Abstract: This workshop is a participatory inquiry into the nature of presence in the imaginal world, which I am describing as spiritual presence. There are three main realms of reality that is recorded in human history: The world of the senses, the world of the imaginal and the world of the (Divine) Intelligence. Many mystics and seers would say that it is the imaginal world that bridges the sensing world with the Divine Intelligence sometimes referred to as the Divine Ground. The imaginal world is the place where the visionary finds herself in the presence of the supernatural who reveals Itself[i]. This is the place of soul-development and divine alchemy. Our part in this creative process is to be receptive to these deeper layers of consciousness that is the imaginal realm: to find ways of cultivating the skill of `thinning’ the perceptual layers that divide the imaginal from our normal ways of existing, and divides the imagine world from Divine Intelligence. It is said that human beings long for union with the Divine Creator, of which we are a part, and this can only happen through the deeper connection to the imaginal to link to the Divine. In this workshop I want to link the deeper connections within the imaginal world with the concept of presence. Presence is a manifestation of spirit-in-action with the ability to move between worlds, the physical and the imaginal. This movement allows us to work wholeheartedly with our mind, body and soul in the most complete way.
