Repatriation Online Course 101 Starts October 30th!
Course Description
Repatriation, by even the slightest stretch of one’s imagination, is a gargantuan endeavor. Complex because it is entangled with the ideals held by a people clinging desperately to the hope that home is as it once was a paradise innocent of the evil that now imposes
itself on our reality and the fears that drain our brain. For without that hope, many of us would have died a final death many generations ago.
Repatriation, however, is most often anything but what we expect. Rather it can be a gruesome grinding process, a painful rebirthing and very often life-threatening. Our mental and spiritual return to the Way that was when we were innocent of such a world is a journey greater than the distance we travelled over seas. All too often we are discouraged by the obstacles, failing to see their purpose in our own evolution, which is kith and kin to Repatriation.
Our course will be a series of 5 discussions that will delve into all aspects of Repatriation. The sole objective is to better prepare your mind for the reality on the ground as it pertains to the logistics of relocating, the realities of it and the prospects for surviving and thriving. Some have asked, if it’s so much trouble, then why bother? It’s a good question only if you have a better alternative. This class is not for tourists.
