Atlanta, February 23-27, 2011
Five days of live programs with Saniel and Linda in the Atlanta area, including workshops, private sessions, and introductory programs.
I. An evening with the Atlanta Integral Salon and Ken Wilber Meetup Group
Saniel and Linda were presenters at
Integral Spiritual Experience 2 at the turn of the new year and have much to share about the latest explorations and exchanges with Integral leaders from around the world! They will also present the highlights from their ISE2 plenary keynote presentation:
We're Called to Fall in Love in All Four Quadrants.
Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2011, 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Venue: Atlanta Integral Salon, 870 Inman Village Parkway NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
Details: Open to the general public. All are welcome and invited. No charge.
"Saniel Bonder is one in whom the Conscious Principle is awakened, and he is attempting to forge a new path of mutuality in the midst of ordinary, messy, everyday realities – and Linda Groves-Bonder is a brilliant teacher in her own right."
– Ken Wilber, author of Integral Spirituality, founder of Integral Institute
II. Great Relief Introductory Evening
Whether you're aware of it or not, "almost everyone around you feels like something is wrong, missing, or unclear at the core of life most of the time." This is the premise of the very first of
Nine Sacred Secrets Your Body Wants You to Know in Saniel Bonder's book
Great Relief. If we admit this statement is true for us, even if only some of the time, it could seem depressing. But imagine instead that the mere recognition and embrace of this awareness becomes the key to a fundamental sense of well-being and the source of truly lasting and Great Relief.
During this evening expedition, Saniel and Linda will lead us on a "hero's journey" of the heart. Much like practicing the wisdom of the "Serenity Prayer," we learn what kinds of pain are inevitable, what kinds in contrast are unnecessary "additives" -- and how to stop adding these to the unavoidable stresses and difficulties of living. For many of us this evening will change our lives in a subtle yet deep way -- as the book itself already has for many readers.
Date: Thursday, February 24, 2011, 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Venue: Open Mind Center, Holcomb Bridge Crossing, 1575 Old Alabama Rd. #213
Roswell, GA 30076
Suggested offering: $20 at the door

IV. Great Relief Journey
Nine Sacred Secrets Your Body Wants You To Know About Freedom, Love, Trust, and the Core Wound of Your Life
...and what these Nine Secrets can give you that your mind and willful efforts to change yourself can't.
Do you experience the gnawing feeling that something is missing, or something is fundamentally wrong -- with you or with life -- even in spite of a having a beautiful family, a great career, or a good life (if you're blessed to have any or all of these)? If nothing brings you peace or satisfaction for long, Saniel Bonder and Linda Groves-Bonder's way of clarifying things may quietly amaze you.
Based on Saniel's book
Great Relief, this one-day workshop with Saniel and his wife and teaching partner Linda will help you deeply explore the "core wound" of your existence -- opening you to greater freedom, love, and trust. Whether you're an everyday, more or less secular person just making your way through a challenging life, a religious believer, a spiritual practitioner, or a mix, each sacred secret in this workshop will help you learn to stop adding unnecessary pain to the paradoxical distress of the core wound -- the stark mystery of being human.
PS: Count on lots of laughter, joy, and encouragement, a reframing of perhaps negative ways you see yourself and your life, and some really moving encounters with Linda, Saniel, and other participants.
Date: Saturday, February 26, 2011, 10:30am - 6:30pm
Venue: Open Mind Center, Holcomb Bridge Crossing, 1575 Old Alabama Rd. #213

V. Live the Heart:
Three Prescriptions for Personal & Global Transformation
A one-day workshop for committed Waking Down in Mutuality practitioners
Three newly-articulated Heart orientations will be offered by Waking Down founder Saniel Bonder and his wife and Senior Teacher, Linda Groves-Bonder as practical "prescriptions" to help Waking Down in Mutuality practitioners live in sacred freedom, joy, and love in their day-to-day lives. These simple yet profound intentions, and the actions you choose to express them, can help you achieve lasting evolutionary transformations in your heart and in your world.
Rx #1: Realize and Be the Heart
Wherever you are in the Waking Down process -- before or after the Second Birth -- you have a gift you can enjoy and continue to cultivate: the opportunity to land more deeply in your divine nature without sacrificing "ego personhood". That divinely human presence and participation is what we mean by "the Heart." As you model this in your daily interactions, those around you begin to "feel" or sense this both unconsciously and consciously, creating subtle shifts and openings in your relationships.
Rx #2: Radiate and Celebrate the Heart
Living deeply
in and
as the Heart, beyond the boundaries of your typical, confined feelings, grants you more and more freedom to be authentic and to love. You become a naturally radiant being. In Mutuality the holding of this principle creates a bonding -- a true source -- that also radiates from your Tribe out to the world. When we connect through music, art, dance, and all kinds of ordinary and special ways of being together, this joyful celebration intensifies the Heart radiance and deepens our Mutuality. And this in turn strengthens us all at the core and magnetically attracts many others into our radiant, celebratory life-way.
Rx #3: Serve and Preserve the Heart
This prescription especially addresses those individuals who have awakened stably into their Second Births and matured well past that transition. It asks those seasoned and deeply grateful Second Life practitioners to prepare the way for this work and to ensure its availability for future generations. For those in the Rot or the Wakedown Shakedown (the early stages of the process, before and after the Second Birth), you can best serve and preserve the Heart simply by being authentically YOU -- setting the example for the searching or receptive individuals you encounter and attract into Mutuality.
Your clear demonstration that you are under no obligations except that of your own integrity will be a lifeline for many others.
"If you spend enough time with Saniel, you can't help but begin to see in yourself what he has been seeing all along, that you are Divine Greatness emerging. There is a gentle yet persistent call from Saniel to become the Great One that you can be. ...
"If you long to be deeply loved, seen and honored AND you feel an undeniable call to manifest your gifts and live your divinity, you can't go wrong working with Saniel. He stands in himself with a natural authority and confidence, and through the simple blessing of his presence and guidance I am discovering and daring to step into my own."
– Jed Bentley,
Rolfer and Waking Down in Mutuality Mentor,
San Rafael, CA
Join us for a day of gazing transmission, extended deep meditation, and new material and valuable insights from Saniel and Linda. Understand how you can take these Prescriptions beyond our own circles of Mutuality into all aspects of your life.
For most of the day, Linda and Saniel will take our questions and comments and work with us, and we will spend significant time in triads or small groups. This is a great opportunity to be with the founder and a leading senior teacher of our Way and with other serious practitioners, all working at the leading edges of our further growth and transformation. A must for anyone interested in or practicing Waking Down.
