'Introduction to Awareness' with Renee O'Connor
At RizzlesCon 2012

Scheduled for Friday, July 20. 6:30pm - 9:30pm

This Introductory class will be a short three hour segment which will highlight the feeling within our Awareness of a state of Presence, then continue by looking at the keys to sustaining this feeling.

What is Awareness Training?
Awareness training involves turning our attention inward to specific states of consciousness, with an understanding that this process of self-discovery is to be approached with curiosity, not judgment.

Renee will present this workshop

This training will be $125 per person, which is in addition to your RizzlesCon tickets.

Strictly limited places.

Information will be released shortly on how to register.

"Introduction to Awareness"
A SPECIAL WORKSHOP WITH RENEE O'CONNOR
(Scheduled for Saturday Morning)

Based on the work of Mary Rocamora, a non profit school for adults, www.Rocamora.org

Awareness is the practice of paying attention to thoughts and emotions with sincere curiosity and withholding any judgments or expectations on what we are truly feeling. This three hour introductory class includes observing our conceptualizations of the Self, as a contrast to realizing our natural essence of Being love, compassion, and light.

MORE INFORMATION IS TO COME ON HOW TO RESERVE YOUR SPACE IN THIS LIMITED ATTENDANCE EVENT.

Please note that Renee is only doing the workshop this year.

According to notes on Renee's Facebook page and her website, the date of Renee's October Awareness Training seminar in Austin, TX is being changed.  The original date is on a weekend of a University of Texas home football game so hotels are booked up and the prices are higher.  Renee is hoping to move it to sometime during late October - early November.  She will post an update when the date has been reset.

To our dear Awareness participants:

We chose the first weekend in October because we were told there was no home football game for University of Texas. It turns out that the schedule for the games have changed and now there is a big game that weekend in Austin.

Because of the change in football scheduling our hotel is now fully booked and rates among nearby hotels have skyrocketed.

We are looking into moving the seminar to a hotel by the airport. And although not ideal for walking around in the evening, it is not our intention to have you pay such a high premium for a hotel room. We would like to hear any comments on moving to another weekend altogether.
We'd like to know if anyone has made non refundable reservations and how we can help you organize a move.

Please email info@iamaware.info  with your feedback if you are attending.

Thank you for your patience.

Our sincerely apologizes for the incontinence.

Renee and Michelle
