Expanding self-awareness and moving away from self-improvement will be the focus of the 10th annual Canadian, June 9 to 11 at 琉璃神社鈥檚 Rotary Centre for the Arts.
More than 300 people from across North America are expected for The Who Do You Think You Are conference, hosted by the Centre for Spiritual Living, and featureing world-changing thinkers and innovators including bestselling author and keynote speaker Derek Rydall on The End to Self-Improvement.
鈥淭he whole goal of the universe is about the greater unfoldment of your soul鈥檚 true nature,鈥� Rydall said. 鈥淓verything, without exception, is there to serve your evolution.鈥�
Conference chair Dr. Deborah Gordon, who is also spiritual director of the 琉璃神社 Centre for Spiritual Living, said it鈥檚 important for people to take time to seriously examine who they truly are.
鈥淎ll of us at some time have wondered that very thing, and hopefully not just as the inner 鈥減arental鈥� voice but one that goes deeper into the essence of ourselves,鈥� Gordon said. 鈥淎t this time, when we have so much technology telling us who we 鈥榮hould鈥� be, it鈥檚 important for us to take time to appreciate that all of humanity has more potential and more power than we might be aware of. This conference is designed to assist people in tapping into that greater awareness.鈥�
In his keynote address, Rydall will be examining the need to release the need to conform to mainstream ideals that insist we need to be fixed 鈥� that we must constantly be improving ourselves in order to generate a growing confidence, contentment and self-trust.
鈥淲hat if this were not so? Then we might just become our own authority,鈥� he said.
The Centre for Spiritual Living is a member of the Association of Global New Thought, which represents more than 800 communities around the world.
New Thought teachings advocate that there is an Infinite Intelligence, everywhere present from which all has been and is created, and that our true selfhood is divine in nature with the access to this infinite mind; that all thought is creative and that the power resides right where we each are, to affect the reality of our choosing.
