Words from San Francisco's Claim Your Awakened Life Now!
by Patrick @ Aug 12 2008
This past weekend, people from Wyoming, Panama, Canada and California, all gathered for San Francisco's Claim Your Awakened Life Now! It was amazing to watch all these people, from different regions and phases in life, deeply connect and support one another as they played (not worked, as it never felt like work!) to unearth and clarify intentions, dreams and goals.
Throughout the weekend, attendees were invited to engage in
interactive exercises with this group of people who quickly began to
feel like a community - everyone supporting each other in calling
forth, the more awakened version of each member.
On the last day the shift in energies among participants was palpable. We'll let some comments from those in attendance, speak to the experience...
"There’s something that has happened the last few days. The permission has existed to get in touch with those parts of you that are the core of your being, and allow those sides to emerge and run around and play. In our every day lives, we’re on a treadmill, getting from one project to another, and you lose that part of yourself. Here I am, having done all this previous work, a leadership grad, a certified coach, yet I need these reminders, more and more, of who that sacred person is that exists in me."
- J. Bury
"My head’s a total jumble of all the inspiring moments. I feel lighter, so light that I’m flying. It's like a whole backpack of burdens have been lifted off of me this weekend. I came here happy and I leave happier."
- K. Bresler

Sad News
by Patrick @ Jun 24 2008
We are very sorry that one of our family, Kelly Carlin-McCall, lost her father, George Carlin, this weekend to a heart related illness.
Many of you had no doubt been entertained by George over the years. George Carlin was a model of truth telling that few of us are ever able to step up to in the way that he did. He busted us regularly, for going along with the status quo, and for not questioning the systems that attempt to box us in. Though I never met George personally, he touched me deeply over a period of many years, and he taught me to stay awake when society might otherwise prefer that I didn’t.
Kelly carries his spirit of truth telling forward through her life, and adds to it ,a beautiful and open heart. She is a oving and fierce proponent of healing, for doing your personal work, and for being a difference in the world.
Our prayers and light go out to George, Kelly, and her family in this time.
With Love,
Patrick

Summer Fall Workshops & New Staff
by Patrick @ May 16 2008
Greetings! Our recent expansion had us a bit distracted from our regular news updates, but we’re back on track, bearing tidings of new programs and new team members, at Awakened Wisdom.
We are diligently at work, setting the Summer/Fall calendar for the Awakened Wisdom workshop series titled, Claim Your Awakened Life Now! As details are hammered out, we can offer the following information in advance:
August 7-10, we’ll be in the Bay area for a residential retreat. September 26-28 you’ll find us somewhere near Seattle. October 3-5 we’ll head to Southern California, then return north towards Toronto, November 21 – 23.
More specific location information will be available soon, but for now, mark your calendars. I promise you will want to attend these powerful workshops. Also, if you’re itching to Claim Your Awakened Life abroad, know that in the fall, we’ll be headed to Dubai, Israel, London, and Japan. Stay tuned for more information on all these programs.
As I mentioned above, our organization is growing quickly. To that end, I am very excited and honored to announce the new members of the AWE team. Rather than wax poetic about them here, I’ll introduce these amazing people by directing you to their bios on the “Who We Are” page.

Your everyday lifestyle:
- Your overall mood is happy, joyful and you have a deep appreciation for each moment of your life.
- You understand that shadowy aspects of you are nothing to be afraid of and you integrate them into your wholeness. Emotions like anger, shame, and fear do not make you a bad person; they are simply emotions that require being experienced in a responsible way.
- You understand that you are essentially at choice for everything in your life and therefore a victim of nothing.
- You understand that you have created your life according to your deepest level of intention and expectation and that you have the power and responsibility to keep evolving according to your highest wisdom.
- You respect your body and full being and make choices accordingly.
- You live in the present moment and have developed a good relationship with your past experiences and your future dreams.
- You do not hoard resources through fear of what may be. You use your success and resources to improve that world around you.
- You do not avoid making decisions and following through with choices that are from your highest wisdom.
- You know the difference between higher wisdom and lower misleading or distracting messages and you follow the path of the higher wisdom.
- You understand that there is enough for everyone to have a great life and do not get in the way of the success and happiness of others.
- You have daily/weekly/monthly practices in your life that keep you healthy, centered and mindful and you walk the path of heart.
