Volunteer Programs
In the quest for stillness, one reaches a tipping point. The tipping point is the transition from receiving to giving, from searching to trust. The state of giving is the state of service. It is the natural progression in the quest of stillness. Service is a practice on the path to stillness and a component of the Technology of Stillness. Service shifts the attention from self to others, from the mind to the community.
The paradox of service is that by shifting your attention away from "what's in it for me" to "how can I make a difference for someone else," all the perceived benefits of finding "what's in it for me" appear. It's a kind of joke of the universe. Look away to find yourself.
In addition to serving others in your own way, we offer you two possible ways to serve:
The Production Team
To support each Living at Ease course, we form a Production Team. The Team's purpose is to handle all the physical parts necessary for the course to happen. The Production Team is responsible for tasks such as setting up the room, preparing the food for the course and communicating with the participants before and after the course.
To qualify as a team member, you are required to have attended two Living at Ease course and one Integrating Ease. Most important, you must be willing to serve and to be coached in service while on the team.
The Production Team serves for a period of about five weeks prior to each Living at Ease course. The Team meets by teleconference (to support those who must travel to participate) before each course and serves the entire weekend of the course (starting at 3:00 PM on Friday of the course).
Sharing the Experience of Ease
The world desperately needs stillness, or nondisturbance. We are committed to sharing stillness in every way we can. You can work with us.
If you look into how you were introduced to At Ease, unless you are the rare exception, someone referred you. An invitation to experience the Technology of Stillness® is an invitation for someone to fundamentally change their way of being. Responding to such a fundamental change, though possibly exciting, required a lot of trust, whether conscious or not. Your friend provided the platform to you for that trust to exist. Expansion is a continuum. For it to continue, it must be shared. In the spirit of flow, and in honor of the person who shared with you, pass it on.
If you are inspired to share the Technology of Stillness with your family, friends, and co-workers, we can support you in at least a couple of ways. First, every three weeks or so we hold public courses at no cost to introduce new people to the experience of stillness. See the schedule and location for these free introductory courses. Second, we can co-create with you a very special evening course -- free of charge -- in your home or other location of your choice to introduce those you invite to stillness.
There may also be other ways that we can support you in sharing stillness. Let us know how we can work with you to get the word out. We would be delighted for your partnership in increasing peace on the planet.
