Living in Freedom

Upcoming Events with Jim Dreaver

"Jim is one of the more enlightened minds on the planet." -Patrick J. Harbula, author of The Magic of the Soul and President of the Spiritual Unity Movement

"Whenever I am with Jim, his clear, powerful presence makes it easy for me to be present, and I feel a lot freer of all that was bothering me. This has had the effect of a momentum towards freedom growing inside me, and I can literally sense my creative potential wanting to explode. It feels great...!" -Cameron Pazirandeh, Pacific Palisades, CA

Like Eckhart Tolle, to whom his work has been compared, Jim teaches a path to freedom through being very present with you, which then allows you to be more present, and to taste self-realization: the experience of being fully embodied in your true power, the power of confidence, wisdom, and love. Then everything in your life—health, creativity, relationships, work, finances—begins to flow more harmoniously.

What is unique and different about Jim’s message is the simple practice he teaches in his new book, end your story. Begin your life… Mastering the Practice of Freedom. It is a way of bringing yourself back to presence whenever you’re in conflict, upset, or suffering. No matter what the circumstances or situation, as you learn to welcome everything you experience inwardly, which is the essence of the practice, you find yourself much more present. It’s magical how it works!

Free yourself from the “stories” that trigger the stress, anxiety, fear, guilt, anger, depression, and all other forms of emotional upset in our bodies.
Awaken to the inner peace that does not depend on circumstances.
Turn challenges and problems, including health issues, into opportunities for creativity, growth, and healing.
Develop relationships that are rich in love, joy, and meaning.
Use the power of thought consciously to create a new story for your life.
Discover your unique purpose, and embody it with clarity and certainty.

There is nothing more enjoyable (truly!) than being with people who are passionate about presence, so come join us for an event that will be enlightening, engaging, and fun!

After the Esalen Workshop, July 5 - 10, 2009

Esalen was a wonderful experience for all. The weather was gorgeous every day, the views of the Big Sur coast from our workshop space in Fritz Perls' house absolutely stunning. Meanwhile, this feedback from participants:

"I am remembering that I am consciousness itself. Thank you so much for your wisdom, your teachings, and the calm resonance you bestow into my heart." - Phil Saltonstall, Mill Valley, CA

"The pictures brought all the wonderful memories of the ecstatic week flooding back to me... I hope everyone is floating in the sea of consciousness and bliss we created together there at Esalen, and remembering, when challenges to that bliss state arise, that we are not our stories, nor the emotions generated through them." -Juliana Dahl, Aspen, CO

"I loved the week we all shared together at Esalen. I have used the three-step practice numerous times during turbulence upon re-entry here in my normal daily life. It works! Thank you, Jim." -John Petz, Santa Monica, CA

“I feel such joy and freedom after the workshop that I often find myself grinning from ear-to-ear. Thank you, Jim and Lee!” -Luz Johnson, Lake Elsinore, CA
