This workshop introduces incarnational spirituality, a view of incarnation as a sacred act and the personal self as a generative spiritual force. Such a perspective may seem surprising or unusual if we interpret spirituality as something beyond this world or wholly transpersonal; or if we view the individual self as obstructing spirit or the achievement of enlightenment. The premise of this workshop is that this physical world is as much a spiritual dimension as any other we may conceive, with its own unique set of challenges, benefits, and potentialities. By being here, we take on the possibility of making a contribution to planetary unfolding and offer the gift of spirit in ways unique to each of us.

The workshop is based on David’s supersensible observations and explorations of the spiritual worlds. The emphasis is on understanding the nature and process of incarnation (which isn’t just for being born anymore!) and discovering spiritual resources within the personal rather than just the transpersonal.

A major tool in the workshop will be a new deck of cards called the Incarnation Deck, a meditative and oracular instrument which David created and designed.

Themes covered in the workshop will include:
