Here are more details about “The Endless Now”

Timeless, ageless beingness. Perfect unity with source. An experience of your true nature. This is how wisdom teacher and best-selling author Gary Renard describes what he calls -The Endless Now – and it’s an experience readily available to us all through the simple act of connecting with source.

Gary relates his personal story and we join him in remembering what it’s like to be pure spirit or love itself. You will learn how to break through all appearances including the false idea that we are separate from source – and consistently recognize what we truly are.

• True Meditation – rest in the perfect space of silence where you are one with your source and all is perfect exactly as it is.

• Place Holy Spirit in charge of your day and live each moment guided and directed from this pure space of wisdom, love, and compassion.

• Use forgiveness to release yourself from the false idea of separation from source and move into a consistent experience of truth and the endless now, out of which a high level of peace and skillfulness arises.

Jesus, Buddha and other Wisdom Masters walked and lived in the pure space of continuous connection with source – and reminded us that this is our natural state of being. Gary invites you to courageously unlearn the habits of the ego and experience life like the great spiritual masters – in eternal harmony and natural benefit of humanity. Gary offers a way of looking at the world that leads to the endless now and the full flowering of the human spirit.

An acclaimed teacher of A Course In Miracles, Gary underwent a powerful spiritual awakening in the early 1990s. As instructed by two ascended masters who appeared to him in the flesh, he wrote his first best-selling book, The Disappearance of the Universe, over a period of nine years. He was later guided to speak in public and has recently been described as one of the most interesting and courageous spiritual speakers in the world.

Gary has spoken in 41 states, 16 countries, and was the keynote speaker at the International A Course in Miracles Conferences in Salt Lake City and San Francisco. He is also the most recent recipient of the Infinity Foundation Spirit Award. The award is given to a person who has made a meaningful contribution to personal and spiritual growth. Past recipients include Dan Millman, Ram Dass, Gary Zukav, James Redfield and Neale Donald Walsch.

Here’s a Press Release (MSWord format) and a pdf version and a printable jpg flyer about the seminar and a pdf flyer about the seminar and a version of the flyer as 4 mini-posters.

I’m enthused to report that again, by popular request, Gary is offering a third seminar in Ashland. Please spread the word to anyone you know who enjoys Gary’s work and/or A Course In Miracles; thanks! :-)

If you are traveling from out of the area and need lodging info please contact Ed Karlovich at 541-646-8332. Some rooms at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites – Ashland (adjacent to the Windsor Inn) are reserved and available at discounted rates for attendees of Gary’s seminar. Group rates are available for direct booking through July 17 by following this link. Additional information with links is here.

POTLUCK UPDATE!

Following Gary’s seminar, we have a potluck scheduled the same day at 6PM; the venue will also be the Best Western Windsor Inn (same room as the seminar, contrary to earlier messages which mentioned the Peace House.) All are invited, even if you can’t make it for the seminar.

Cindy Lora-Renard

Also, I am happy to report that we have a high probability that Gary’s wife Cindy Lora-Renard will also be present for this event. Cindy and Gary, in addition to roles that readers of Gary’s books are quite familiar with, are also both musicians and there are rumors that the seminar just might include a bit of music from them… We’ll see! :-)

I had the pleasure of meeting Cindy (and her mother, both very wonderful folks!) in SF earlier this year when “Giddyup Mikey” (who posts the DU quote of the day on the DU Yahoo group) and I attended the ACIM conference there and saw Gary, Nouk & Tomas, Tom & Linda Carpenter, and so many more wonderful ACIM presenters and fellow students. Having BOTH Gary and Cindy with us in Ashland will be a real treat!

Arten & Pursah in training :-)

One more thing, don’t forget to check out Gary’s website, and his oh-so-fun podcasts with Gene Bogart. They’re free, fun and always full of forgiveness … no matter what the question!

“The Living Experience of Heaven on Earth”

Popular teachers of A Course In Miracles,
and authors of Take Me To Truth: Undoing the Ego

Nouk Sanchez & Tomas Vieira

will present an experiential 4-day workshop

Thursday-Sunday September 23-26 2010 – 10AM-4PM
Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Ashland, Oregon

Since the beginning of time, we have been limited by the human condition and
mortal laws. Until now, only a few masters succeeded in spiritual awakening.
Today, the awakening process is beginning en masse. It is time to reclaim our
Divine inheritance, free of the “one” block that inhibits us – the ego.

Through A Course in Miracles, we have been given the road map to undoing the
ego and living the experience of Heaven on Earth – the happy dream.

“The Holy Spirit is the way in which God’s Will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth are in you, because the call of both is in
your mind.” – (T-5.II.8 ACIM)

How do we realize Heaven on Earth? How do we fulfill our function of healing
and be the Light of the World? Come and discover the mystical journey of Trust and re-connect with your Divine purpose.

Based on their bestselling book, Take Me To Truth: Undoing the Ego, and
inspired by A Course in Miracles (ACIM), Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira reveal why
you will never consistently experience what you really want until the one
unconscious saboteur is revealed and released.

Respected for their practical expansion of ACIM’S section on The Development
of Trust and The Holy Relationship, Nouk and Tomas deliver dynamic
workshops around the world. Together, they inspire and encourage us all to
undertake the journey within with trust and confidence. Tomas and Nouk
invite you to join them on this inevitable journey.

For more information, contact us via email, or phone 541-973-3512. To register, please mail a check for $400* to Elysian Publishing, POB 431, Ashland, Oregon 97520 and include your full name, email (very important since that’s how we’ll contact you primarily), phone number, address, and any other pertinent contact info or details.

Webmaster’s note:

In 2009, I was fortunate to attend the Community Miracles Center conference on A Course In Miracles in San Francisco, where I had the pleasure of attending some wonderful presentations from Gary Renard, Tom & Linda Carpenter (both featured in our ACIM speaker series in Ashland earlier this year), as well as Earl Purdy, Lyn Corona, Martha Lucia Espinoza, and many others. They were all superb. The presentation that spoke to me with such depth and light-hearted humor (what a great combination!) that I felt drawn to attend their second presentation was … you guessed it! … Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira. Having thoroughly enjoyed their brilliant book “Take Me To Truth: Undoing the Ego” I wanted to experience their insight first hand, and both sessions exceeded my already high expectations. It is with great joy and anticipation that I am enthused (with abundant help from colleague Ed Karlovich and a wonderful ACIM community here in the Rogue Valley – you know who you are!) to be able to present Nouk & Tomas’ first extended seminar/workshop for this part of our beloved hologram! :-)

The authors/presenters share this about their workshop:

(The purpose of the workshop is to) “reveal why you will never consistently experience what you really want until the one unconscious saboteur is revealed and released! … Through a mix of delivery, reflection, journaling, experiential exercises, much laughter, and discussions, you will learn to recognize the extent of the ego’s role in your conscious and unconscious mind and how to initiate your release from the only barrier to consistent peace, love and happiness. If you’re done with seeking, suffering and pain, then you will find Truth at this workshop. Spend three profound days deepening your awareness of Perfect Love through Radical Self Inquiry, Quantum Forgiveness & Now Moment Presence.”

Biographical Information about Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira:

Australians, Nouk and Tomas are the authors of bestseller Take Me to Truth, Undoing the Ego. Initiated by A Course in Miracles (ACIM), their seventeen-year Spiritual Awakening journey led to the almost total deconstruction of their lives and belief systems before emerging from the process together. No amount of theory or substitute can hold a candle to experience. Nouk and Tomas joined in a divine commitment in 1984. The call they heard beckoned them to discover the indestructible nature of love. The precious insights gained from their life-transforming experience are shared in both Take Me to Truth and their workshops. The result is this profoundly practical guide that clearly defines the blocks and the stages involved in Spiritual Awakening. Respected for their practical expansion of ACIM’s section on The Development of Trust, Nouk and Tomas have been invited to deliver dynamic workshops around the world. They are keynote speakers at the prestigious Omega Institute NY, the International A Course in Miracles Conference, San Francisco and The Miracles Network, London.

Their website contains much additional reference material.

Feedback from readers and participants:

Nouk and Tomas describe the challenge we all face which is the uninvestigated “me” also known as the ego. It is a false self that is plagued by intermittent fears, relationship break-ups, financial difficulties and ill health, and its mantra is “Seek And Do Not Find”. Their uniquely dynamic family experience of learning A Course in Miracles (ACIM), as a couple, and then with their daughter, is quite unprecedented, and truly an inspiration to us all. This dynamic duo’s presentation is absolutely engaging as they bring out the experiential dimension of the Course making it easily accessible and applicable to our daily lives and relationships.

“Take Me to Truth is not just a book; it’s a revelation!”

— Gary R. Renard, author of The Disappearance of the Universe


“Amidst much lightness and laughter there is a profound dedication to learning and living the Course, without one iota of compromise to its principles.”

— Rogier van Vlissingen, author of Closing the Circle

“I realized that as immortal spirit I no longer needed to define myself by what had happened to my body or by what I’d done with my body. That is how I ended my suffering. This is everyone’s story, it is a story of being lost and finding oneself. Sure, the events maybe different, but in awareness they are all the same. We are all in the same boat here. I count my abusers and attackers among my greatest spiritual teachers and all I want for them is to experience the peace of God as I am, and more. There is but one problem, that we imagine we are separate from our source. There is but one solution, to rest in the awareness that we are perfect love, wisdom, and compassion and to live from that place.” – Linda McNabb

About Linda McNabb

Currently Linda is a personal assistant for bestselling author and acclaimed teacher of “A Course In Miracles,” Gary Renard, and gives monthly workshops and classes on the Wisdom of True Forgiveness. Her book, ‘One Again: A True Story of a Different Kind of Forgiveness,’ is the story of how she was finally able to forgive a traumatic childhood, including being gang-raped at the age of 13 followed by years of self destruction. By practicing and using the forgiveness teachings from Mr. Renard’s books she was able to end her suffering and change her life. To learn more about Linda, her book, and her workshops please visit her website at www.lindamcnabb.com

Linda recently gave a presentation at Agape in southern Calif. She will be featured at the ACIM Conference in San Francisco in 2011. Her appearances page has more details about these and other events.

Here are more details from Linda about her life and work:

“After reading Gary’s books DU and YIR and then becoming ACIM student I was inspired to write my life story, something I never dreamed I’d do in a million years. Then as I wrote, I began forgiving all the traumatic events of my childhood using Gary’s and ACIM forgiveness teachings. I never planned this, it just happened through using the forgiveness teachings I was led to telling this story. I realized that I was not a body that could be damaged or destroyed. I realized that as immortal spirit I no longer needed to define myself by what had happened to my body or by what I’d done with my body. That is how I ended my suffering. This is everyone’s story, it is a story of being lost and finding oneself. Sure, the events maybe different, but in awareness they are all the same. We are all in the same boat here. I count my abusers and attackers among my greatest spiritual teachers and all I want for them is to experience the peace of God as I am, and more.

There is but one problem, that we imagine we are separate from our source. There is but one solution, to rest in the awareness that we are perfect love, wisdom, and compassion and to live from that place.
The only thing that will ever satisfy us is the magnificence of God! And by that I mean to go beyond the intellectual understanding and to actually experience it. That is what I am doing.

I began substance abusing at age 12 and did so for a good part of my adult life, while suffering from suicidal depression.
It has been nearly a decade since I’ve abused any substance other than chocolate.

Writing this book led to me meeting Gary and becoming his personal assistant. I’m honored to call Gary my dear, good friend.  He endorses me in all my work. My book and workshop is complimentary to his. My work stands on it’s own merits as I have taken the teachings and applied them to my real life and am now more whole than broken. More sane than insane. That is how I can help others. As you gain stable well-being you are able to live a wholly beneficial life.”
