A newly married woman is exploring how to give more outer form to her marriage, and discovering what it means to grow in realness, togetherness and deeper sexuality with her husband.

Questioners ask John about the inability to forgive and move on from an abusive relationship, what to do with feelings of self doubt and hatred, and how to deal with an inflamed self. John speaks about self importance, the concept of holding oneself as more important than others, as the cause of negative emotions, and an obstacle to being in the heart.

Being in nature is a source of great joy for many, but is there a deeper meaning beyond the pleasures that nature’s abundance and beauty provide? This interview with John de Ruiter was filmed on the last day of a 6 day camping trip in the spectacular Canadian Rockies with over 400 people in attendance. In it, he explains not only the deeper meaning of being in nature but the potential value of being in it together.

Think of the splendor of The Canadian Rockies – beautiful right? Then there is beauty that cannot be imagined, and that’s the awakening deep within us. If awakening is your love, then you will find it at the annual camping trip with John de Ruiter, at the David Thompson Resort.

This is a gorgeous way to introduce yourself to John and his teachings, with two meetings with John per day, interspersed with open mics. You may find yourself at a meal with John and Leigh Ann discussing meaning in life with friends. Otherwise roam the campground and meet hundreds of other people who are living for the same essence. Relax among the trees or go for a swim in the glacier lake down the mountain trail. There will be bonfires, parties, dancing, even a movie night!

In this talk John talks about how to bring your spiritual awakening into your everyday life. He describes moving from within your heart, through the difficulties experienced on the surface levels, when bringing your awakening into form.

John speaks about deepening our spiritual awakening even while we’re feeling inadequate. Nothing needs to stop our spiritual awakening. It doesn’t matter if it temporarily makes us socially inept.
“You may lose their confidence in you and your confidence in your self, while you are really fattening up on beingness.”
John continues by saying “You’re losing what you don’t need while the roots of awareness are growing.”
This is a great introductory talk for people who are experiencing a lack of emotions but who wish to find deeper levels of consciousness and spiritual awakening.

Watch as John speaks to young adults about how to deal with difficult people at work. John encourages us to deepen in our spiritual awakening rather than relating to the frustration that comes with difficult people in the workplace. When we allow ourselves to develop and mature our spiritual awakening, with time, we grow wiser and become more balanced in learning how to deal with difficult people at work. “If you’re going to be your awakening, I’m giving you the short route.” – John de Ruiter. This is a great introductory talk for people who experience someone being angry at work and want to give feedback but don’t know how.
