Caroline Myss: Entering the Castle

This programme is not currently scheduled.

Caroline returns to Findhorn offering this dynamic exploration of the spiritual path - she says that spirituality through books is not enough and meditation alone is not a spiritual path. So how does one access the soul? How does one enter the castle without a guide?

Entering the Castle: exploring your mystical experience of God is based upon material from her new book, Entering the Castle, released in spring, 2007. This intensive programme leads you towards becoming a mystic without a monastery, towards discovering what it means to live a fulfilling life exactly where you are, as who you are, and with the people who are walking this life with you.

Too many people are in pain because they feel they need to leave their homes to be happy and to be spiritual. What you may need is to learn how to channel grace into your home life, and how to spiritually renovate your life to follow a new soul calling.

Today there is a new archetype for the mystic that is emerging: a mystic without a monastery. Mystics are individuals, just like you, with an ordinary (or somewhat ordinary) life, a family, a partner, a profession - and yet simultaneously seeking to develop a mystical interior life and through that connection, find a compassionate spiritual path of service in this world.

In this 3-day workshop Caroline explores the mystical renaissance that is awakening in people everywhere. She says, "Mystics, contrary to what most people think, are not individuals who seek life in a monastery or ashram because they want to be isolated from the rest of the world. Mystics are individuals who have been called by the Divine to engage with life through inner vision, to understand the mysteries of the Divine, and to be of service in this world through the power of the soul.

"Most of the renowned mystics that so many people are familiar with, like Francis of Assisi and Teresa of Avila, had dynamic and powerful personalities. Heaven chooses rebels to be mystics because so much is expected of them. These great mystics changed their worlds, and many of them rarely left their monasteries. Their souls did the work for them. They knew what it was to develop a soul with stamina and to utilise that stamina within their lives.

"The new age created any number of mythologies, not the least of which is that to follow one's highest potential, a person has to leave their home and their relationships and start a healing centre or do some other such thing . . . and most of these people end up waiting and waiting and waiting for their highest potential to come to them - with a guarantee that it won't cost them any money and they won't be alone. All that is such nonsense. A person does not have to leave hearth and home to change this world nor do they have to do something dramatic in the outside world; a mystic never had to leave the monastery to draw his or her followers.

"Let your soul do the work for you. Learn how to channel grace; learn how to be still and let a healing force run through you to others; learn how to use silence to heal a room in chaos. These are among the true gifts of the spirit and are of more benefit to humanity than you can possibility measure."
