Welcome to the information page and course outline for Janet Conner's brand new course, The Lotus and The Lily: A Modern Exploration of the Ancient Soul Craft of Co-creation. (previously known as You are a Lily). The title comes from the profound teachings of two masters, Buddha and Jesus on how to create a life of joy by centering your focus on creating the conditions in your life that cannot help but manifest all that you want and more.

 

The Buddha said it succinctly: This is because that is. Most of us need a little help understanding what that means and Thich Nhat Hanh, the world-famous Buddhist monk, translates it for us: When conditions are sufficient, there is a manifestation. (You are Here) Aaah, so the soul craft is to create the right "conditions!"

 

Jesus said exactly the same thing:  

 

 

What does that mean to "seek the kingdom?" Luckily, Neil Douglas Klotz, the world's expert on Jesus' words in his native Aramaic, can translate it for us: "When we pursue a right relationship with the Universal One and allow this relationship to realign our lives, we produce a conditon of receptivity in which anything we need to help us complete our purpose in life will be supplied by the universe." (Blessings of the Cosmos) 

 

Janet Conner, author of Writing Down Your Soul, had the opportunity last December to dive deeply into these two teachings. Facing bancruptcy, she commited to a daily practice of exploring everything she could to turn her life around and create a magical new year. She set her intentions on January 1st and created her first Intention Mandala. By February 6th the bankruptcy attorney told her she had made too much money to qualify!

 

When things like this happen, Janet embraces the experience, explores its deepest meanings, scrambles to research what happened and why it works, and then shares both what she learned and the totally practical and modern spiritual tools and practices she discovered along the way. As Rev Pat Williamson of Unity Christ Church in Golden Valley MN said about Janet and her teaching last June, "This is practical spirituality at its best."

 

 

 

In The Lotus and The Lily, Janet merges three core teachings from three great masters: Buddha, Jesus, and Lao Tzu, with the almost magical powers of ritual, symbolism, and spoken prayer, and adds the modern spiritual teachings about intention, law of attraction, prosperity, and deep soul writing to create a month-long personal practice that feeds all of you--body, mind, and soul. The course culminates with the creation of your personal Intention Mandala -- a powerful image that aligns your soul's purpose and your heart's desires. The result? You co-create with your divine partner a life of joy, peace--and yes, abundance.

 

But here's the paradox. You get all that you want and more by NOT focusing on what you want. This is not our current understanding--or rather more accurately, mis-understanding--of attraction. In The Lotus and The Lily, you will learn how to shift your attention to creating the conditions that automatically attract what you want. Or as Jesus said, "set your heart on the kingdom."

 

 

COURSE STRUCTURE

The Lotus and The Lily is a telecourse. When you register you will be set up on freeconference.com. Prior to the first telephone class, you will receive an invitation from freeconference.com with the call in information. It is typically a 605 number in the midwest US. Janet will send a PDF of the workbook several days before class begins.

 

The course meets for six consecutive Thursdays, Sept 9, 16, 23, 30, and Oct 7, 14 at 8PM EDT.  All calls are recorded so don't be concerned about missing anything. Then, one month later on Thursday November 11 the class comes together again to share and celebrate what has happened in our lives since the creation of our Intention Mandalas.

 

What can you expect? Here are some comments from the first You are a Lily telecourse:

 

The Lotus and Lily process led me gently and clearly into a whole new realm of possibilities. I am amazed by the daily evidence that this works! Jazz Jaeschke, Austin TX



The Lotus and The Lily enabled me to identify, recognize and start creating the purpose-driven, heart-centered life I am here to live, be and do. At long last, I am able to trust, surrender, get my little self out of the way and follow. Diana Feng Raggett, Saratoga CA


The Lotus and The Lily and my Intention Mandala give me the foundation to be a true partner with God in co-creating the life I want to live. Mary Gutierrez, Phoenix AZ

My mandala is such a centering influence on my life and well-being. As I consistently live those conditions, I see that all is truly well. Sue Hajec, Kalamazoo MI

Class overview:

 

Class 1 The Story Behind Lily, and how to set your Intention and create your Rituals 

All Janet's classes begin with a blessing, breathing in the love of God, candle lighting, and prayer, and a message from Hafiz, the great Sufi mystic. Then, we'll all say hello and introduce a bit about ourselves. Janet will share how the seeds of this coure evolved beginning in 2006, the year she created her first Intention Mandala and experienced eye-popping results. She'll explain what Archangel Michael has to do with Lily (plenty!) and how the wisdom of Buddha as interpreted for modern ears by the famous Vietnamese Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, completely changed her understanding of the Law of Attraction. in one sentence. Yes, just one sentence. Turns out everything you need to know about abundance is explained clearly in one sentence. Then, Janet will introduce you to the PlayBook (no workbook here, this is divine play not work), and help you get ready for the week ahead.

 

Take aways in week one:

 

Sept 16

 

After our breath and blessing, we'll share what happened last week as we explored the power of ritual. Come prepared to be deeply moved by one another's prayers and processes. Then, Janet will explain the sacred geometry symbol of the Lily process as she received it in the middle of the night including the explanation from the masters and teachers of the Akashic Record. Then, she'll walk you through the coming week's experiences looking back at the past year and even further to extrapolate the lessons, gifts, learnings. When you see your history clearly and honor the gifts your story has given you to date, you can finally stop repeating any frustrating or painful parts. 

 

Take aways in week two:

 

Sept 23

 

We will begin with Janet's opening blessing ritual, then share our experiences in the past week exploring the rich gifts of our history in partnership with our Divine Partner. Then, Janet will introduce the profound practice of forgiveness. The currency of the universe is forgiveness. There is nothing more important. Janet will share several forgiveness tools from spiritual masters of different traditions ancient and modern. You will not just learn about forgiveness; you will experience it. Then you will spend the next week doing profound forgiveness work, forgiving yourself, those who have harmed you, and those whom you have harmed. You will feel 100 pounds lighter by the end of the week!

 

Take aways in week three:

 

Sept 30

 

After our opening blessing ritual, we will share our forgiveness stories from the last week. Come prepared to bless and be blessed by the powerful releases that happened in the past few days. Then, Janet will introduce the work of the coming week: getting clear about what you want. She'll review how humanity has shifted in its understanding of how to ask for and receive what we think we want -- and why we so often don't get it. Standing firmly on the wisdom of the great spiritual masters, Janet will help you look at how to uncover, in partnership with your Divine Guide, what you really want and how you know it's right for you. And, are you ready for this, the Beach Boys will be your instructors. Really.

 

Take aways for week four:

October 7

 

After our opening blessings, we will share what happened in the past week as we uncovered what we really want. Be prepared to be surprised, at yourself, and at others. Janet will share what she has learned about the mystical power of mandalas from the ancients to Carl Jung. She'll walk you through how to set up your own soul day experience to create your own divine Intention Mandala using a Lotus or Lily if that's the image that speaks to you or your own personal symbol of transformation, service, and love.

 

Take aways for week five:

 

October 14

 

After our opening blessings, we will enjoy a great sharing of our Intention Mandala stories and photos of the mandalas themselves for those that wish to share. The group will affirm and celebrate each person's Divine Purpose and Intention Mandala. Janet will then teach us how to bring our Mandalas to life. She'll talk about different ways you can incorporate your mandala and it's meaning into your daily life so that it holds and sustains your intention to create a more joyful life. She'll close with instructions on collecting Evidence that your Intention Mandala is creating manifestation.

 

For the next 29 days, you will live your Intention, engage in your daily spiritual practice and allow your Mandala to feed your conscious and subconsious mind.

 

Take aways for week six:

 

November 11

 

After our opening blessings, we will share what has happened in the first month of living our Intentions. It will be a joyous night of stories and celebration. Janet will join us in a statment of love and support for one another to create energy to sustain our Intentions for the rest of the year.
