Subjective Reality Workshop: Who's Attending?

[SatvikBeri]

Title says it all. When I saw that Steve was doing a Subjective Reality workshop I knew I had to attend, and I manifested the money within 24 hours . I'll probably be bringing a friend as well. Who else is planning on going?

[mikeschu]

If I go to a workshop in this rotation SRW will be the only one.

My only concern going forward is if the group composition for this workshop will be open to exploring SRW or closed and fighting the weekend (and Steve) the entire way. No real way to know or influence that ... yet.

Edited to add:

I'm not against anyone attending or doubting Steve's capability to guide the group. I think the right people will show up and Steve will be as awesome as he normally is in delivering a mind-blowing seminar. However, just like in any seminar the group composition has a lot of impact on the workshop experience. I was at CGW #2 and #3 and they were quite different from each other even if the topics were the same and with adjusting for Steve's delivery. I'm certainly expecting some variance on who attends SRW. It's just that due to the nature of this particular topic, who shows up will likely matter more than any other workshop that Steve's putting on.

If we get 90 Neos in the room with red pill in hand, bring canyoneering equipment because the subjective reality hole is really deep. If we get 90 copies of Mr. Data railing against the experience, it could be a very long weekend canyoneering trip into Dante's Inferno.

I'll be there Nice work on the manifestation! I reckon that the price of entry might be enough to deter the less open-minded - why would Mr. Data pay good money to attend a workshop on such nonsense?

$400-500 for a weekend seminar like this and CGW is cheap! A lot of seminars that are "free" or low cost are loss leaders because they're effectively sales sessions for higher priced workshops.

I was at both of these two, and I felt the difference was also very largely impacted by the different format Steve used for the workshop. There was a lot more planned interaction between people in #2 whereas #3 was a lot "drier", so that had a huge impact it seems to me on the social aspect of the workshop.

I'm interested in the Subjective Workshop too. I don't yet know if I'll go as that depends on other factors, and I don't feel it's a "must-go" workshop. I feel more like it'll be a fun and interesting workshop though if I make it. If the stars align, I'll go, if not, I won't.

I'm gonna go - I just need to wait for the plane tickets, hotel and workshop fee to manifest themselves....

I've already signed up. I was the same way. As soon as I saw that Steve was doing a Subjective Reality workshop I knew that I'd be there. I've used SR quite a bit in the past and seen some great and life changing results. I can't wait to learn (and apply) more. I manifested the money for this and a workshop that my wife is taking (at three times the cost of this one) just as SRW was being announced, so I definitely feel this is the right course of action to take. I'm way excited.

Dude, it's subjective reality. Meaning: you will get out of the workshop what you subjectively put into it.

I would say that if you are planning on entering the workshop with this mindset, you might wanna just go ahead and get your money back now.

Remember: subjective reality...i.e. YOU are creating this. Which means if you bring 90 Mr. Data's into YOUR workshop, then it's your job to figure out why you have created that.

Yeah, I manifested the impulsiveness to sign up for this today. The money was in my closet.

It feels like a good move right now, it gives me a solid date to plan around. The plan being pack up everything and move back into my truck, go to vegas, continue to the west coast homeland, then fly to india in nov. Now I just need to get a plane ticket...

[KtotheB]

I'll be there.

[SatvikBeri]

Yay! I'm happy so many awesome people are going to be there . My friend is definitely coming as well, so it's going to be a blast!

[Alexi]

Steve, will this or any of the other looming workshops be recorded for purchase?

[RustyHaley]

Looking forward to learning more. I'm a newbie at this.

Hello all,

I will be attending the subjective reality workshop, getting in the Wednesday before and leaving the Tuesday after. If you have not already made your travel plans, hotels are getting mighty expensive. I am staying at the Hampton/Tropicana which is slightly off the strip but offers a heck of a value compared to staying on the strip. It is much cheaper and includes a breakfast buffet, free internet and a free shuttle to set locations such as the airport, New York New York and the Tropicana. The Tropicana is only minutes away on foot anyway. I got a great deal booking my airline ticket and hotel together. Now I have never stayed there, so I don't know what I am getting into....but the reviews are pretty good.

I look forward to hearing about who is coming and potentially planning some activities. You can go to other posts about CGW to see the types of fun we had in the past--shows, hikes, walks on the strip, roller coasters, blackjack and much more!

I'll be there, can't wait to learn more about SR

[Andrew Wilcox]

I'm going!

And I'll be in costume for the first session!

I hope that all the attendees had fun. What was it like to experience SR?

I regret not being able to attend this time. But it was good that I didn't go, because I've been sick since last week.

I am planning to attend the CSW in January, although I understand that this workshop is structured more linearly. Nowadays I wish that there would be more nonlinear components in CSW. The reason is that I've been experiencing quite a few challenges this year - experiences that have taxed me emotionally, and my heart seems to crave for holistic and healing experiences.

I could go on a vision quest again, but that would not happen until around June/July of next year. My heart needs some assuagement now ...

Subjective reality seems very challenging to hold as a belief system. I've been slowly making my way to this belief system, with occasional lapses where I forget and go back to objectivity. The whole issue is that other people in your reality consistently reinforce the objective model. But they're not really other people, they are all you and you are everything that exists in the present moment. The biggest shift has to be from ego-centeredness to awareness-centeredness. Maintaining that perspective is exhausting and challenging at the point I am at right now.

I just wish I knew someone who was as interested in this stuff as me. I used to know someone, but he is no longer on this plane of existence. I guess the next time there is an SRW (if there is), I'll have to go and see if it gives me the breakthrough I need to truly embrace this belief. It's just very hard to maintain it from my personal experience.

Going to workshops is a great way to meet the people who'll help enforce that mindset, you know . It's almost impossible *not* to shift your mindset when surrounded by supporting people

It was an interesting workshop for sure. It felt like a partial CGW5 reunion. There were many CGW 6 alumni as well, which was interesting because it was only one month earlier. For me, the workshop started off painfully slow on Friday morning, as Steve was introducing the concept of subjective reality. However, in the afternoon some things got really interesting. We were doing a group exercise where we discussed a problem that we were having recently and how it could relate to subjective reality. I discussed my problem of guilt over my recent move away from home. Going in to the afternoon break right after this exercise, I get a call from home and get into an intense argument over the phone. It left me drained the rest of the afternoon. People reported being more tired after the first day than the other two days. Saturday was an improvement, as everyone had more energy throughout the day. I was still craving more interactions on Saturday, though. Sunday was the best day of all of them, as Steve introduced the concept of being playful, so we went into lunch being all playful, which made it fun. Some of us helped out a homeless mother who was begging, and this prompted me to call home and settle an argument from two days earlier. I felt lighter as each day wore on. I started off feeling reserved on Friday to being a goofball on Sunday night. A couple other attendees and I were joking around on Sunday night because the bouncers at the Palazzo would not let us into the nightclub for dancing because none of the men were dressed appropriately, but the ladies were dressed stunningly. We went our separate ways, but it was for the better because the simulator allowed us to do activities that we really wanted to do. That is my summary for SRW for those of you who could not attend.
