| Metatations™ on Metapsychiatry The MetaWay ~ All-Day Retreat Facilitated by Susan von Reichenbach |
Retreat Synopsis
Viewing mankind and the universe in a metaphysical
context, we will explore the idea that consciousness
is the sole reality ~ where all our problems find their
source and their solution: “Nothing can exist in the
body or out of the body that is not [first] in
consciousness. If we want to be healed when
problems, difficulties or sickness arise, then
consciousness has to be brought to an awareness of
its perfect harmony in God. God is our Life, and there
is no other Life but that One — and that Life is perfect
always.” (Thomas Hora, MD, Founder of
Metapsychiatry)
All “seekers and finders” are welcome. For
reservations, please send check or money order
payable to Susan von Reichenbach, P.O. Box 1024,
Old Lyme, CT 06371. Registration fees must be received
by October 1st, 2011.

GUEST HOUSE, CHESTER, CT
This beautifully renovated and comfortably appointed old
Connecticut Country Inn, aptly named for a poem by Rumi
(click here to read Rumi's poem The Guest House), is
surrounded by woods, hiking trails and natural beauty, offering
a perfect setting for contemplation and realization of spiritual
ideas. It is also close to many lovely villages on the water and
historical and cultural points of interest.
If you would like to explore the area ~ to hike, walk the beaches,
visit waterways, museums, local shops and restaurants ~ or just
enjoy a weekend getaway, TheMetaWay will furnish a list of local
inns or motels where visitors could stay overnight if they so
choose. Guest House also offers limited room availability for that
weekend. Email metaway@theMetaWay.com or watch the
Website for more information.
THE METAWAY RETREAT EVENT
The MetaWay~All Day Retreat will make use of Dr. Hora’s
comprehensive quotation as the centerpiece of the Gathering.
This succinct and profound expression of an idea, central to the
Meta process, serves as a launching pad that invites us to define
consciousness and to see, first and foremost, we are each “an
infinite consciousness in the Infinite Divine Consciousness and all
that is needed comes from that Consciousness” (Thomas Hora).
In this context, our life is eternal and indestructible. “End and
beginning are dreams….” (Bhagavad Gita—500 BC).
The central quotation of the Metatations' Retreat invites us to be
aware of the Law of Correspondence and the tendency of
thoughts to take visible form as our experience; to understand
that we live in a dualistic and imperfect worldly thought-system
simultaneously with a nondual and spiritual thought system, which
is always perfect, and to come to be able to discern the difference
between the real one and the illusory one; to see the dynamic of
healing through spiritual understanding as we are able to cleanse
our consciousness of troublesome worldly thought patterns and
align it with the Divine Thought-System where all solutions lie; to
discuss what constitutes effective prayer and grasp its inherent
power to bring healing and harmony to our experiences and
sicknesses; to be guided to knowledge of the Invisible Perfection
of the Infinite Life which allows for peace and assurance to
replace our worries, anxieties and fears; to offer spiritually mature
concepts of God, of Divine Reality, the Absolute, and a new
vocabulary to help us discern more clearly Its Immanent nature
and Its Infinite Goodness, so that we can trust It, lean on It, and
benefit from Its Presence and Its Guidance, becoming habituated
to dwelling in Its Perfect Life and enjoy the “good fruits” of this
awareness.
During this Retreat Day we will examine and elucidate the thought-
system and unique methodology of Metapsychiatry as
Dr. Hora taught it. It will endeavor to help us overcome the
problems, difficulties and sicknesses we experience in the human
passage, in order to be able to realize our already-existing
Oneness in God and the redemption and freedom it bestows on
us, as well as its by-products: an overall experience of well-being
and fulfillment and an harmonious quality of existence in the here
and now. The Meta approach is health-promoting and life-
enhancing. It will address our universally experienced concerns
through dialogue and open-minded receptivity to new
perspectives.
The intention of this Retreat is to awaken us all to higher
frequencies of awareness, unabashedly and irreverently looking
at what is real and what is illusion, what is finite and what is
Infinite, what is transient and what is eternal. The more
enlightened we can become through living in a spiritualized
thought-system, the more free we become of the limitations which
the ignorance of the worldly thought-systems impose on us and
the confusion and infirmities they create in our lives — and the
more palpable the possibility that we can live beyond the dream.

THE METAWAY RETREAT TEACHER
Susan von Reichenbach is a
spiritual guide, writer and teacher,
whose work is centered in
Metapsychiatry and called The
MetaWay. The goal of The
MetaWay is enlightenment — to
guide individuals to the realization of
the purpose of the human journey
and, thereby, to know the joyous
fulfillment of our individual divine
potential and the harmonious

and, thereby, to know the joyous
fulfillment of our individual divine
potential and the harmonious
existence this understanding offers us in the here and now.
Susan has enjoyed an international career as an opera and
concert singer and has performed in many of the world’s great
opera houses and concert halls to enthusiastic and critical
acclaim. During these years of performing and travel, she was
studying Metapsychiatry with its founder, Thomas Hora. Dr.
Hora was a seminal thinker, a pioneering researcher in
consciousness and metaphysics, in a practice that spanned
over fifty years until his passing in 1995. As her longtime
mentor and spiritual teacher, Dr. Hora inspired and encouraged
her to counsel and teach Metapsychiatry’s transformational
approach to healing.
“A disciple is not above her teacher…it is enough for a disciple to
[endeavor to] be like her teacher” (MT10: 24).
Since editing Dr. Hora's posthumously published book, a
collection of dialogues entitled, One Mind, she has written
various articles and published two books about Metapsychiatry's
unique system of thought, its redemptive ideas, inspired
insights, and its Prayers and Principles, calling these
MetaBooks. Fusing her knowledge of music and experience in a
musical career-path with her deep interest in Metapsychiatry,
Susan gives Lecture/Performances examining the sacred
purpose of music and its healing power, tracing it from its early
appearance in the Vedic Scriptures to present day super-string
theory, incorporating, as well, the fruits of her dialogues with
Dr. Hora about the divine nature of song and of singing.
Offering spiritual guidance in person or by telephone,
facilitating classes and leading workshops, Susan calls her
work The MetaWay. Susan brings the compassionate wisdom
of this metaphysical approach to a prison ministry at a
Connecticut state correctional institution, where she teaches
receptive inmates. She also presents concerts at Hospice where
she uses the song platform to teach that real Life is
unstoppable — a "Cosmic Song" — an "unbroken wholeness
in flowing movement" (physicist David Bohm) from which we can
never be separated and which is uninterrupted by the
experience of dying.
A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, Susan is grateful to
have had the opportunity for tutorial studies with Joseph
Campbell, an earlier and influential mentor (author of The Hero
with a Thousand Faces, The Power of Myth, and other treatises
on mythology), which gave her a foundation in cultivating insight
into the meaning of myths, metaphors and parables and helped
her to discern archetypal ideas operating in the race
consciousness, thus awakening in her an interest to “see” and
interpret the “unseen.”
