“We are embarking on a journey into a new era and a new planetary community. We are the generations who are exiting the old world, and yet we have not quite entered the new world.”
Caroline Myss - Intimate Conversations with the Divine
~
CMED is thrilled to invite you to join us for a 4-Part Reflections course with Caroline Myss and Robert Holden.
I am thrilled to introduce, Being Swallowed by the Dragon. First of all, I will be co-teaching with a dear friend of 30-plus years, Lynn Bell, who is a master astrologer, writer, and global teacher. I am truly in awe of Lynn's knowledge of astrology. If I had a "back-up" profession, I would want to be an astrologer. Like celestial alchemists who have learned to speak the code of the cosmos, astrologers relate to the events that happen in our world and in our lives through a lens of "order and cycles", the natural flow of life.
When Lynn first mentioned the phrase, "being swallowed by the dragon", I asked her to elaborate on what that meant. She said it referred to the gravitational power of opposition and conflict in our lives. As Lynn will elaborate in this class, the nature of life is governed by energetic cycles, like the way the tides flow in and out in a steady rhythm. Though we are largely unaware of these cycles, we respond to their subtle influence constantly.
For example, the influence of the Dragon refers to the on-going cycle of light and darkness in the cosmos that is intensified during eclipses. An eclipse has always been a celestial event that has fascinated people not just because it is visually extraordinary, but because of its psychic influence. We experience the influence of these celestial forces when we are confronted with choices that make us feel as if we are standing at a crossroads between two positions of power within ourselves: fear or courage, right or wrong, truth or lies.
Collectively, we are experiencing the energetic fire of dragons everywhere, as we are living at a time of opposing forces confronting each other everywhere. Every one of us, I have no doubt, can relate in some way to "dragon" energy in their lives.
I am beyond excited to teach this course with Lynn. I find the way that Lynn, and Robert Ohotto, (who also teaches CMED courses), relate to the celestial realm to be yet another expression of essential knowledge. I feel very blessed that CMED is able to present courses to you taught by two such rare teachers and celestial scholars. This is Lynn's first online program with CMED and we believe we have created a class that is absolutely wondrous.
Love, Caroline
Overview of The Holy Journey
Join Caroline and Robert for THE HOLY JOURNEY - a four-part series in which they take you on an archetypal journey of inner and outer transformation. They will focus especially on perennial themes for this time of year that include Spring Equinox, Lent, Ramadan, the Passover, and Eastertime.
THE HOLY JOURNEY is a personal transformation that you are called to make to awaken a deeper understanding of your sacred contract and higher purpose. This journey is archetypal in that it follows a universal pattern, like in Greek drama, in which the “protagonist” (i.e. you) must undergo a holy transformation – a metanoia – that changes the way you see yourself, your psychology, and realize your capacity to empower your life.
In THE HOLY JOURNEY, Caroline and Robert will weave an inspiring mix of teachings and practices from world faiths, plus inspiration from Carl Jung’s “Night-Sea Journey”, Joseph Campbell’s Hero Journey, the Easter Journey, the 4 stages of Sufi mysticism, and more.
The world as we know it has entered an era of transformation. We are experiencing a death of normal. All that is familiar to us is rapidly fading from view. This is our collective experience of Divine Chaos. The death of normal is happening because we are called to create a better way personally and collectively. We can each participate in this new era by committing to our own spiritual growth and evolution.
Everything you do matters to the whole of life, to everyone’s life. It doesn’t matter that we cannot see the impact of our lives upon the whole of life. All the great teachers have taught that, “What is in one is in the whole.” We all breathe together. Even the slightest good that we do matters, now more than ever.

CLASS ONE
Wednesday, March 29

The Journey Begins!
“When we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.” Wendell Berry
We are all on a journey. We give the journey different names like “the spiritual path”, “a road less travelled”, and “a hero’s journey”. What is your journey? Can you name it? Where are you going? Do you have a compass? How will you get there? In this first class, Caroline and Robert share reflections on both the personal life journey we take individually and the holy journey that we are all on together.
Takeaways
- What is the Spiritual Path? – recognizing your journey, hearing your soul’s calling, and allowing yourself to be led.
- A Time for New Beginnings – the deep roots in winter never doubt that spring will come.
- The Need to Purge – cleansing and fasting, emptying your cupboards, and to make space for the new.
- A Time for Holy Listening – working with the power of prayer to give you guidance and direction on your journey.
- The Invitation of Lent – engaging the power of spirit over matter,and light over darkness.
CLASS TWO
Friday, March 31
12 pm ET / 9 am PT / 5 pm GMT
The Holy Shift!
We are experiencing the “death of normal” in our world.
The “old normal” has been in decline for some time. Now is the time to envision the impossible, a new normal that we have never before imagined. And we are all called to play our part in a holy shift that will create a better life for you and a better world for everyone. What is transformation? What really needs to change? In this class, Caroline and Robert explore the real purpose of the holy journey. They share the key spiritual mechanics and psychological processes we must follow to allow ourselves to be changed, to convert our hearts, and to show up in the world in a new way.
Takeaways
- Navigating the Cosmic Change – recognizing the need for change in the world and being willing to play your part in it.

CLASS THREE
Wednesday, April 5
12 pm ET / 9 am PT / 5 pm GMT
The Three Stages
In this class, Caroline and Robert explore the archetypal pattern of the three stages that happen on a holy journey. For example, in ancient Greek Drama there is Aristotle’s three act structure outlined in Poetics, which includes an inciting incident, an ordeal of some kind, and a victory. In spiritual psychology there is the purgative stage (when we are in the dark), the illuminative stage (when the light comes), and the unitive stage (the fulfilment of the journey). And in Joseph Campbell’s hero journey there is a call to adventure, a road of trials, and the ultimate boon (a spiritual gift we come home with).
Takeaways
- The 3 Days of Easter – how to work with the three stages of inner change and transformation on your holy journey.
- A Mystical interpretation of the Last Supper – exploring some of the key themes in Jesus’s farewell discourse.
- The Story of the Passover – working with the deeper meaning of the Passover story and how it applies to us all today.
- From death to rebirth – dying to your old self and preparing for the resurrection.

Friday, April 7
12 pm ET / 9 am PT / 5 pm GMT
Practicing Resurrection
“We are designed to rise again, to recover, to try again, to love again, to reach out to life, and to look up to the heavens for grace.”
Caroline Myss - Conversations with the Divine
In our final class, Caroline and Robert explore the “how to” of resurrection that enables us to begin again, to change the course of our life, to answer the call of our charism (our spiritual gift), to be blessed by grace, and to become a whole person.
Takeaways
- The Atmosphere of Miracles – “rising from the dead” and starting a new life.
- Using Your Holy Imagination – in which you see that all things are possible with God.
- The Power of Co-Creation – making yourself an instrument and working with the universal laws of light and love.
- Choose Love, Whatever You Do – embracing a new way of being in the world.
PRAISE FOR CAROLINE MYSS & ROBERT HOLDEN
This class was so helpful in getting me through the holidays. I felt like I was connected up to something big. People like me who want to experience the inner meaning of the holy nights. Each class was very touching, thoughtful and inspired material to nourish me on a soul level.
Caroline and Robert form a powerful team. I learned ways to bring mystical truths down to earth in my day to day practice. Thanks for all you do Caroline!
Robert Holden and Caroline Myss compliment each other well and together they wove a wonderful alive-ness. Caroline brought an expansive cosmic overview and then Robert brought the humility & practical details of one human doing what they can to show up to a cosmic vision.
It is often during the Holy Season that our schedules get revved up and we can feel constrained by time-time spent on this series is so worth spending-it takes the Holy Season to a whole new level of insight, depth and understanding. Such richness of reflection, contemplation and wisdom-edge of the seat participation as each module unfolds. What took me most by surprise is how accessible it became to see myself as a modern day mystic providing hope, courage and enthusiasm for deeper reflection.
