Groups

James is currently offering a variety of evening, weekend and longer groups.

 

Evening Groups

 

Open Evenings - 1 1/2 - 2 hours

These are introductory groups that offer people the opportunity to meet and experience James. These groups usually take place a day or so before other groups so people can get an idea of what to expect. These groups will usually include a guided meditation, a talk, and the opportunity to ask James questions and receive feedback. James is usually very gentle in open evenings and happy for people to just come and observe.

Finding Happiness and Fulfillment - 2 hour talk

This is James speaking passionately about how we are, how we came to be that way, and what is possible. In this talk James will share what he has learned from personal experience and working with thousands of people. James has a vast knowledge and speaks with wisdom and humor about a wide variety of topics including physical, emotional, and mental aspects of being human, healing, consciousness, sexuality, relationship, culture, language, magic, and transformation. Any topic can come up when James starts talking, but the unifying theme is how happiness and a feeling of deep fulfillment are our birthright, and how we can live to experience this. James usually allows time for questions.

 

Deep Living Groups

James has developed very powerful ways of working with a group of people. The centerpiece of this work is a game he has developed called "Deep Living - The Game of Honesty, Courage, and Consciousness." This is the most effective method of quickly affecting permanent transformation of behavioral patterns that James has found. It is also an incredibly fun and exciting way to connect deeply and intimately with other people while learning and practicing valuable life skills in an extremely supportive environment.

Deep Living Level 1 Weekends - 2 - 2 1/2 days

These are great introductory groups. We will dive right into the game and you will get a first hand experience of playing with James.

Deep Living Level 1 Groups – 4.5-7 days

In these longer groups we will spend some time learning and practicing the skills for playing the game: honesty, courage, consciousness, empathy, sensitivity, and intuition. We will have time for everyone to receive the focus of the entire group to support them to look deeply into themselves and experience whatever depth of transformation they feel ready for. Many people who have done this group find it the most supportive environment they have ever experienced. These groups are limited to 12-16 participants.

Deep Living Level 2 Groups - 5-10 days

These are groups for people who have completed a Deep Living Level 1 Group (or weekend with permission from James). Here everyone already knows what we are doing so there will be much less explanation and we can dive right in. Also these people will have already looked at their more superficial patterns so we will be moving on to deeper processes. James will also expect participants to take greater degrees of responsibility for themselves and encourage them to learn how to support each other more fully. These groups are extremely powerful as we start working with very deep core patterns. As we get closer to our true selves we find that our primary energy is creative. In these groups we also begin to explore our creativity in music, song, dance, and a variety of other ways. These are incredible groups that can truly transform your life.

Deep Living Level 3 Groups - 7 days and longer

These are groups for people who have completed a Deep Living Level 2 group and want to get together and explore what is possible with other people who want to do the same. We will explore the power of coming together and aligning our energy for healing, transformation, and conscious creation. We will look at the deepest aspects of our cultural conditioning and clear them from our personal and collective consciousness. We will explore letting go of the personal and entering into a group consciousness where we can explore what is beyond the limitations of belief. We will explore and experience the magic of deep living.

Deep Living Intensives

James is constantly experimenting with ways to support people to find their deepest truth. Most people make a big step in a 4.5 day group and feel ready to make another step soon. With the intensives we play with longer groups and series of groups. A recent series was four 4.5 day groups with one every two and a half weeks. James is leaning more towards this way of working.

 

Some words from James about his groups:

Each group is different, created by the participants. Anything can happen in a group. Frequent things that do happen are guided meditations, talks about behavior and consciousness, exercises, and opportunities to share parts of yourself you usually hide. You will also receive honest feedback about how you are perceived.

Courage is an essential part of personal growth. Courage is the key to finding your self. In our groups we create situations where you can display courage. I am talking about personal courage. Showing parts of yourself you may not be comfortable with.

My groups are not easy. No one will make you do anything you don't want to do, but if you don't want to explore your edges these groups are not for you. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can experience things you have been avoiding. Our behavior is our tactic to avoid our true self. The purpose of my groups is to help you find your true self.

These groups are appropriate for anyone who feels that getting in touch with who they really are is more important than their pride. I am looking for people who are searching for a deeper honesty than they have known and are willing to question their beliefs to find it.

I am interested in working with people for whom finding their truth is a priority. I am finding myself much more interested in working more deeply with fewer people in the groups. There will be fewer opportunities for new people to start working with me as my focus is going to the ones I am already supporting.

I expect that some of the people I have been training will be ready to lead the Level 1 groups soon. I am also starting to write and make audio and video recordings to be able to share with more people.
