The Samurai Game Coming to Alberta, the Second Time!

Samurai_Art_Blacklight_062510One of my most meaningful personal development experiences last year was playing The Samurai Game.  It was so powerful to me that I choose to bring The Samurai Game to Alberta, which rocked!

My friend and business partner Rae Ann Wood Schatz loved it so much that she choose to become certified to deliver The Samurai Game.  Rae Ann will be delivering The Samurai Game in Edmonton on January 17 – 19, 2014.  The really cool part is that because this is Rae Ann’s first course we are offering it at a significant discount only $497!

The first time we brought the game to Alberta it was $897 so this saves $400.  Of course there has been outstanding response and now we only have 10 spots left!!  If you know already you want to come and play grab one of the last seats NOW!

If you need more info please read on.

Simply put the Samurai Game ROCKS!!It is one of the most powerful activities, that mirrors who and how we are as human beings.  I will not tell you the details but I can tell you that in the game I died, the way I died was a perfect awareness (kick in the ass) for what I am working on in my life right this moment.  PRESENCE, being in the present moment, I have come away with clear commitments to strengthening my practices and more consciously aligning my environment (internal and external) to support living MORE in the moment.  I will write more about this in near future!

So if you are ready for a significant step up in your life and world, you really MUST get yourself registered in the program.  Feel compelled?
More Details:
The Samurai Game Workshop
The Samurai Game® Workshop is a powerful opportunity to experience the way of the warrior as a path to deeper self-awareness and enlightenment.In Japanese, the word samurai means “to serve.” The samurai lived and died by the code of bushido, “the way of the warrior.” For the true samurai, iron self- discipline, 100% commitment, inner calm in the face of danger, willingness to die rather than be dishonored, and unwavering loyalty to leader and team were a way of life. The Samurai Game® allows you to take on these qualities of the samurai warrior, and experience for yourself the way of the warrior as a path to deeper self-awareness and enlightenment.At the same time, the Samurai Game® is an amazingly accurate mirror that allows you to see exactly how you live your everyday life. As the game unfolds, major life issues will come to the surface for you to confront and deal with. For some people, the main issue is commitment—the willingness to persevere, not give up, in the face of setbacks, difficulties, and even pain. For others, it’s honesty and integrity—the courage to speak the truth, even when speaking the truth means the possibility of rejection or becoming an outcast. For others, what surfaces is the struggle between cowardice—giving in to fear—and courage, the willingness to risk, for what you believe in. And for still others, the issue brought up by the game is trust—trust in yourself, trust in other people, trust in life itself. The list of major life issues that may surface in the game is endless, since the game is simply a mirror. But you can count on being challenged to face up to yourself in a deep and meaningful way.Another challenge in the Samurai Game® for many people is the challenge of (symbolically) facing death. As you confront the possibility of dying in battle, you have an opportunity to contemplate the meaning of your life—and to face up to how brief this lifetime really is. For many participants, this is a chance to re-evaluate their priorities, and to gain a new level of clarity about what really matters. The Samurai Game® is also an exercise in leadership and teamwork. Throughout the game, you will be presented with opportunities to lead—and opportunities to surrender completely to the leadership of others. The game will test you, and expose for you to see clearly your strengths and weaknesses as a leader and as a member of the team.

Participation in the Samurai Game® demands a high level of personal commitment and willingness to participate. Playing the game does not, however, require a high level of physical fitness or physical contact. Men and women from 18 to 80 years old, from all walks of life, have participated fully and created tremendous value in the Samurai Game®. As with any experiential process, the value you create will depend entirely on your willingness to participate fully and face up to yourself honestly.

The Samurai Game® was created by George Leonard. George was a founding member and former president of Esalen Institute. He held the rank of 5th Degree Black Belt in the Japanese martial art of Aikido and authored twelve books including: Mastery, The Ultimate Athlete, Education & Ecstasy, The Way of Aikido, The Silent Pulse, and (with Michael Murphy) The Life We Are Given. The Samurai Game® is now used globally in classes, seminars and corporate retreats, and has served hundreds of thousands of people.

I know, I know, last minute preparations, gifts, family calls, play dates for kids, cleaning up things that MUST be done in 2013.  It can be difficult to raise our heads and create REAL VISION for our lives in the upcoming year.

So I have a gift for you, one of the most important in the universe:

  • Time for YOU
  • Time to evaluate the year that has just been
  • Time to CONSCIOUSLY set intention and create vision for your next year
  • Time to interpret and apply the key lessons of your life
  • Time to make sure that those recurring patterns that you are done with DO NOT SHOW UP IN 2014!

This gift is a process that I have been doing each and every year for over 20 years and I know that is has been fundamental in increasing my willingness to risk, my willingness to  learn from my mistakes and REALLY leverage my wins.

The Annual Assessment..I know killer title, (my friend Kerrianne would totally make fun of me)  but don’t let the name fool you it is a powerful process that I view as one of the most important rituals of my life.

The key to me about this process is simple.

Most people relive and recreate the same fundamental experiences over and over and over again! The reason generally speaking is simply this we as human beings are not that good at actually learning from our past, and our unconscious embedded resistance patterns attract and recreate the same types of people, circumstances, situations and choices that we have been making for most of our lives.

The fundamental law of resistance is this: Resistance breeds resistance, What you resist persists, what you resist over time you become! Simply put until we deal with our resistance and the unconscious beliefs that trigger resistance we are trapped to repeat the same patterns over and over again.

My gift and invitation to  you here is a simple yet powerful process to actually learn from your experience of the past year and consciously APPLY those lessons to your life this year!

Truly learning from the past is one of the most powerful ways to break the patterns of resistance in our lives. So lets get to it!

This year I am doing a free seminar on google hangouts that will share the process. The event is on boxing day evening  and it steps you through each step and stage of my annual ritual.

Register here.

This process is powerful and it works. Take the time to make sure that 2014 is all that you want it to be. You deserve it!

PS: The Consciously Creating Christmas Contest is on now, $25,000 in prizes and it is super easy and fun to play!  Check it out here.  http://thecreatorscode.kajabi.com/fe/35496-how-to-play

‎”The masters in the art of living make little distinction between their work and play, their labor and their love, their minds and their bodies, their information, their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which; they simply pursue their vision of excellence at whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing.” — James Michener

If I miss anyone as we are making a ton of last minute changes and adjustments, please know it is an honest mistake!

From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU to all who have supported and participated in the first annual Conscious Creation Tele Summit.
