October Online Workshop- Kingdom of Heaven: Kingdom of God
Led by Rev. Maggy Whitehouse
|
Saturday 16th October, 2021
10am – 4.30pm Online via zoom We read these phrases in the New Testament again and again. But what do they truly mean? Are they used interchangeably? What should we do with them? Are we nearly there yet?!
Let us go back in time to access the understanding of those who wrote down these words of Jesus of Nazareth. They knew the magic and mystery revealed in them and how to use each one as a springboard for understanding humanity, the universe and our relationship with the Divine. Jesus made it clear that the moment we experience the meaning of those two phrases, we do not need priests; we have direct access to the Holy One. Following the pathway he set through the four Gospels, we too can tear the veil of the Temple and experience Shekhinah, the Presence of God on Earth. We will discover the beauty of pure truth and the spiritual champagne of becoming a vessel for Grace. Ideally, this workshop should put me out of a job! The powerful mystical meanings within these two phrases, take us beyond religion, to a place of wisdom and understanding; resources much needed in our modern, chaotic world. Maggy will use ancient Judaeo-Christian mystical teachings stories, meditations and laughter to take us into the perennial truth of the Kingdom of Heaven and the soul of wisdom that is the Kingdom of God. This will be a day of revelation, of joy and re-membrance. Book your place with a donation |

Maggy does not teach that one has to ‘aspire’ or ‘climb ladders of perfection’ to attain what is clearly out of normal human reach. No, she explains, with humour and humanity, how we can actually touch the magic ‘down here’, in and through our cracked ego-protecting shells. I guarantee that if you’re genuinely open to her message, whatever background, path or tradition you happen to have arrived here from, you will come away touched and changed
