Yep, you guessed it – this is to promote Assembly 2020. Please feel free to
send this to anyone you wish. At a later date, we will include Assembly and
room costs as well as pre-enrollment information. In the meantime, please enjoy this article by Janet Cornwell
The 5 “Ws” and the “H” for Assembly 2020
WHAT IS AN ASSEMBLY?
A Prosperos Assembly is a gathering of students from all over the country—and the world. We spend a weekend together listening to talks and lessons, and having discussions, about the School’s teachings and their practical applications. Along the way we reconnect with old friends, welcome new friends, and enjoy the shared spirit of Aloha that infuses all our activities.
WHO COMES TO ASSEMBLIES?
As we noted, our students come from all over. Longtime members of the School, many of whom have achieved the designations of High Watch and Mentor (teacher/counselor), bring years of experience to share. New students bring questions and added perspectives that enlarge our collective understanding. Everyone brings something to offer, and everyone takes home new ideas and warm memories.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND AN ASSEMBLY?
There’s something about being in the same space with fellow students that brings out people’s energy in ways no other form of communication can match. All five ordinary physical senses—plus the more subtle senses like intuition—find expression and exercise as we talk, listen, question, laugh, reminisce, help each other with lessons and tasks, share meals, and enjoy each other’s company. You’ll be able to talk over interesting points from our presentations, and get helpful advice for putting learning into practice, in a caring, supportive community dedicated to spiritual growth. Many of our instructors will be there, as well, so you can get to know them, and find out about classes and workshops they may be planning in your area. You’ll also be able to “test drive” our books, and peruse audio recordings you may want to take home.
WHEN IS THE NEXT ASSEMBLY?
The next Prosperos Assembly will take place over the Labor Day weekend of September 4-7, 2020. Activities will begin with a welcoming social gathering on Friday evening, and will conclude with a wrap-up and farewell on Monday morning.
WHERE IS THE NEXT ASSEMBLY?
Assembly 2020 will be held in beautiful Colorado, not far from Denver. There is much to see and do nearby, so if you can take the time, work in a side trip or two to local attractions! Our meeting venue is the Westin Westminster; you can check their website (https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/denww-the-westin-westminster/?scid=bb1a189a-fec3-4d19-a255-54ba596febe2) to learn more about the hotel. More information is also available through The Prosperos website (https://theprosperos.org/community/uplook/first-blog-post), where you can find out about our group discount on room reservations, as well as travel suggestions and information about shuttle service to and from the airport once we have finalized that information.
HOW DO I BECOME PART OF ASSEMBLY 2020?
You will want to make travel and hotel arrangements as soon as possible, to get the best rates. (As noted above, you’ll want to check our Assembly Fact Sheet [link to follow] for more details.) The event registration fee may be paid in advance (yes, there is an “Early Bird” discount!), or it may be settled at the door. If you will be attending alone and would like to find a roommate to share expenses, we may be able to help; please ask.
We look forward to seeing you at The Prosperos Assembly 2020!
