Codes! Each of us is a treasure trove of codes. We’re enthralled, provoked, unsettled, and called forth by codes! We’re drawn to their mystery and their promises to reveal who, what, and why we are. There is the Da Vinci Code, codes hidden in the Bible, and esoteric codes passed in secret for generations. There are codes in pyramids, in molecules, and in galaxies. Science brims with great cosmic codes and those tucked into the innermost recesses of our DNA.
Why was I born? Where did I come from? Where am I going? What am I here to do. To be? How am I living? These are questions we all ask ourselves. Increasingly, individuals are feeling the call to a greater awareness and a higher usefulness. In times of tremendous upheaval, we have no clear maps or designs. How can we align with the highest purpose and live fully primed in its power? How can we become aware of our higher destiny, dedicated to moving toward it with excitement, joy, and panache?
The last 30 years have seen a revolution in the understanding of human potential in cultures around the world. The codes and teachings once nurtured in separate societies are becoming available to the entire family of humankind. All cultures have valuable strategies and stories to offer the whole. Jean Houston has had the high honor of helping to study and harvest the genius of over 40 cultures. Each culture can seed other cultures, while preserving and enhancing their essential differences.
Dr. Houston says, “As living musicians in the orchestra of life, we have at our fingertips millions of keys, but because we’ve been conditioned to a sense of deprivation and limitation, we play on only a few of these keys. The intensity of this time burns in me because of a vision of a new interdependent world. Blessedly, this inclusive worldview inspires us with renewed hope and caring.”
In this time of crisis, when most people talk about what can’t be done, Jean’s vision offers hope for transforming the way we live together on this good earth. She will help us discover the hidden codes that will enable us to become stewards of the planet, filled with a passion for all that’s possible, partners in the greatest social transformation ever known. This workshop costs an additional $30.
Dr. Jean Houston is an internationally known philosopher, author, behavioral scientist, and cultural historian. Since 1965, she’s studied states of consciousness, accelerated mental process, time distortion, neural reeducation, creativity, and peak experiences. She continues to develop revolutionary ways of unlocking the latent human capacities in every human being. Traveling as much as a quarter of a million miles a year, she helps people expand so their highest mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual capacities can emerge. She has written or cowritten 19 books, including A Passion For the Possible, A Mythic Life, Life Force, The Possible Human, Godseed, The Search for the Beloved, and Mind Games. Jean will be joined by Peggy Rubin, who has been Dr. Houston’s associate for 19 years. Before that, she was Education and Public Information Director for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for 14 years, and she is a true midwife of souls. We welcome the return of these amazing pioneers of a new consciousness.
“I think that Houston has broken through to a new understanding ... The accent is not on the curing of disease but on the enlargement, rather, of our health.”
— Joseph Campbell
“Jean Houston is the ultimate optimist. Experience the rush of hope Jean, in her brilliance, brings”
