The Awakening Experience
A Conversation between Participants
So, what is it like to experience an Awakening? Read on to see what these participants from the Liverpool Awakening in 2010 had to say to each other in the days following the workshop.
I told my dad I love him today
What a weekend. I feel great today. I told my dad I love him today for the first time ever. His reply was a nervous laugh, but I'm glad I did it. Love you all!
The most amazing weekend of my life
AMAZING!! What an amazing weekend. We got home safely and I'm now home processing the most amazing weekend of my life. I feel truly honoured to have been part of such an amazing group. The best part for me this weekend was meeting and truly connecting with so many amazing, beautiful, courageous, loving people.
I thank you all for just being who you are; I'm definitely going to commit to staying connected to you all.
Oh, and Chase, you are the daddy of hugs - you have definitely set the standard!
Love to you all,
Amy A.
How amazing to witness the impact of the weekend already
WOW!!!
How amazing to witness the impact of the weekend already... I'm so 'feeling the love' (for self and others).
It is such an honour to be part of this weekend and see all the courage, beauty and hope busting out of the place... such a strong force that cannot be held back... unstoppable... Here we come, each and every one of us that took this journey together this weekend. Thank you to everyone for being my teacher!!
Welcome... come take your place in this community... you are seen, you are loved... you are love!

Vulnerable, but alive
I just thought I would share my first morning with you all. My first day living awakened. I do feel vulnerable but I also feel very much alive. I miss you all. I will make a commitment to stay connected to our community, to others and to life as much as I possibly can. I will try to ask for help and remember that we are all loving and lovable.
Nadine
Excited!
I'm 'proper excited'! [a Liverpool turn of phrase]

I have a choice
Hola!
Each and every one of you, THANK YOU!
I had such a lovely experience with my daughter today; I was giving her a cuddle and I got the sense that we were both innocent children of god filled with only love and light. This is so beautiful to experience, even if at this time I can only hold on to it for a moment or two; the memory is there and not even my ego can take that away from me.
It is a constant wrestling match and I know that I need to go deeper into my pain in order to expose the truth and to be able to keep hold of it for longer periods. I know that I will be able to take these steps with you all by my side, in our sibling-ship!
It was such a privilege to walk on your journeys with you and witness your courage, love and light.
You are all so truly stunningly beautiful.
I have a choice; thank you for reminding me of the truth.
I will definitely be back
Thanks to everyone who was involved this weekend I can't believe how amazing everyone was! I felt so much love towards every one of you!
I can't quite get my head around what went on in such a short space of time but it feels good and will definitely be back in March for more!!!!
Thank you for witnessing my miracle
Thank you all for being alive and present this weekend. I love loving you and I love feeling you love me. I found this hard sometimes because my ego tells me not to love myself, but I'm not listening to the lies and I'm committed to the truth. We are love, we're nothing but love, and love never fails.
Everything that comes from love is a miracle. Thank you for witnessing my miracle. You're making this possible. I'm here for you. Thank you, my brothers and sisters. I love you.

The workshop doesn't end at the doors
Wow... what a beautiful weekend. Firstly a very big thank you to [that special person who helped me this weekend]. Thank you for acknowledging the need for me to do this on my own; your support this weekend has been incredible. Thank you for always believing in me and allowing me the space to find my place in me. I love you.
I have learnt so much in and out of this workshop this weekend, and I know the workshop doesn't end at the doors of 17 Rodney street. Thank you
I am so grateful
A very big thank you to everyone involved this weekend... your support, encouragement, honesty, compassion and trust has carried me through, allowing me to continue on my path to finding that volume button. What incredible angels, assistants, and participants! I love you all and am so grateful.
I would like to personally thank [the special person who participated with me]. The journey we went on together this weekend was AMAZING! I need to thank you for showing up and allowing me to get to know who you really are; witnessing YOU, loving YOU. This weekend wouldn't have been the same without you, a very important person to my journey!
Many miracles this weekend
I am still processing this weekend and will check in again later about it, but for now I would just like to thank everyone. I feel blessed to have been a witness to many miracles this weekend, in the room and in me. Thank you.
A magical weekend
Hey all,
It's so lovely to read your postings...
Thanks for sharing a magical weekend with me, everyone.
I'm feeling nourished and inspired - ready to face the music of the next week.
I must remember that 'courage is the willingness to feel fear and act anyway'...
BRING IT ON...

Thank you so much
Hi all,
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much for being with me in my fight to reclaim me, and for all the truths you whispered to my heart and soul in the Angel Walk. I hold you all in my heart. Take care of yourselves.
Love,

An Opportunity to Get Closer to my Parents
Hi all,
I was driving home from Navan, and half way home noticed that this deep loneliness that is usually my constant companion was not present. I realised that it was because I made peace with myself during this life-changing workshop, and that I befriended my own self and I felt at peace being my own companion.
Like [another participant], I had an opportunity to practice the four steps. My mother was launching into a tragic story in front of my three year old daughter (who takes everyting in) so I discreetly said, "Maybe tell me later". She answered angrily, "I hate when you say that to me". I took this to mean, "I hate you. You disappoint me. So much for all the work you have done on yourself". In that moment, I felt like shutting down.
My ego said, "Just pack up and leave - you don't need to take this". Instead, I took a moment, and in that moment, asked myself, "Is it true that she feels this way about you, and that you are a disappointment to her?". I answered, "NO, it really means that she feels insecure and vulnerable, and given her own upbringing of a physically and emotionally abusive father, she has taken this as a criticism of herself".
In that moment, I felt love for her, and for the little girl inside her. I let it go... genuinely... not as I would have done - shut down, and go into myself. I later had an opportunity to discuss the event with her, and she understood on reflection too that she had reacted out of a place of feeling criticised. My dad was there too and as he spoke I appreciated his wonderful wisdom - that I really had not connected to before.
What could have been a quick exodus by me, and a retreat into myself, feeling hurt and unloved, turned into an opportunity to get closer to my mother - something that I was calling to happen during the breathwork session on Sunday... and to my dad. Amazing!!!!
Gotta go - I can smell dinner burning!!!
