From time to time I have given presentations on Pathwork or on Lectures or learned of other tools, etc. This page contains a number of them. For more information, please contact me. Note that some of these are all available as PowerPoint presentations if desired. Here they are PDF files, 1 or 2 slides per page — click on the title to open the resource.
Pathwork Teleconference Format – Rigsby/Itkin
Here is an example of a 90-120 minute Pathwork teleconference format developed by Jan Rigsby and Lea Itkin. It is based upon 12-step meeting techniques and integrates Pathwork lecture material — hence they named the program Pathwork Steps Teleconference. For more information about Jan’s and Lea’s Pathwork Steps Teleconference format from Jan’s website click here. For example click here. I have tried it and found it very effective. Jan and Lea encourage others to try it and are willing to help folks get started.
Pathwork Commitment/Blessing Ritual
This is a Pathwork Ritual for ending events needing a commitment from people for their personal growth as well as for their service to a purpose greater than themselves. It has been used at a helper retreat at Sevenoaks. (5/30/11)
Pathwork Lecture 177 Pleasure — The Full Pulsation of Life
Presentation used in a year-4 teaching of the Sevenoaks Pathwork Transformation Program (May 23, 2011)
Praying with the Pathwork Lectures (Lectio Divina)
This Pathwork Spiritual Practice is derived from the sacred ancient practice called Lectio Divina. While this adaptation may not capture the deeper meaning of this ancient spiritual practice, it seems a useful way to engage the Pathwork lectures in a devotional way each day.
Note: for Pathwork quotes you can use for this practice, go to the Pathwork Store.

Three-Ray-Chart
This is a handy chart to illustrate how that which wants to manifest through our Divine Nature (Higher Selves) — Power (Drawn to Create), Love (Drawn to Connect), and Serenity (Drawn to Truth) in service to the Whole — gets distorted (manifesting as Self-Will, Fear, and Pride) when used in service to the separated ego. Because these Lower Self qualities don’t fit well in the world we become cultured and “nice” by putting on our Mask Self — the Pretense of our Divine Nature (Power Mask, Love Mask, and Serenity Mask). (Note that there are two versions of this chart — the second works better as a readable handout.)
Daily Review
This brief write-up and form presents a key Pathwork Practice of Daily Review as a tool to grow in consciousness and awareness as we go from living our life on auto-pilot, numb to our true feelings, and clueless as to why we are doing what we are doing to living our life from a place of Knowing intuitively the truth of who we are. It includes a quote from Pathwork Lecture # 17 The Call — Daily Review. Make copies of the last page and use this form to track your daily disharmonies in life.
Daily Motivation Review
This brief write-up and form presents Daily Motivation Review as a tool to grow in consciousness and awareness as we go from living our life on auto-pilot, numb to our true feelings, and clueless as to why we are doing what we are doing to living our life from a place of Knowing intuitively the truth of who we are. It includes a quote from Pathwork Lecture # 45 The Conflict Between Conscious and Unconscious Desires. Make copies of the last page and use this form to track your daily motivations for action or reaction.
Practical Ways of Dealing with Conflict (From Pathwork Lecture 203)
These concepts from Pathwork Lecture 203 are very useful for dealing with conflict, especially going into situations where one anticipates conflict. How could your patterns of pride, self-will, and fear come up? How could you choose to respond differently and thereby arrive at a new creative approach to a problematic and conflictual situation?

Pathwork Lecture 189 Self-Identification Determined Through Stages of Consciousness
Shows how confusion of our identity causes problems that we can recognize in areas of un-fulfillment in our lives. It also shows that we have choices as to how to resolve issues we face by using our mature healthy ego. (9/21/2010)
Pathwork Lecture 197: Energy and Consciousness in Distortion: Evil
This lecture shows how our NO to the Life Force derails our life, leading to suffering and un-fulfillment. Crises that are necessary to resolve these YES and NO inner forces in our life are part of our evolutionary development. (9/21/2010)
Pathwork Lecture 199: The Meaning of the Ego and Its Transcendence
This lecture shows how, as in the trauma of birth, we move through stages of growth that include feelings of safety, trauma, rebirth, and freedom. Our healthy ego is necessary for this process to move smoothly. (9/21/2010)

Pathwork Lecture 257: Aspects of the New Divine Influx: Part 3: Exposure
This final part of Lecture 257 speaks to the importance of openly sharing our inner feelings and our lower-self shortcomings and faults. It also speaks to the beautiful energy that flows out of connections where this deep sharing happens. (9/21/2010)
