Intuitive Living as a Spiritual Path
November 17, 7 p.m.
With Danelys Valcarcel
Intuition functions as an aspect of the soul and grows in proportion to the use we make of it. We will discuss the nature of intuition and gain practical advice on how to healthfully stimulate the functioning of this higher capacity in each of us so that it can pervade the whole of our daily lives.

The Power of Mindfulness
December 1, 7 p.m.
With John Cianciosi
Today mindfulness is taught to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being, but mindfulness itself is not a sufficient factor for the arising of peace and wisdom. We will discuss the conditions necessary to achieve a successful and beneficial mindfulness practice.

Centering Prayer
A Contemplative Path to Divine Union
December 8, 7 p.m.
With Bill Epperly, Ph.D.
The Christian contemplative tradition contains many hidden gems, such as the Centering Prayer, developed in the 1970s by three Trappist monks. The practice of Centering Prayer results in healing, transformation and, ultimately, Divine Union.

Sacred Sound Gong Bath™
Friday, December 2, 7 p.m.
Experience a dynamic meditative Gong Bath™ with the rising and falling rhythms, tonalities, and vibrations of an Earth Gong tuned to the sound of the primordial AUM - the Universal chord - the vibrational signature of our Mother Earth as she dances with our Sun. Overtones and harmonics touch the realms where emotional balance, cellular healing, energy completion, and spiritual awareness are realized.
