Releasing the ‘I Am Bad’ Belief
An Online Retreat

August 21-25

with Christina Goldsmith and
Jacquelyn Eckert

What is the ‘I Am Bad’ Belief?

A Course in Miracles calls it “guilt.” The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI) calls it “unworthiness.” Regina Dawn Akers simply calls it the “I am bad” belief.

No matter what you call it, it is an untrue belief, most likely adopted in early childhood, which drives actions and reactions in nearly all humans. People make life decisions that they wouldn’t otherwise make because of this belief’s influence. This belief is the primary cause of stress, annoyance, anger, jealousy and other types of mental and emotional suffering. If you release this one belief, your life will be happier, and you will feel much freer than you do with the belief.

The ‘I am Bad’ belief is unconscious for some and somewhat conscious for others, but until it is brought fully into consciousness, the belief cannot be eradicated.

This retreat will focus solely on how to release the ‘I am bad’ belief. If you come, you will learn what you need to learn to be set free!

This retreat was designed by Regina Dawn Akers, who has transcended the ‘I am Bad’ belief. She developed the retreat to show the way, so we can release the belief too. Join facilitators, Christy Goldsmith and Jacquelyn Eckert, in a collaborative effort to root out and transcend this pesky, persistent belief.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day. A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning about 1pm ET (11am MT).

Embodying Truth:
In the World But Not of It

June 12-16

with Anne Blanchard
& Rhoda Makled

Retreat Description

Peace Pilgrim once said, “It took the living quite a while to catch up with the believing, but of course it can, and now if I believe something, I live it.”

Nisargadatta Maharaj said, “Intellectually, you have understood, but you have to be one with it; you have to identify with what you have understood.”

At this retreat, you will learn to live from the spiritual knowledge that you believe and trust. You will look at what you value, assess if your values are aligned with your spiritual desire, and then learn how to bring your values and spiritual desire together into one strong foundation that you actually live, speak and act from.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin on Monday at 9am and end by 3pm on Friday.

Retreat Fee: $375

Dyad Retreat

May 15-19

With Anne Blanchard & Cyndi Krupp

This retreat is for everyone interested in an extremely deep experience of self-inquiry, regardless of whether you are new to self-inquiry or you’ve been practicing self-inquiry for years.

Psychologists have discovered that dyads (two people sharing in a structured way) are a powerful way of going deeper within one’s self in order to see that which is beyond one’s daily conscious awareness. At this retreat, we will utilize this same practice for the purpose of awakening.

Freedom From the Judge
March 24-26
with Jacquelyn Eckert

An Online Retreat

There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind – you are the one who hears it.’ ~ Michael Singer.

Whether we realize it or not, our lives are structured around pleasing what might be called our internal “judge” (aka, the ego or internal critic). In this retreat, we will learn to identify the judge, which is nothing more than a cluster of ideas, standards and beliefs. We will look at how this cluster of thought directs our actions, attention and aspirations.

You will learn to recognize that the voice of the judge is not your voice and learn how hearing this voice as “other” is helpful in discovering you are not your thoughts. We will also examine the ways in which we engage the judge even though we are attempting to disengage and, we will practice disengaging from the judge as a prerequisite to abiding in no-self.

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 10am ET (8am MT) and end at 5pm ET (3pm MT) each day.  A 2-hour lunch period will be provided beginning about 1pm ET (11am MT).

Retreat Fee is $180
