These are no ordinary conversations! Emerging Futures explorations are just that: explorations of our own potential that emerge from our willingness to show up - fully present in who we are in the moment - and engage without hesitation, without editing and without second-guessing ourselves. The outcomes are unpredictable.... except for one thing: it will profoundly change your life..
Booking Your Room
Special rates have been negotiated with the Fairmont Manoir Richelieu tosignificantly reduce your cost for the duration of your stay. Rather than room rates in excess of $220 per night at this 5-star resort, retreat participants will enjoy a special rate of $129 to $169 (double occupancy) per night (plus applicable taxes), depending on your choice of level of service - and view!
You also have access to this ‘can’t resist’ rate for additional nights before and after the retreat dates at the same rate, should you want to extend your stay and take more time to rest and relax at this secluded Resort.
Contact The Manoir directly and book online to reserve your preferred space.
The Experience
Power, Passion and Purpose is about manifestation. Relaxing into the intensity that is essential to an acceleration of manifestation, PPP will invite you to press the edges of your own awareness; call you into the much larger and more powerful conversations about manifestation; and ensure that you leave your experience with a profound sense of your own capacity to create the life you desire.
Power: is the force that allows you to engage. It's the gas in the tank that makes it possible for you to move forward in your own life. It's the movement inside you that propels you forward and makes it possible for you to reach for what lies just beyond your finger tips. It's the process that awakens and entices; and is the sense of exilleration in your body in that moment you move from the intention to engage to the experience of engaging. It is the moment when life happens!
Passion: is the motivation you carry to live large and live fully! Without passion, our lives become habituated and mindless. Passion is the force that happens just before the essence of the power that we are is expressed in a physical world. Passion is the receptacle that fills up and holds the power of our being to express fully in a life lived large, and lived with the joy that comes from knowing that we are awake to our own potential!
Purpose: is your reason for becoming willing and able to live large! For those who have discovered the unique Signal of Self that you are in the world, purpose falls from the flow of this signal - from the moment of conversion from essence to space/time in a physical world - and is what calls you forward into your own life, from one breath to the next. Purpose becomes your guidance system... your directional signals... as you move forward in a world that can so easily entice us into the coma of complacency and habituation.
The Space as Metaphor
April 13 to 16, 2010, will see just such an exploration take place at the 5-Star Fairmont Manoir Richelieu at La Malbaie, Quebec. A castle perched on the pinnacle of a rock, overlooking the breadth of the St. Lawrenece River, it offers a metaphor for what awaits us in this inimitable four-day women's retreat. Vast, expansive hallways; domed ceilings and extra wide corridors offer up the space that we will need to allow ourselves to flow freely into the 'more' that we are all capable of becoming. The Manoir has recently experienced the benefits of $140 million in renovations and upgrades, making the interior space as elegant and comfortable as the exterior environment is compelling.
Its stark positioning on the edge of a rock cliff, offering up expansive views with the horizon beckoning from the twinkling lights at twilight, is our invitation to know that there are times when we must be willing to stand alone.... in the dark and before the dawning of a new day... if we are to carve out our worlds in ways that create what we desire. Sheltered in this massive structure, we are held in the comfort of our own good company.
The Invitation
This life-altering retreat is by invitation only. You are invited to consider this experience for yourself because you have made it clear: you're willing and able to engage fully in the process of your own evolution; and you recognize that personal evolution goes beyond a 'quick fix' for a presenting problem... and has become a way of being. By choosing to be here, you'll find yourself in good company of others whose desire for accelerated evolution is as strong as your own.
Many of us will be arriving at The Manoir on Sunday, April 19th, in anticipation of settling in and exploring all that this beautiful property has to offer. With more than 5 restaurants from which to choose - one of them a Four Diamond gourmet experience; and with an onsite Spa that offers a full range of body treatments, you might want to create the space between breaths that will allow you to step into the EF:PPP retreat ready to ENGAGE!
Monday evening there will be a Welcoming Reception for participants and their travelling companions. This will be an opportunity for old friends to reconnect and new ones to be discovered. We will ease our way gently into the massive conversations that will follow, taking the time to settle in and get to know our space and each other.
The Retreat will begin on Tuesday morning, April 21st, at 10:00 a.m. and end on Friday, April 24th, at 4:00 pm. As in all other Emerging Futures retreats, we'll gather at 10:00 a.m. to begin our day; break from 1:00 to 3:00 pm for lunch, journaling, spa treatments, etc.; and reconvene from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm to complete our day. Our evenings are our own to do with as we please. Small group conversations; shared meals; quiet time in solitude to reflect on the day's discoveries... all are possible for the choosing.
The elegant and beautiful space that we will call our own for the four days of the Retreat is the gracious Tea Room. Held as the elegantly appointed space where the women would gather after the evening meal, the Tea Room will be our 'home away from home'. With three sets of French doors leading onto a small balcony overlooking the Seaway, the cool breeze off the water can fill the air. In the large square center of this rectangular room, comfortable, individual chairs and sofas await our time together, offering lots of room for easy access to cups and journals we may bring with us. Surrounding this space are quiet corners and small clusters of seating that offer private spaces for us outside of the retreat hours other than individual rooms; and outside of the public spaces occupied by other guests.
Staying Connected
I know this retreat will change my life - and it can change yours, too. I'm looking for people who want to play the game of personal evolution for the great joy that it brings; and who are seeking to play at this level of the game! Acceleration... massive expantion... limitless potential. These are the outcomes that I seek for myself during these four days of magic and miracles; and I encourage you to join us if you seek these for yourself.
You can trust that you'll be welcomed with open arms and an awakened presence. You can count on open, clear, honest and direct explorations in a context of respect, integrity and personal dignity. And you can expect impact that will propel you powerfully into your own Emerging Future. Since no two are the same, you can also anticipate conversations that hold your interest and attention in ways unparalleled by any other.
If there is a woman in your life who you believe is ready, willing and seeking this level of exploration; someone you would want to travel with as you take this journey of your own, please let me know. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you and potentially offer the information as an invitation for her to step into this Emerging Futures experience.
You're receiving this invitation because you and I have travelled through the unknown before. We've walked alone - in the good company of each other - and have always moved forward in leaps and bounds! The acceleration that I am now experiencing in my own life is something that I have the desire to share with other women. If that's where you are in your own evolution, I welcome your company on this journey.
Your Guide: Louise LeBrun – creator of the WEL-Systems body of knowledge, Evolution by Intention and Emerging Futures.
Integrating the ancient wisdom (the mystical) with what we now know of who we are as human beings from the quantum sciences (equally mystical!) , a new way to live emerges from our willingness to not know and move forward, anyway. Emerging Futures is an invitation from the Higher Self, flowing through the tissue of the physical body, to choose our potential rather than our habits and our fears.
"I will be there. If you want to be there with me, we will honor the majesty in ourselves, each other and the space we find ourselves in. We’ll explore and discover. We’ll laugh together and we’ll cry together. And in the end, we all will have become more. Let me know if you want to be there, too."
