5000.

The course will begin Friday, March 4 at 6:30pm, 10 AM – 5:30 PM on Saturday and Sunday, and 9 – 11:30am on Monday

LODGING AVAILABILITY

We have rented a beautiful home for the retreat. There are rooms available for those coming from out of town. If you have an interest in staying in the house, please let me know. Rooms will be rented on a first come, first served basis. Click Here to Register.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If you cancel by January 1, $100 of your payment will be forfeited and the balance will be refunded. If you cancel between January 1 and January 29, $200 of your payment will be forfeited and the balance will be refunded to you.

If you cancel after February 18, $300 of your payment will be forfeited and the balance can be applied toward future IAM courses or events (there will be no refund).

The Teachers welcome you and encourage you to join us at this auspicious gathering. We look forward to sharing in the exploration of your new life!
Hope to see you there!

Warmly,

Hillary Davis
for The Institute of Awakened Mutuality

Testimonials from those who have taken the Welcome to Your Second Life Course:

Walking into a room full of people in their second lives brought me an incredible feeling of warmth, aliveness, and room-to-be-me! It was like we had all moved to a new universe, with a brand new perspective, but we didn’t know there were others there with us, and we finally found each other! Being held by such loving, skillful teachers brought forth more gifts, more freedom to soar, and the awakened community welcomed me home, into my own Self, my own body. — Lena O’Neill

WTYSL was just what I needed. It embraced me in the full range and expression of my new life and was a balm of “OK-ness” that I needed to reassure me that I was on track.
— Cielle Miller

I’m amazed at what I’m glimpsing of mutuality. It is multi-dimensional and alive! WTYSL was one of the most powerful times of my life. I came back home a different person.
— Susan Albers

For me, WTYSL and DSL were more profound than my second birth!
— Dave Albers

WTYSL and DSL were both a level above my usual wonderful experiences at Transfiguration Retreats. Being with only second life people is an honor and deeply catalytic. Everything moves faster. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I learned much more clearly what Mutuality really means and the strategies I have used in my life to avoid this level of intimacy and vulnerability.
— Gautama Katzman

WTYSL was transformative in every way. I had no expectations, but I got more than I could have imagined. Highly recommended!!!
– Ken Dvoren

General Information

Our annual 8 day Transfiguration Retreat is held in May each year.

These retreats are extraordinary gatherings of the community of Waking Down in Mutuality practitioners, mentors, and teachers. Our group will become a sacred container for the precious work that unfolds through our collective presence.

Our focus on Individuality and Mutuality will bring us into a deep consideration of how we tend to feel we don’t belong if we’re different. Celebrating our differences is so much a part of Waking Down in Mutuality but it can take some time and exploration to find the feeling of safety and belongingness, especially relative to spiritual groups. Our aim is to make a lot of space for us all to be who we are and come together in whatever ways are natural.

In the early mornings after breakfast, you can choose from special optional sessions, such as silent meditation, dancing your prayers, shamanic work, and explorations in conscious embodiment.

Mid-morning, we’ll divide into several larger sittings for gazing meditation and conversation about your process. After lunch, small group meetings will be held. In each of these groups, one or two teachers, joined by a mentor assistant, will facilitate 5 or 6 students in deeper individual work and mutuality in an intimate, highly personalized setting. The afternoon closes with a gathering called Nectar, an optional non-verbal space to allow the day to settle and integrate into our bodies. The Nectar sessions are led by various teachers who offer gentle music. People sleep, rest, or sit silently as they bathe in this peaceful time.

On many evenings we offer special optional events – parties, a creative expression night, presentations, and sittings. Our parties are always a wonderful and deeply treasured feature of our Transfiguration Retreats, and our creative expression nights are consistently stunning.

Mid-week, on Wednesday, everyone takes a day off to integrate and relax in their own ways. You might arrange an outing alone or with others. Or, you might simply choose to stay on the grounds and rest. Meals will be provided for those staying on site.

PREREQUISITES

Because Transfiguration Retreats are such powerful events, we require all participants to have previous experience with Waking Down in Mutuality, through both direct contact with teachers and also basic conceptual knowledge from reading. Prerequisites for those attending for the first time include a minimum of 5 sessions by phone with a Waking Down teacher, and/or attending at least 5 Waking Down sittings in person.
