The Divine Feminine: Following Your Intuition Thursday, October 29 • 7:30 p.m. Suggested Donation: $25 In Eastern philosophy, the feminine aspect represents the parts of ourselves that are intuitive and receptive in nature. In our Western society, these aspects are sometimes unknown, overlooked, and undervalued, as compared to the well-practiced masculine aspects of reasoning and logic. The divine feminine is an integral tool that each person (man or woman) has in order to make decisions, to access new ideas, and to create a life filled with wisdom, knowledge, and truth. This seminar will give you an experience of the workings of the divine feminine within yourself.

Christian Mysticism Seminar Cost: $10 pre-registered; $15 at the door All who have sought to move beyond dogma and concepts into a direct experience of God and God's love are known as mystics. The word "mystical" refers to "a spiritual reality not apparent to the senses or intelligence ... stemming from direct communion with God." Feeling God, seeing God, and knowing God cannot be accomplished by belief alone. A direct, personal experience of God is what every mystic seeks to attain. A mystic meditates and prays and strives to be in close relationship with God throughout the day and throughout their life. Christian mysticism is the process of coming into the experience of God at the center of one's being, under the teachings of Jesus and Mother Mary. Deep in that holy place within, a mystic finds complete peace, joy, light, and love. Come to this seminar to learn how to go deeper and find out what your soul needs. Creating Your Life Using the Laws of the Universe October 3 Cost: $1o pre-registered; $15 at the door Some of us travel through life knowing we are in charge of our destiny, and that everything in our life is there by our choice. We call ourselves "co-creators." Many people don't want to take such responsibility for their lives and would rather blame others for their situation. Co-creators know, however, that when you take on the responsibility for your life, then you get all the power to change it - to change it into exactly what you want it to be! So what do you want? A relationship, money, weight loss? Most people do. Ironically, however, once we attain these things we often find that they don't bring the peace and happiness we were expecting. Why is that? Because what we are really seeking in these outer things is actually only satisfied by something much deeper, something inside. It is a real connection to Divine Love that brings all peace, contentment, and happiness. Once we are connected to this Source, then our lives become truly satisfying. In this seminar you will learn how to use the laws of the universe for your highest good and how to make a connection to the Divine that will bring the fulfillment you have always been seeking. Come and learn how to be a conscious co-creator - and become empowered to change your life! Mystical Interpretation of the Christmas Story Cost: $10 pre-registered; $15 at the door If you desire a more meaningful Christmas this year, join us and start the season with an in-depth look at the inner meaning of Christmas and how you can experience a truly spiritual holy season. Mystics interpret all the occurrences of Jesus and Mary's lives not only as literal events but as symbolic steps along the spiritual path. In the Christmas story, Jesus and Mary represent specific aspects of us, as do Joseph, the wise men, the shepherds, the star, the stable animals and the stable itself. Join us for this mystical interpretation of the Christmas story and deepen your appreciation for the greatest gift ever given to humanity. |
