Guidance

.
During the latest workshop my partner Sam and I recently taught in Zuid Limburg, it became very obvious that we are guided to the best place, the best topic, the best of everything. All we, as humans, have to do is to be open to whatever guidance is being offered by the Universe.

So here is what happened.
We had found a wonderful spot in nature with a nice energy we thought was a great place to teach a 4-day workshop. We also found a nice hotel that would be able to accommodate our group located close by. So we started putting together a contract with the hotel, fully intending to put our workshop together around that particular place and hotel.
Yet pretty soon we found that the contract with the hotel didn’t come together the way we envisioned it, and we backed out of it.

It wasn’t hard to find another hotel in the same area, however, from this new hotel it would be a little drive to the natural setting we wished to use. But then again, that is not the end of the world.

So we put together the contract with the hotel, we dreamed up a great program for our workshop, and pretty soon a wonderful group of people had signed up for it.
And yet, there was this nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite perfect yet…

When we arrived a couple of days before the workshop started, we found that there were difficulties to access the natural area we had chosen. So we just started walking through the forest across from the hotel. Nice, easy access on wide pathways led us into a very special setting. Special on one hand because of its natural beauty; on the other hand because of its specific energies that matched the program of our workshop perfectly!
The whole area was much better suited to the workshop ~ the topic of the workshop as well as the group of people who had signed up for it ~ we were going to teach. And better yet, we found some very pleasant, yet unanticipated surprises in the energy that would give the workshop a nice boost!

We most definitely were guided to this very special place in nature.
And all we had to do was to be open to it. To be unafraid to change plans, rather than to go out of our way to ‘make things work’. And to follow the whispers of that quiet place within when it told us: “There is a better way”.
