The ninth wave is an old sailor’s expression that refers to a wave that is so massive and unexpected that it can devastate any ship and its crew. The choice of this title and painting - The Ninth Wave by Ivan Aivazovsky (1850) - is a nod to the Pathwork Guide’s first lecture - The Sea of Life - in which he poses the question: what kind of captain are you?
What better question to ask ourselves during this time.

We are in the midst of a pandemic, witnessing civil unrest and experiencing a wobbling economy. The only thing certain is uncertainty. We are in liminal space, neither in our old world nor yet in a new one. We are living through the prediction the Pathwork Guide offered us decades ago. He foretold a great influx of Divine energy coming to our planet bringing the potential for greater consciousness and love. He warned that wherever individuals and institutions were not aligned with this new energy they would experience crisis and perhaps even crumble. Are we not watching this unfold before our eyes? Certainly, we need to buckle up because this ride is not over.

   In this four-day Zoom retreat we will gather as a tribe of intrepid truth seekers to explore where we are; how to make use of these precarious days; and to dive into ourselves with these questions: Who am I now? where do I want to go?  We could also pose it this way: Who are we now? where do we want to go?

We will use teaching, process work, meditation, singing, praying, and ritual to delve into our anxieties, doubts, wildness, and stillness. Within the privacy of the Zoom platform, we will have breaks and breakouts and plenty of participation. Together we will provide comfort and wisdom for each other.

      In preparation, please read the following Pathwork lectures:

#183 The Spiritual Meaning of Crisis,

#223 The Era of the New Age and New Consciousness,

#224 Creative Emptiness,

#227 Change from Outer to Inner Laws in the New Age.

     Please prepare for yourself a comfortable seat, bring a pen, notebook, and a glass, plenty of water, and a change of underwear (just kidding on the last one).

NOTE: a reliable internet connection is a “must” to have the best virtual experience!
