Our society is desperately in need of people who are prepared to help midwife Death: to help others approach the last stages of life, and the journey into life beyond life, with courage and grace. The role of the psychopomp is not confined to helping the living to travel the roads beyond Death. It involves helping spirits of the deceased to find their ways. This extraordinary training marries the powerful and original techniques of Active Dreaming to a vitally important agenda: to help souls on both sides of the swing doors of death. It will require you to brave up for a close encounter with your personal Death, and to travel the roads of the afterlife and develop a working geography of the many options available after physical death. What happens after death is far too important for us to rely on hand-me-down beliefs and second-hand accounts. We need first-hand knowledge. We get that by visiting places where the dead are alive, and by receiving visitations from those who have departed this world. Both ways of knowing are opened, easily and naturally, in dreams. The immense body of data on near-death experiences (NDEs) is scientific evidence of the survival of consciousness after the physical body has closed down. Awareness is not confined to the body and brain, and therefore is able to survive death. It is never too early or too late for us to brave up to death and discover what happens on the Other Side. As Montaigne said, “We do not know where death will meet us, so we must be ready to meet death everywhere.” When we are willing to meet death as an ally instead of a dread, we find we have superabundant energy for life and can approach our life choices with the courage and clarity that a close encounter with death may bring. In this training, you will learn how to confirm for yourself, and help others to know that: Contact with the dead, especially in dreams, is entirely natural and going on all the time, because the dead are alive and are often seeking to communicate with us. Healing and forgiveness are always available across the apparent barrier of death. Departed loved ones and ancestors can become family guides and counselors. We can help the deceased when they are stuck or confused. As Yeats said, with poetic clarity, “the living have the ability to assist the imaginations of the dead.” Consciousness operates on many levels, and in several energy vehicles, during life and after death. We can assist the dying to prepare for death by opening to their dreams, and when they do not have a dream, we can bring them one through our Dream Transfer technique. We can call in spiritual guidance and protection and embark on a journey to the Other Side for helpful and timely communication with someone who resides there. Desire and imagination are the building contractors in the afterlife. Through a close-up encounter with our personal Death, we can learn to live and die without regrets, and bring clarity, courage and superabundant energy to life on both sides.
Prerequistes: Our space is limited, and we will give preference for this training to those who have already completed depth workshops with Robert, and/or his online courses for The Shift Network. Recommended reading: Robert’s books Dreamgates (especially Part 3) and The Dreamer’s Book of the Dead. Tuition: $995 (if paid in full before August 1); $1250 after.

WRITING AND CREATING AS A STATE OF CONSCIOUS DREAMING with Robert Moss

Australian Aborigines say that the Big stories are hunting the right people to tell them, like predators stalking in the bush. The trick is to put ourselves in a place where the Big stories can find us. In this splendid adventure in a dream location, we’ll let the Big stories hunt us and make them the substance of the personal mythologies that bring courage, passion and healing into our lives. When we are seized by the Big story, we step beyond limiting definitions and beliefs. Great healing becomes available because we can now draw on the immense energy that is generated by the sense of serving a larger purpose and living a mythic life. The muse, or creative genius, and the intelligences of the world-behind-the-world come to support our life projects because we are following a deeper call. We’ll play wonderful games of coincidence and imagination. We’ll walk in Baudelaire’s forest of living symbols that are looking at us. We’ll develop personal dictionaries of symbols and discover the magnetic power of symbols to bring together inner and outer events. We will draw together a marvelous family of creative dreamers who will support your deepening practice and your life odyssey. We’ll generate the kind of group energy that makes the extraordinarily easy. To create is to bring something new into the world. You don’t need to be a writer or artist or musician to join this adventure, though you may find you have unexpected gifts you can now release.
A word to writers: In a writing life, the great moments are when you are dreaming on paper (or on a keyboard). Words stream almost effortlessly from springs that are not accessible in lesser states of consciousness. Clock time no longer rules. In an expansive now-time, more is possible in minutes than might otherwise come in days. Improbable connections are made and prove to be exactly right. This is a state of conscious dreaming. You straddle the worlds. You are the shaper, not merely the amanuensis, for the images bubbling up from those fresh springs. If you’ve ever been there, you long to be there again. It’s what athletes call the Zone. It’s that sweet place where time moves as fast or slow as you want, and creative connections are made effortlessly. It’s the state of relaxed attention in which the muse or the creative daimon draws close and whispers in your ear. It’s the borderland beyond the tame fields and picket fences of the mind, where it’s easy for the Big story hunting you to find you. This adventure in creative imagination will help you find fresh and delightful ways to tap into your creative source and tell the stories that want to be told through you. We’ll learn how to use powerful and original techniques of Active Dreaming to go beyond blocks and move seamlessly into creative flow. We’ll turn dreams and life memories into drawings and stories, poems and scripts and performance. Our practice will include timed writing exercises, story-swapping, play-acting, shamanic excursions to a Secret Library and other wonderful games to release our inner writer and creator. We’ll all be nourished and nurtured as we grow a supportive circle of creative friends.
Our Dream Location: You will be fed and tended better than you may have thought possible unless you have already experienced Mosswood Hollow, a magical private retreat center nestled in the greenwoods 45 minutes from Seattle. Our days will start with sharing dreams and life stories at the breakfast table. We’ll grow our heart-centered family as our gathering streams into afternoon rambles and berry-picking and evening conversation and informal concerts. We’ll help each other, as dream teachers, to grow our audiences and our tools for marketing and manifestation. We’ll grow visions of bright possibility for our lives, our communities and our world.

WHY ATTEND SUMMER RETREAT?
The primary task of a good transformational retreat, is not to answer your questions, but to question your answers:
Who are we, without our stories? What's that like? Together we get to explore this wonderful experience of being human, thinking, feeling....and play in the mystery.
Nothing like a gathering of like-minded people to share in this powerful understanding, together.
What an amazing gift to step outside of daily life, connect with others, and deeply listen to our inner conversation with reality. Situations, relationships, behaviors come into focus and clarity is found.
This retreat is right for you, if:
You are a beginner to The Work and a beginner to questioning your stressful beliefs. You may be acquainted with the method called The Work of Byron Katie and self-inquiry around what you think, but have not actually practiced it yet or repeated the process enough times to receive the internal benefit. You're aware the way you see something troubling can make all the difference in the world....but you'd like to experience this fully, and understand the process from the neck down.
You're familiar, even well-practiced in The Work, and you're aware every time you join in this practice with others, you learn, grow and expand your ability for insight, love, empowerment, kindness. You're ready for a new step in your awareness and joy (even awe) for being human.
You're a service provider, coach, therapist, parent or healer who supports others, and you know you're capable of offering facilitation that changes lives, rather than see people remain embedded in their difficult stories. You'd like to refine your capacity to work with anyone, especially allowing your own well of unconditional wisdom to be present to others. You know one of the best ways you can bring presence to others, is to feel free within.
You seek change around a particular habit of thinking, a way of being, a compulsive behavior that's confusing, painful, and appears to extend your suffering. You have maybe even "tried everything" to stop the insanity. The Work helps us see the way the mind works, to find freedom from getting caught in the struggle and to finally leave it all alone. Whether you've suffered from binge-eating or obsessive thinking about food and body weight, or, you're reaching for screens, alcohol, buying, trauma history, games, over-working, anxiety, wakefulness, depression....this retreat gives us a dopamine-detox, and nourishing time to support us. The Work aligns beautifully with members of 12 Step Programs and can enhance your experience of recovery.
You have a very painful situation or relationship that isn't going as you truly desire. You're frightened of the future, or very upset and disappointed about the way it went in the past. You may even have lost faith in life, or lost trust. This work helps those of us suffering from a dilemma or a problem to see the meaning we've gotten stuck in, and discover new ways of seeing that bring possibility, and peace, even if we can't change what happened.
You're drawn to spend quality time in a small group, devoting yourself to recognizing the way through and beyond personal dilemmas. You've wanted to attend other in-depth programs (The School for The Work, 10 day Silent Meditation Retreats, Cleanse Retreats, Thought-Leaders' immersion programs) but they are 5x the price or more or scheduled at times you can't attend. You'd like to discover your own answers.
You're seeking a reset button in your life on all the tasks, duties, work, obligations, calendar events, and you're ready for a clean-up. You want to unhook from the usual stream of technology, to disconnect from the pace of "incoming" doing, ingesting, busy-ing.
You're deeply interested in the great existential questions of human life: Why am I here? Who am I? What does it all mean? What is going on? You're a student of life, but you know entering a monastery or becoming a priest or leaving everything behind isn't your path (at least not now). Still, you want to incorporate faith, love, spirituality, religion (for members of a faith community) more fully into your daily life, your daily activities, your ability to serve and to be in love with the world.
Welcome. This retreat is for you.
“I did The Work, because I was in a hurry.” ~ Byron Katie
By the end of our retreat together, you will....
CLEARLY IDENTIFY YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM
You'll look at what you consider to be "problems" (tiny or large) and listen to what your mind says about them, without interruption, without pushing them away.
DISSOLVE SHYNESS, ANXIETY, SHAME
To meet our thoughts about ourselves, what we're most ashamed of, terrified of, and what we feel is unforgivable....is life-changing.
EXAMINE BODY STORIES: PAIN, CRAVING, INJURY
You'll get to see what your worst fears are about this temporary body, your temporary life, and open to who you are beyond body and self identity
EXPERIENCE FREEDOM FROM LONELINESS
You'll question loss, absence, what you believe should be present that is not (money, a person, the way it used to be). You'll question suffering about impermanence.
SEE RELATIONSHIP WITH PEACE
Understand what you can change and what you can't in any situation, with any person, with love, acceptance and even joyful excitement.
COMMUNITY SHARING CONNECTION
Through hearing others' experience, facilitating others and receiving facilitation, you will connect in the most authentic way possible.
BUT ABOVE ALL ELSE...
RETREAT will immerse you strongly in the power of The Work of Byron Katie, so you can relax into the freedom of being a happy human, trust and do what works for you in your unique and beautiful life, find like-minded friends as co-facilitators on the journey, and genuinely welcome what is.
It's not just a lofty dream only a select few are capable of falling into, this loving-what-is way of seeing the world. It is who and what you truly are, what we all are. We recognize this when we don't believe our thoughts.

"I had heard great things about Grace and I was not disappointed. Her way was gentle, and she always had a great reminder/ suggestion/new perspective that really landed for me."
"I feel extremely grateful for this experience. Now I have quirky new ways of looking at things, such as: 'Everything you need to have a wonderful life will come to you'. More slowing down and letting myself be. This retreat has helped me to open my heart to my own life."
"The retreat met my expectations. It's helpful to witness others sharing their stressful thinking and see them turn it around...Makes me feel connected to the human race."
About Grace
After graduating with her Master's Degree in 1997 in Applied Behavioral Science, Grace began working as a Certified Counselor in Washington State in 2003.
After her first School for The Work with Byron Katie in 2005, she changed her entire approach to mental health treatment to focus on the peace and solutions already existing within each of us when we question what we're thinking and believing.
She saw a way of life in practicing self-inquiry that brought loving kindness and empowered acceptance to any troubling situation. She witnessed freedom blossoming in others who had suffered from compulsive behaviors, repetitive fears and angst in relationships. Her private practice built and expanded every year and has been thriving ever since. Gathering in groups is one of her favorite ways of diving into The Work.
"We're all walking each other home". ~ Ram Dass
THIS IS A RETREAT IN SELF-INQUIRY AND KNOWING WHO YOU REALLY ARE
Practicing self-inquiry changes lives

In this high adventure in Active Dreaming, Robert's original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism, you’ll be encouraged to remember and live the deeper story of your life. You’ll find confirmation of things you may have sensed, or glimpsed in half-forgotten dreams or in the path of moonlight on water:
- You are here in this world on a mission
- You had a life before you were conceived, and you’ll have a life after death.
- You belong to a spiritual, as well as a biological family. You have counterparts in other times and in alternate realities, aspects of your larger, multidimensional self
- Dreaming is traveling.
- The events and situations you encounter in physical reality have their genesis in a deeper order of reality that indigenous peoples call the Dreamtime, and you can learn to go there consciously.
- You can visit the Other Side, have timely and helpful communication with the departed in their current living environments – and make Death your ally instead of your fear.
- You are never confined to the body, or the laws of Newtonian physics, except through a failure of imagination.
- Coincidence is when the universe gets personal, and navigating by synchronicity is the dreamer’s way of traveling the roads of everyday life.
You’ll learn practical techniques to bring energy, guidance and healing from a deeper reality into everyday life. You’ll discover how to project consciousness safely beyond the body, how to open gates between the worlds – and how to close them when necessary. You’ll learn how to travel, wide awake and dreaming, to true cities of the imagination, and other places of instruction, adventure and healing in nonordinary reality, and how to read the signs of everyday life as a set of dream symbols.
You’ll be invited to meet your counterparts in other realities, and rise to the knowledge of the Higher Self at the hub of the many aspects of your multidimensional self. In short, this program is an invitation to become a full citizen of the multidimensional universe.
Priority will be given to participants who have already completed depth workshops or online courses with Robert. To be prepared for these adventures, you need to be keeping a journal and you want to read at least one of Rober's books. Conscious Dreaming, Dreamgates and Dreaming the Soul Back Home are especially recommended.

Please join us for our 1st annual Mosswood Hollow gathering of mystics, voyagers and dervishes!
In celebration of Hank and Jill Wesselman, we will remember, review and refine the shamanic teachings we've been given.
As we honor and develop our own unique expression of the Mystery, our ability to embody wisdom grows.
Hank called those who embody two or more ancient wisdom paths, “Twisted Hairs,” and we spent many hours comparing and contrasting the Hawaiian cosmology gifted to us by Hale Makua, with River’s Sufic studies. Along with Hank's teachings, River will introduce elements of this universal Sufi tradition, and incorporate them into our journey practice.
We will come together as community, at a time when we need the Medicine of community more than ever. We'll reconnect to the Land and to our Ancestors and to our own inner guidance. River will introduce a variety of practices that will encourage each participant to build a personal home practice. We will become familiar with our own personal Healing Masters and utilize the combined energies of our circle to promote individual and collective healing.

What does it mean to be present; to our everyday selves, our surrounding environments, the subtle worlds in which we are imbedded and our own spiritual nature? This is the question we seek to answer in an experiential way in this upcoming online class and face-to-face workshop.
For several years in the spring Jeremy Berg and David Spangler (along with many invited guest presenters) have offered an online class exploring our relationship to the Sidhe. This year we wanted to put this work into the larger context of Incarnational Spirituality.
Some time ago David Spangler introduced a “Presence Exercise” as a fundamental practice of Incarnational Spirituality. It was intended to have the practitioner experience the whole self that emerges from the weave of relationships we establish to make physical incarnation possible. Deeply attuning to our Sidhe/Human, Nature/Devic, Soul and Personal Selves enhances the blossoming of our incarnate presence as a blessing in the world.
This class will spend a week online for each of these four relationships. Embedded in this class is also a 3 day weekend face-to-face optional workshop in the Seattle, WA area. This workshop will explore this same territory and partially be recorded and posted online.
Audience: This class is intended for anyone interested in exploring and deepening their emergence presence in the context of Incarnational Spirituality. This class is both online for a month and can include a 3 day weekend March 24-26, 2023 at Mosswood Hollow near Duval, WA.
Cost: $150 Online Only – One Month
$425 3-day weekend face-to-face workshop and one month online. Includes Mosswood day fees and a gourmet lunch each day. Overnight accommodations at the retreat center, breakfasts and dinners are in addition to this cost and can be made separately through Mosswood Hollow,
Duval, WA. Phone: 425 844 9050. Email: paul@mosswoodhollow.org.

Faculty: Jeremy Berg, Freya Secrest, Julia and David Spangler
Dates: March 3- March 31, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
This class is designed to more explicitly connect Lorian’s work with the Sidhe, the intelligences of nature, our soul and everyday selves to the overall work of Incarnational Spirituality. We want to expand our engagement with these realms beyond the idea of personal helpers into the unexplored territory of our shared vision for earth and humanity. In some ways Lorian is entering a new phase of articulating what is meant by a “Gaian Humanity”. This can impact us personally in our daily lives as we become more aware of the subtle life around us and also radiate out into the world for the greater good. As always this Lorian class is experimental and emergent with the help of subtle colleagues. It is a creative exploration together of deepening and discovery with each realm.

Our society is desperately in need of people who are prepared to help midwife Death: to help others approach the last stages of life, and the journey into life beyond life, with courage and grace. The role of the psychopomp is not confined to helping the living to travel the roads beyond Death. It involves helping spirits of the deceased to find their ways.
This extraordinary training marries the powerful and original techniques of Active Dreaming to a vitally important agenda: to help souls on both sides of the swing doors of death. It will require you to brave up for a close encounter with your personal Death, and to travel the roads of the afterlife and develop a working geography of the many options available after physical death.
What happens after death is far too important for us to rely on hand-me-down beliefs and second-hand accounts. We need first-hand knowledge. We get that by visiting places where the dead are alive, and by receiving visitations from those who have departed this world. Both ways of knowing are opened, easily and naturally, in dreams.
The immense body of data on near-death experiences (NDEs) is scientific evidence of the survival of consciousness after the physical body has closed down. Awareness is not confined to the body and brain, and therefore is able to survive death.
It is never too early or too late for us to brave up to death and discover what happens on the Other Side. As Montaigne said, “We do not know where death will meet us, so we must be ready to meet death everywhere.” When we are willing to meet death as an ally instead of a dread, we find we have superabundant energy for life and can approach our life choices with the courage and clarity that a close encounter with death may bring.
In this training, you will learn how to confirm for yourself, and help others to know that:
· Contact with the dead, especially in dreams, is entirely natural and going on all the time, because the dead are alive and are often seeking to communicate with us.
· Healing and forgiveness are always available across the apparent barrier of death.
· Departed loved ones and ancestors can become family guides and counselors.
· We can help the deceased when they are stuck or confused. As Yeats said, with poetic clarity, “the living have the ability to assist the imaginations of the dead.”
· Consciousness operates on many levels, and in several energy vehicles, during life and after death.
· We can assist the dying to prepare for death by opening to their dreams, and when they do not have a dream, we can bring them one through our Dream Transfer technique.
· We can call in spiritual guidance and protection and embark on a journey to the Other Side for helpful and timely communication with someone who resides there.
· Desire and imagination are the building contractors in the afterlife.
· Through a close-up encounter with our personal Death, we can learn to live and die without regrets, and bring clarity, courage and superabundant energy to life on both sides.
