Waking the Yin Warrior A Guide to Enlightened Living Through Love in Action with Brad Laughlin A Six-Session Virtual Course January 7-24, 2018 Sundays 9-11am US Pacific Time Wednesdays 6-8pm US Pacific Time
• Would you dare to choose a life defined by love? • Are you called to evolve beyond the roles of victim and tyrant? • Is it time for you to replace meaningless intensity with balanced purpose? Humanity is at the turning of a Great Age. We are moving from a patriarchal paradigm into a new paradigm of heart-centeredness and love. For millennia, the accelerating domination of masculine over feminine energy has brought us to where we are now: on the brink of collapse. As the old cycle dies and the new one is birthed, we are all plunged into unknown territories and grapple with the massive changes within and around us. Despite the challenges, the crumbling of the patriarchal structures into chaos is a blessing in disguise. It clears the path for a new way of being in the world. Now, more than ever, we are all receiving a universal invitation to return to wholeness, to live in love and to balance the yin and yang within us. A new archetype is emerging to help us navigate this path, personally and collectively – the archetype of the Yin Warrior.
What is a Yin Warrior? The new era requires a new kind of hero – a new type of warrior. The stereotypical warrior of the dying patriarchal system is associated primarily with the yang or masculine. The feminine or yin qualities are not normally linked to the warrior archetype. Coupling the two is an intentional paradox which invites further exploration. In our modern yang-fixated culture, yin implies powerlessness, subservience and inferiority. This misperception is far from the truth. Like a stored treasure, yin has its own great power.
Nothing in the world
is as soft and yielding as water. Yet for dissolving the hard
and inflexible,
nothing can surpass it.
—The Tao Te Ching
Inherently implying balance between yin and yang, a Yin Warrior is anyone—man or woman—who is on a conscious journey of finding inner balance and of opening the heart, yet it goes beyond that. It challenges stereotypical beliefs about gender roles and what it means to be a man or woman who honors, protects and nurtures the feminine—or yin—side. Both men and women on the path of Self-discovery are learning to balance and integrate yin and yang; however, the Yin Warrior uses yang energy in support of the yin principle to create love in the world. This turns millennia of tradition on its head. Becoming a Yin Warrior is about putting love into action. Yin Warriors choose to serve the Earth, others, animals or the environment with an open, loving heart. I invite you to join me: Awaken to your Yin Warrior and step fully into your power to love! Together we will watch the world transform.

Course Outline: Although a general outline is offered here, the course will be organic, collaborative and interactive. Participants are intrinsic to the structure, and the content will incorporate your questions and feedback to ensure you receive exactly what you need in order to awaken your Yin Warrior. The New Paradigm—At this pivotal moment in human evolution, we are moving out of a system characterized by imbalances and the abuse of power into a new paradigm of heart-centered consciousness. By finding balance between the masculine and feminine, between the mind and the heart and between spirit and matter, we move from the old paradigm to the new. Balancing polarities opens up a new world within and around us where qualities of the heart, such as tolerance, respect, compassion, love, forgiveness, peace, non-violence, generosity, gratitude and wisdom, are genuinely valued. What Is a Yin Warrior?—The new paradigm invites men and women to use their yang/masculine energy and courageous, warrior spirits to support the yin/feminine—within themselves and in the world. This is a path of love in action. In this class we unpack the details of who and what the Yin Warrior is, explore why this new archetype is needed and examine examples of Yin Warriors. Yin Warriors move beyond the roles of victim and tyrant and take responsibility for their own reality, stepping into the power of love. The Power of the Yin Warrior—The Yin Warrior’s power is centered in the heart, and when harnessed, it puts love into action. We explore the Yin Warrior’s proper use of power versus the abuse of power expressed in the old paradigm of victims and tyrants. We examine how Yin Warriors clear limiting patterns and beliefs that keep them trapped in the old paradigm and how they find their true power and replenish it in daily life. The Path of Love—In this class we explore the concept that there is nothing but love. The new paradigm of the heart calls for action from the heart. Yin Warriors hear the whisper of the heart, trust what they hear and move ever more into their hearts. We focus on forgiving betrayals and moving beyond victim consciousness. The Yin Warrior practices living in love and ultimately opens up to becoming love itself. Money, Work and Purpose for the Yin Warrior— Because there is no separation between our spiritual journey and our worldly life, the course grounds the concepts into practical, daily life—so that we are able to live what we learn. Here we examine how a Yin Warrior applies the principles of the heart and masculinefeminine balance to money, work and purpose in life. Relationships and Sexuality of the Yin Warrior—Following on from the previous class, we ground the course’s concepts in practical ways—exploring how a Yin Warrior applies the principles of the heart and masculine-feminine balance to relationships, intimacy and sexuality.
