Higher Consciousness Unveiled
Free Workshop with Rachael Simmelmann
Saturday, September 6 | 11 – 12.30pm | Qi Crystals, Melbourne

What does it truly mean to expand your consciousness—and why can this process sometimes feel so challenging?

This workshop offers an open, explorative look at the path of spiritual and conscious growth, emphasizing that it’s a personal journey with unique experiences. We’ll explore the different stages or “levels” of awareness as described by various traditions, helping participants recognize their own signs of expansion.

Key Topics Covered:

  • What does it mean to expand consciousness? A gentle exploration of the concept, inviting participants to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions.
  • Stages or “levels” of awareness: An overview of how different traditions describe the evolution of consciousness, from everyday perception to higher states.
  • Signs of expansion: How to recognize subtle and dramatic shifts—changes in self-view, how you relate to others, and your understanding of the world.
  • Understanding the challenges: Explaining that before reaching a new level, many experience triggers, hardship, or inner crises—often viewed as necessary parts of growth.
  • The “dark night of the soul”: Discussing this recurring phase, especially at higher levels—feeling disconnected from Source, emotionally raw, or weighed down—and its vital role in spiritual evolution.

Participants will learn that these challenges are natural and often essential for releasing what no longer serves and proving readiness for the next stage of growth.
