Our Unique OfferingThe following is a compilation of the many lovely statements that were contributed in response to a survey conducted in December, 2004, as part of a wholesale redesign (of the structures supporting the WDM work) project that was newly underway at the time. Participants were asked, "What do you consider to be special or unique about what we currently offer?" Read on to hear what this diverse group of voices has to say. "It's the heart-meeting that is so profoundly transformative." ~S.B. "We hold people in the darkest places and incubate them until they awaken, and as they integrate their shadow and light. We help them find, often for the first time ever in their lives, trust and confidence in themselves and in Being. We foster mature human development and communication. We offer a spontaneous catalytic transformational process that keeps on giving and evolving. We have a very well-functioning transmission and philosophy that consistently yields non-dual awakenings." ~D.B. "This work is about body to body connection, love, and transmission. One person, one body at a time allowing the participant to feel like they matter and that there is room for them to show up as their process unfolds." ~K.S. "The direct initiation into the non-dual, whole-being nature through gazing, and through transmission of the divine and human nature of the teacher through conversation. The personal, small group, one-to-one interchange with people about the areas of whole-being they usually exclude-the emotional levels-or for some the conscious level-and for some the divine, i.e., meeting the person in their unique and particular presentation of self. I find the words of the dharma to be functional but not as unique and potent as the basic hands-on way we have of contacting people, and also, the particular emphasis we give to what I find to be a totally universal transformation process. ~S.G. "Waking Down in Mutuality offers direct spiritual awakening and ongoing empowerment to fulfill your destiny in a global community full of Heart." ~S.B. "Our disposition to meet others deeply and invite them to actually arrive (awaken) as themselves." ~R.A. "Unique Dharma and Teachings concerning personal awakening and Teacher transmission as an aid to this end." ~B.M. "Our greatest gift is our Transmission. I don't find it elsewhere." ~B.D. "Waking Down offers me a safe place in which I can face into my true self--from feeling the rage about being sexually abused as a child, to feeling at one with the ice skating rink just after injuring my knee on the ice. I am held in this community by teachers and friends that know me as a fallible woman who has made many mistakes in this life, and as a powerful Goddess who shines through it all. My mistakes are recognized here as the perfect movement of my Being. Behind every word I entrust to you, you recognize the blameless actions of Consciousness, while simultaneously holding me accountable for my future choices." ~L.O. "A way to awaken for those who are truly ready to awaken." ~M.G. "Ease of access to second birth, fusion, merger or whatever you want to call THIS. Intensity of transmission in face-to-face mutuality, especially in groups with lots of second lifers. Nonjudgmental Trust." ~A.P. "I would say it is the transmission of the awakened condition that catalyzes ongoing integration of depth levels of being in the individual, as well as ongoing integration along the self/other axis. It is esoteric and we need to acknowledge that." ~K.H. "Our humanness. This practice is the first that I have found that says, 'Hey, you're human and not only is that okay but it is divine.' No ignoring, pushing aside, or transcending, but an acknowledgement that this is not a curse or a legacy to overcome, but a state of Being that is as necessary, natural, and intended as every other state of incarnation. This is huge." ~B.H. "What an amazing offering: a teaching that bows to the individual's unique and unknowable transforming force, while providing the fertilizer, 'surround' information and honest deeply-felt heart support. Priceless." ~P.G. "An unprecedented depth of listening, the truth about what it's like to be a human being and the greatest possibility for existence in a body, and awakening for more people than any other path I know can offer." ~J.A. "The one thing that made me feel a belonging in the Waking Down work, or community, or whatever it is, is that among the awakened people I first encountered, I felt met on a deeper level than I had thought possible, both before and after my awakening. That one fact alone is what got me involved and kept me going all these years. And I think it is the single thing that makes this work special. ~K.H.
