‘’How can we bring healing and protection to the Earth?’’
That is the question that Cynthia Jurs brought to the old wise man in a cave high up in the Himalayas. This question and his answer, to procure earth treasure vases made of clay and potent medicines, to fill them with prayers and symbolic offerings, and bury them around the world where healing is called for, propelled Cynthia’s life onto her true path. In the book Summoned by the Earth; Becoming a Holy Vessel for Healing Our World, Cynthia reflects on the many adventures that followed traveling around the world with the vases, working with elders, activists and diverse communities. On the way, she learns a lot about how to become a vessel of healing herself, her life moves deeper and deeper into a non-traditional dharma path, trusting her own inner compass while seeking answers and solutions for the myriad crises of our times. This course is for you if you carry similar concerns and questions about the state of our world and your place and role in it.
What is mine to do? How can I make the most of this life? How do I discover and listen to my inner compass? What do I truly care about?
Each of us has a guiding question and an answer that is waiting for us, which can truly open our path. There is a calling waiting for each and everyone of us.
This course will be a transformational journey of study and experience. Answering the call of our times in a genuine way leads firstly to hearing and feeling the cries of the world. Through really feeling the pain for our world in a supported and constructive way, we may discover what we most care about personally. Discovering and following the thread of our care may lead us to our calling. A transformational process of becoming a ‘’holy vessel’’ begins. We become a human being who knows who they are, why they are here. They know their role and their gift and they start to live it. We become that one unique flower, that only we can be, in the garden of humanity. Being in service to the whole in this way, contributes and leads naturally to the process of collective awakening.
The book and this six-week course intends to facilitate that process of individual and collective awakening. Without knowing it, effortlessly, we may enter into the slip-stream of the mystery of our own lives, where we discover our own burning question and find the answers that lead us to the next real step(s) on our personal path of awakening into a purposeful, aligned and connected life.
