PARTNERING WITH SPIRIT
Our Natural Alliances
OVERVIEW
Throughout history, humans have sought connection with spiritual realms for guidance, healing, and wisdom. Partnering with Spirit teaches practical skills for building relationships with subtle allies, beginning with those closest to our own incarnation—our natural alliances.
In this class, you'll explore simple ways to sense, feel, and commune with the subtle beings already woven into your daily existence. We'll share heart-centered practices that awaken your natural ability to perceive and connect with these allies who are always present, yet often unnoticed.
By practicing your skills of perception and relationship with these close-to-home allies, you'll build a healthy foundation for deeper spiritual partnerships that can support the uplifting of our world
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Historically, human beings have always sought out contact with the subtle and spiritual worlds for a variety of reasons. These might include guidance on problems, information about the future, healing for ills, protection from danger, and wisdom for our growth and development. Our reasons have been numerous and varied.
In these times, humanity and the biosphere are facing challenges that threaten our survival and the integrity and wholeness of the ecosystems that support us. Many forms of life, in addition to our own, are in danger. The future is at stake. The problems that exist cannot be solved by a worldview that sees only the physical world as having any reality. Growing our understanding of, and relationship with the subtle realms of life is the necessary shift to open an ecology of relationships that can unlock the resources to meet these current challenges. A partnership with the incarnate and subtle worlds working together is the way forward. It is the need of our time. It is the fiery hope of our time.
The object of this class is different than simply teaching a method of contact with the non-physical realms to gain answers. Its focus is to open our relationship with the non-physical dimensions in ways that allow us to step toward partnership on behalf of our world. We seek to strengthen and deepen our capacities to serve. All of the other reasons an individual may seek a connection with a subtle ally can still be there, but in Partnering with Spirit, the vision and goal of service are paramount.
Fulfilling the hope and the need for partnering in service is the goal of this class.
COURSE FORMAT
Partnering with Spirit will be held on our online education site, Lorianeducation.com. You will have access to the online discussion and materials 24/7 through your ongoing Learning Library.
PARTNERING WITH SPIRIT: NATURAL ALLIANCES is a five-week class that builds on the material learned in previous Core Classes. It focuses on:
Identity and the expression of our personal Presence
Understanding the field of our “natural alliances” - the subtle partnerships and alliances that are organically and naturally part of our unique incarnation
Communicating with the field developing out of our natural alliances – our “Entelechy” – and listening for the wisdom it may have to offer
AN INCARNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
To accomplish this goal, our class will be guided by the following general principles:
That we are participating in both individual and collective incarnational processes
That all incarnation is a manifestation of relationships, partnerships, and collaborations
That a relationship or partnership with a subtle being can be an instrument of incarnation, bringing new energies, qualities, and powers into expression
An alliance with subtle beings is an act of participation in the incarnation of Gaia.
Additional Information will be available when the class opens for registration.

Lorian Core Class Series
The Lorian Core Class Series has been designed and crafted over several years of experience to help a person understand their own subtle nature and to develop a core inner strength of identity, sovereignty, and love.
Learning these principles alone will enhance your relationship to yourself and to the world around you, allowing you to stand strong and be of service in these changing and chaotic times.
Core Classes are also offered to train you in the principles and practices of energetic fitness that allow one to partner with subtle beings safely and to help mediate specific subtle energies into the world as acts of service.
The Lorian Core Series classes build upon each other. We recommend taking these classes in the order below:
Journey into Fire I & II with Julia Spangler
Our Sacred Body with Maryn Spangler
Subtle Energies I & II with Rue Hass
Practical Magic with Rue Hass
Personal Alliances with Jeremy Berg and Freya Secrest
