Friends Together Awake 2.0: The Path of Manifestation
An 8-week chakra course on the Path of Manifestation
In this course, we will start at the crown chakra and work our way down through the system as we each focus on bringing a specific, spirit infused vision into reality on the material plane.
Lead by Meghan Maris & Anne Witmer
8-Week Series: September 9th - October 28th
Zoom Meeting every Wednesday 6:30 – 8:30 pm pst
Pranayama, Asana, Guided Meditation, Discussion and Journaling
Last spring, in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, we wanted to create a virtual community to help people cope with the uncertainty and stress of the times. We called the effort, Friends Together Awake. We sensed the need to come together and support one another’s spiritual growth during an unprecedented moment in history. We utilized the chakra system as a framework for analyzing the personal and societal issues emerging from the crisis. Through direct application of the healing practices specific to each chakra, we began building a foundation to transform into our fuller potential.
Since April, many more unforeseen challenges have come to pass. When we observe the events unfolding around us through the lens of the chakras, we gain a new perspective of our individual and collective programming. With this understanding we are more capable to make new choices which not only support our own well being, but supports the collective. Now is the time to seize the power of our collective awareness and manifest the world we want to live in.
“Ours is an era that future historians will call a time of Great Awakening, a time when humanity’s monumental challenges stimulated the birth of of a new era, a time when the best and the worst of humanity played their parts in the fate of human evolution. But if future generations are alive to tell their story, it will be because the best of humanity prevailed and pulled together with a love so profound that the seemingly impossible was achieved.” – Anodea Judith
Since April, unfortunately, the situation in our country has not improved. In fact, we seem to be spiraling downwards ever-faster.
After 5 months we have failed to gain control over the pandemic and projections for the fall and winter appear dire.
A huge machine of dis-information and conspiracy theories have caused distrust and defiance of science and common sense practices.
The national economy is teetering perilously on the brink of disaster with millions of Americans unemployed or underemployed and rent reprieves and federal financial assistance running out.
While demands for racial and social equity grow louder, police brutality and hate crimes continue to make headlines.
The President has deployed militarized Federal agents into cities to quell peaceful Black Lives Matter protests and defends protecting statues and the confederate flag.
The spectre of Russian interference, voter suppression and health & safety issues all threaten our upcoming election which many consider to be the most important in history.
Four years of cruel divisiveness, corruption and failure of leadership has caused more division, distrust and chaos and has cost over 150,000 American lives.
It is easy to feel helpless at a moment like this, but carving out time for spiritual practice and connection to the sacred each day, is a conscious contribution we can all make to the healing of the world. Although the chaos and turbulence of this challenging time can leave us feeling desperate and disheartened, we are on the verge of a great human awakening and a true evolutionary shift of consciousness. How we emerge from this shifting of energies, is truly up to us.
We are all being asked to step up and become “conscious evolutionaries”, active participants in the co-creation of this emerging reality. This will require each of us to determine how our unique gifts and experiences can best serve this new world we are creating. In other words, we are being called to identify and manifest our true spiritual purpose or dharma. The chakra system is a powerful framework to guide us in this process.
Each week we will host a 2 hour livestream class which will include an hour of the practices of pranayama, asana, mudras, mantras and guided meditation. The second hour will be a discussion about the chakra’s role in the process of manifestation. We will record the sessions and post them to the online community platform Tribe in case you need to miss a week. Tribe is both a way for us to further connection in our community, as well as, be a resource to review any of the practices and material that we covered.
Using Anodea and Lion Goodman’s book “Creating on Purpose” as a guide, together we will work through the unique tasks and challenges presented by each chakra during the manifestation process. We will collectively envision the world we want to live in and identify the unique role each of us plays in manifesting it into reality. We will offer suggested practices including: mudras, mantras, affirmations, readings, manifestation exercises and journaling to work with through the week. Ideally, participants will commit to a daily practice of mediation and visualization as these two techniques are instrumental in the process of manifestation.
This is a call to action!
