Melbourne Revisited
November 17, 2009
Last November I led two brilliant courses in Melbourne, Australia, on energy awareness and sustainability. I returned in October this year to increase my level of participation with the local community and to create a new body of work. This article details some of what was accomplished and, more importantly, gives a sense of what people are now ready to live. My thanks in particular to Nancy and Andriana for their support and involvement in these events.
Oct 22nd-25th 2009
A 4 day course that had the following objectives.
- To reveal who we really are in our most magnificent
- To develop an awareness of what we can achieve without constant referral to the past
- To allow a deepening interaction with each other
- To envision a new purpose for our lives
- To be ready to enter a new phase of collective beingness
Key points from the course -
- that we realise we no longer need to base our lives on past patterns
- that we carefully assess any situation and know exactly the right action to take rather than rushing to ‘do’
- that we are more conscious of what we are generating (in every sense)
- that we are more aware that our physicality represents what we are generating
- that we can experience a sense of completeness all the time by lining everything up for successful outcomes
- that sound recalibrates our experience of emotion and we can incorporate the musicality naturally occurring around us
- that we are creating a unified field of ecstatic infinite possibility
- that each of us claims the freedom to create what really works
We focused on -
- LIBERATING THE PAST - when we are fully present the past doesn’t exist, it has no pull, so we created a space where the wisdom from all timelines can be accessed by us in any moment. The past is no longer a place to refer back to and engage with because the place of engagement is directly accessible in a now context.
- ENERGY ENCODEMENT - in each of us (and all around us) there is so much information that can be used, so we explored how to access and decode that information by being conscious of the most appropriate understanding in any situation.
- DECLARING CELEBRATION - this is when we realise that our stories of who we have been and how we have lived are subject to interpretation, and can be reinterpreted through the spirit of celebration. Everything can be celebration.
- LANDING BEINGNESS – setting aside any belief that there is anything more of ourselves to reach for and integrate, we looked at how our relationship with life is enhanced when we see that we have everything at our fingertips – for we are now truly complete.
- CREATING A NEW UNFOLDMENT OF REALITY – what happens when creation and consciousness comes together? well they create a unified field, a perpetuating energy force that is our natural state of being.
A key moment of this course was when people decided that their past was no longer the sequence of events that they remembered. In a new interpretation, what had been experienced as pain and suffering could now be viewed as progressive movements towards evolving magnificence. One of the group decided that her past no longer dictated her present experiences: in the light of celebration there is no longer anything to fix, complain about or feel incomplete. She is totally complete.
We have come to a moment where the past no longer holds us back and where there is such a brilliant future. “We know in the fullness of our being that we are riding the crest of greatness, letting go of the need for quest and embracing the beauty of creation.” – Andriana
In a short video Andriana talks further about the significance of this time.

Oct 26th – Men’s Night
A great group of men assembled to openly talk about those things that are deeply important but are not easily shared. For some it was an astounding revelatory experience in which they could release their perceptions of what their life has been about. One man said, at the end of the night, “I was never disconnected” – meaning that he had been searching for his connection to others and that connection was now restored. The real point of this event was that men could share meaningful conversation about the richness of themselves and be comfortable with the depth of conversation.
Oct 27th – Youngster’s Night
Put a group of 16 youngsters together and allow them to find out who they really are. That was the basis for this event. These were youngsters in the 16-25 age range who attend the Reach Foundation in Melbourne. We asked each one to stand in the centre of the group and see what it energetically feels like to express their power. They had to be aware of what it was that they sought to express and to put that in words. We asked them to look at themselves with new eyes and to be there for the whole group. When everyone stood up and helped one other to be seen and acknowledged then we felt a powerful cohesive force in the room.
Oct 29th – The Art & Science of Being day
This was an incredible event. There were 13 of us, ready to discover what we are really here for in this world and ready to explore new ways of relating to one another. That people can come together and take part in something that is neither rehearsed nor previously talked about, and yet be present with such incredible awareness of individual and group contribution, really does highlight that we are closely attuned to what waits to be expressed by each of us.
The theme revolved around pearls and the weaving of golden threads. In symbolic terms, each one of us is a pearl, each weave of contribution creating a tapestry of incredible magnificence to watch and be part of.
People let go of being human beings, in order to allow a greater sense of purpose to arise. The whole day was built around the remaking of ourselves, the remaking of the world, and the remaking of reality. Each person realised that they had something to offer – that their beingness and their life held incredible value – and that to share this unfolding expression of consciousness allowed us to understand the power in each nuance and gesture.
I watched each person stand up and become greater than their human beingness. What people said came from a place of ownership – that each of us recognises the true value of what we say and do, of who we be and are, of what we work upon and work towards. And that we are able to give space for such an unfolding is pure brilliance.
It seems crazy to think about (let alone talk about) these things, and yet the Beingness that we all are just takes charge and knows what to do, without having to question the legitimacy or sanity of what we might be doing. We do the miraculous – why question that? Why stop to ponder the meaning of what is being done when you already know and feel what is so?
Oct 31st-Nov 1st – The Space of Creative Possibilities
Two one-day workshops that built upon the previous experiences. The theme here was to explore the Principles of Being. It centered around -
- being in our authority about Life and taking control of the experience
- energetically knowing how to be
- understanding how to source the movement of our uniqueness
- exploring the richness of contribution in others and understanding how that is done, and
- exploring our capacity to envision
We witnessed the stirrings of things that might seem impossible to imagine – that we are able to look at our physicality with open eyes and see through all the layers of energy expression. That our vision is not confined to something that appears solid and unchanging. For our ability to vision is an ability to describe life in every detail in any way that we choose, from what deeply moves us.
“We stand in our greatness, in our beingness. We are connected in a unified field, moving into a new era to dance in limitless possibilities and see the perfection in the totality of all, and creating wonder. We reach into consciousness and feel the vision of how life can be and is being fulfilled … and the exquisite joy of seeing and actioning into creation becomes our new venture.” – Andriana
The whole Melbourne experience is summed up in these words -
This Melbourne venture has been a merging point for all of us – as a race we are moving into a brilliant future, shaping it according to what wants to grow. We saw that our Beingness is far greater than a knowing of ourselves beyond personality. Our Beingness is the authority to manage physicality and create experiences that manifest the quality of what we desire for all. So let’s get into action with all of it and decide what comes next.
