We Are What we Eat & Drink - Michael Schmidt of Glencolton Farms

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:40:00 -0800

Michael Schmidt of Glencolton Farms in Ontario was in a battle with government health officials for the life of his sustainable farm. This month, January 26, 2009, he goes to trial on 20 criminal counts. His crime? Providing raw milk to the shareholders in his farm.

He delivers this milk once a week and has been doing so since 1994. On Nov. 21, 2006 his farm was raided, in the style of a drug bust, with 20 armed men from the Ministry of Natural Resources. They held him and his co-workers in confinement for nearly 7 hours, if someone needed a washroom an officer went with them and stood outside the door until they came back out and then escorted them back to the confinement area. The driveway was blocked by police cars so no one was able to leave, even though in court today the Ministry officials maintained that the farm people were free to go during that time. The trial is expected to go on for the next 6 days. The cow share owners and Michael maintain that the right to choose the food they eat is guaranteed by the Canadian Constitution, and the second half of the trial will focus on this issue. The families maintain that their health has much improved since drinking raw milk and consuming the products that can be made out of raw milk. None of them have ever been sick in all the years since 1994;
The unpasteurized saga of the Durham farmer charged with distributing raw milk a year ago ended Jan 26th 2010 when a Newmarket court found him not guilty of 19 charges.
Justice of the Peace Paul Kowarsky ruled that 55-year-old Michael Schmidt?s cow co-op does not violate Ontario?s public health or milk-marketing regulations. While it is legal to consume raw milk, selling or distributing it is not. Schmidt, who represented himself, argues that since people buy shares of the farm and pay maintenance fees in exchange for the milk, he?s technically not selling the milk.
Schmidt?s supporters surrounded him when he walked out of the courthouse and was handed a glass of his own milk to celebrate. ?We want to be responsible for our food,? he told the Star. ?Standing up for basic rights is a moral obligation, and that?s what we did. I could not have done this alone.? The court upheld current legislation, though it will be interesting to read the next chapter in this straight-from-the-earth au naturel food tale.

The distinguished Saskatchewan activist farmer Percy Schmeiser will give a talk on

"Food Safety , GMO's and Environmental Law"

at Vancouver Unity Church, 5840 Oak st, on Saturday,February 6. Doors open at 7PM

We will also be auctioning off some gift certificates generously donated by Mountain Equipment Coop to support the Legal defense funds of Percy Schmeiser and On the Range Farms , a private Raw Dairy cooperative in Chilliwack that is currently in the midst of a court challenge from the Fraser Valley Health authority.

2010: An Astrological Overview with Rose Marcus

Wednesday, January 20th on Conscious Living Radio

2010 delivers a catapulting stellar backdrop that is similar to the revolutionary sixties and fate-stacked 1930?s. In a few short years we will have undergone massive restructuring, not only globally, but in our individual lives too. Radical change lies ahead for each and every one of us. 2010 will prove to be a pivotal, altered-reality, forward-thrust year. When are we likely to see the year?s peaks and valleys? How can we decipher what is best for our individual lives? How can we synchronize with the universal energies and harness the stars for our ultimate benefit? In other words, what can we do to effectively prepare ourselves for the changes and challenges that lie ahead? Rose addresses these questions through the lens of Evolutionary Astrology.

Evolutionary Astrology studies the past lifetime dynamics that have brought the individual to present circumstances and level of personal development. By understanding the past and how far one has come, one can learn how to best facilitate the soul?s intended growth for the current life.

He is a farmer from Bruno, Saskatchewan Canada whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's Round-Up Ready Canola. Monsanto's position was that it didn't matter whether Schmeiser knew or not that his canola field was contaminated with the Roundup Ready gene, or whether or not he took advantage of the technology (he didn't); that he must pay Monsanto their Technology Fee of $15./acre. The Supreme Court of Canada agreed with Schmeiser, ruling that he didn't have to pay Monsanto anything.. .....full story

THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT - Michael Armstrong & Josef Tyls

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:00:00 -0800

Michael Armstrong
Long-time student of "catastrophism," and lecturer on the Electric Universe, he is publisher/producer of video and newsletter work on the science of catastrophics and the Electric Universe.

THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT

There are no ?black holes?, there is no ?dark matter?, comets are not ?dirty snowballs?, the sun is not a ?nuclear furnace?, and the origins of world mythology are not primitive invention but can be directly linked to deep space exploration and leading-edge experiments in plasma physics. Recent discoveries in space have amazed and perplexed scientists. Current popular theories in the sciences can neither predict nor explain the phenomena we are now observing. In THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT, American mythologist David Talbott and Australian physicist Wallace Thornhill and their associates propose a new theory which can both predict and explain these phenomena. 5,000 year old rock art, the origins of world mythology, planetary history, spectacular nebular forms in deep space, and high energy electric discharges in the plasma laboratory ? all are inextricably linked by the Electric Model. In an extraordinary synthesis of the scientific disciplines THE THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT presents us with an astonishing new perspective on ancient history and leading-edge astronomy. More Info

Josef Tyls III M.Sc. Ph.D. Industrial Engineer was born in the Czech Republic and became a Canadian citizen in 1972 . He began his technical education while still in high school attending specialty courses surrounding industrial education, focusing on metal fabrication, mechanics and electronics. His project majors were the design and development of a direct drive super charger for small engine applications and high fidelity audio monitors, for which he received top marks in his classes.
During his early career he attended specialized welding classes and electronics education classes at Vancouver?s Vocation Institute of Technology earning top marks.

In 1985 undertaking a private research project funded by his family, Josef developed a unique high definition three-dimensional holographic audio system specifically designed for healing purposes. By 1992 Josef Tyls was recruited by Dr. Carlos Fenton Mason D.Sc. of Mato Labs to design and engineer medical ozone generation systems capable of continuous use without degradation. The system designed and developed was then submitted as his project thesis of the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.

In 1994 Josef Tyls became heavily involved with research surrounding the efficacy of ozonation for potable water processing while investigating solutions to GVRD?s water crisis. It was during this research that he developed the hyper oxygenation process that became the fundamental technology platform for his company ?Vancouver Oxygen research Technologies Ltd.?, which was licensed and still in use by the Avani Water Corporation in Burnaby B.C. The commercial system once tested and confirmed was utilized as the major project submitted for his dissertation for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering in 1998. In 1997 Josef Tyls became a member of the Occidental Institute Research Foundation and The Institute of the Noetic Sciences. Josef has been involved with systems technology design throughout his working career and has successfully brought to market many of the technologies for nearly 30 years. His field of expertise covers all aspects of industrial engineering, electronics design and development, biology and bio-oxidative medicine, electro-medicine, water processing, and high definition audio systems used for healing. His deep understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and its interrelationship with human consciousness is the basis of many of his unique technologies. The list of mentors, which Josef has studied and developed his technologies from: Dr. Nicola Tesla, Victor Schauberger, John Worrell Keely, Dr. Walter Russell, and many other pioneers of quantum physics.

What is GDNFO all about?

GDNFO intends to communicate the scientific and other compelling evidence that we are all connected as one and provide ways in which all people can apply this universal truth to bring about individual, global transformation, and peace. We believe that together with Communication, Connection, Collaboration and Compassion, we can visualize and create a positive future for ourselves and the world.

John Wong is an integrator of science, ancient wisdom, and spirituality, together with his own personal insights (SAWSI). After 33 years of engineering as an owner, principal, and partner, he finally gave up his lucrative career to study the intersections of these three main disciplines in order to bridge the new and the old, the west and the east, and outer and the inner realities. The purpose is to study and to understand the human civilization and its conditions and progress and how we can promote peace and empowerment to overcome the challenges in the 21st century. Moreover, how can we recover ecological harmony in our fragile planet earth while keeping the inherent industrialization and globalization in balance? John believes that the answers lie in the intersections of science, ancient wisdom, and spirituality. Science has made quantum leaps in understanding our physical universe. Ancient wisdom and spirituality can offer insights into the unseen world and the question why, and how human civilization is at a crossroad to enter another paradigm shift to bring us into a more collaborative, peaceful unity in diversity paradigm. Unfortunately, many people are unawakened to this possibility that is within our grasp. The whole premise of John?s work is one of sacrifice, service, and to improve the human condition by making a difference in what matters. During his 5 years of retirement, he has dedicated full time in researching and collecting relevant information, interacting with many people, and probing deeply into metaphysical and existential questions to find hidden answers. He summarized many complex concepts into simple digestible bits for his 10 Virtual Study Groups (VSG) as a way to educate whoever wants to listen so that a critical mass can make this awakening event horizon a reality. His meditation and hikes in the woods give him the clarity he needs to distil massive information into cogent and coherent ?gems? for those who have less time. John has written hundreds of essays, some of which has been published in local websites, newspapers, and magazines. GDNFO is a perfect vehicle to take the VSG to the next level and reaching people worldwide. The accumulated knowledge and wisdom, and the connections made over the years are a boon to its mission. Acting on our intentions can and will make a difference in this world. John graduated from the University of British Columbia in Applied Science (Engineering). He is married with 4 children and lives in West Vancouver, B. C., Canada.

After a 22 year career with EDS Corporation, during that time, Fortune 500?s #1 Information Technology (IT) Services company, Kina Merdinian brings her foundation of skills and knowledge from the corporate world to this 501(c) (3). Her background includes project management, new business development, business process improvements, marketing, communications, event planning, curriculum design, development and training and much more. Throughout her life, Kina Merdinian, has been known to many colleagues, family and friends as their ?Connector? ? a resource for guidance and brainstorming on any number of diverse subjects. Now she has been drawn to share and connect the world ?with more than just a great plumber, wellness practitioner, job lead, marketing strategy, etc.? She intended to explore and discover what would be the most important knowledge to share with everyone that would enhance their lives and make all of their respective projects and aspirations more successful and fulfilling. Beginning with her longtime interest in science and its foundation in biology at the University of Virginia--she has continued over the years to deepen this inquiry currently attending science conferences regularly, and learning about the latest scientific discoveries and corroborations with ancient knowledge. Through her avid interest, she then began to discover through the teachings of many scientists and other luminaries the fascinating mountain of evidence of a remarkable collaboration between credible science, ancient wisdom and spirituality and how it proves the universal interconnectedness of all things. She was awakened to the implications of that in her life and for all. For the last two years, before co-founding GDNFO in August of 2008, she has been working with other non-profits and doing pro-bono consulting work, and continuing her study and gathering of ?good information? to bring to you.

HEAR THE WISDOM OF CHILDREN - Eliza MADA Dalian

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Eliza MADA Dalian is a powerful new voice in the field of spirituality, energy medicine, and personal transformation. She is a multi award-winning author, mystic, spiritual guide, and master-healer. Born in Armenia, she immigrated to Canada in 1976 (at age 24) where she soon came across the teachings of the twentieth-century mystics Georges Gurdjieff and Osho. Deeply affected by their words, she left behind her training in education and architecture and devoted herself to the search for truth and spiritual enlightenment. Years of focused and committed meditation blessed her with several profound experiences, which led to an ultimate awakening experience at age 33. At this time, she discovered first-hand the truth all awakened people point to: we are not our body, mind, pain, and suffering but rather a manifestation of Love, Consciousness, and Cosmic Joy. This profound and life-altering experience took her some years to integrate into the ordinary world of day-to-day life. In 1996, MADA developed a groundbreaking new healing method ? DHM (Dalian Healing Method) ? to help people quickly and effortlessly transform their psychological and physical pain and suffering into health and consciousness.

What sets Mada apart from other spiritual teachers is that she is also a practicing hands-on healer. What sets her apart from other healers is that she is not primarily concerned with fixing symptoms but rather with helping people heal from unconsciousness into consciousness. Mada has dedicated her life to helping others on their journey towards healing and awakening. She travels internationally, offering workshops, healing sessions, and retreats, to individuals, children, and organizations. MADA lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Sacred Geometry and Coherent Emotion - Dan Winter

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Dan Winter's background is as multi-faceted as his viewpoint. Graduating with honors from the University of Detroit, Dan pursued graduate studies in psychophysiology and the origin of languages. In addition to his academic background, he has worked as a Systems Analyst with IBM, an industrial metallurgist and crystallographer. He has undertaken many diverse studies, from quantum physics to modeling at the MIT space lab to developing the early biofeedback prototype equipment as Dr. Albert Axe's prot?g?. Widely traveled, Dan has sojourned to study at the Gurdjieff School of sacred gymnastics, in Florence with Buckminster Fuller, the Gizah pyramids, Israel, the Andes and at Findhorn.

Dan is an accomplished keyboard artist, and was once a church organist and choir director, all before reaching high school. He delights in playing computer keyboard music using sonic samples taken from biological events -- heart sounds, whale and dolphin songs, etc. His creative side emerges as playfulness with ideas which can be shared at different levels.
In the 1980's, he founded an alternative newspaper entitled the "Network of Light". He established a learning center experiment in collective bio-harmony called "Crystal Hill Farm."

At Crystal Hill, Dan's extensive network grew as he hosted conferences with a prolific list of presenters on varied topics from sacred geometry to sustainable ecosystems. Through the years, Dan has lectured on the evolution of consciousness, sacred geometry and coherent emotion at many national and international conferences. The effect of coherent ordering of the Heart harmonics during the feeling of compassion was measured replicably effecting the braiding/ the programming of DNA.

The "Heart Beat Earth Project" for global coherence is a dream which Dan believes can "teach self awareness" using the internet as a tool. Through the use of a biofeedback devise connected to a home computer, the heartbeat at the moment of compassion registers a specific frequency signature that possesses very special properties. This frequency, or wave, can add and multiply itself infinitely and non-destructively, and can be experienced outside oneself. His experiments with humans sending love to trees have shown that the trees respond at a distance by entraining and aligning in phase to the heart, capacitively, at moments of peak emotion. This indeed tends to confirm that our choices to FEEL coherently may be our best leverage on fabricating ecoystems, perhaps ultimately surpassing the strength of bulldozers in shaping our world!

As thousands of hearts are connected, a database records and displays heartbeats registering the signature for compassion (via the Internet). By focusing our collective intention through compassion around the planet, the evidence suggests many possibilities, such as atmospheric repair and stabilization. This concept demonstrates the collective power of how hearts entrained with the feeling of compassion can reshape our world, a truly empowering phenomenon and perhaps a turning point in our conscious evolution.

Dan draws on many sources, including science, mythology, popular culture, and even channeled information, looking for ideas about the deep connectedness of all things and how the profound nature of our oneness can be approached from architecture or art, math or biology, electronics/computers or myth. With a powerful sense of the bridges between worlds, Dan has a talent for both poetry and rigor in his language and his twinkling eyes energy.

Currently, Dan is a consultant on multimedia and virtual reality computer animation projects and travels and lectures around the world. He has produced over 50 videotapes on numerous subjects.

The Forbidden Story of Christmas & The Hidden Years of Jesus

If you think modern marketing and commercialism has adulterated the message of Christmas, it is nothing in comparison to the catastrophic ruination of the true message that was wrought long ago. In this weekend Seminar we will look at the real significance of the Feast of Christmas and how it has, from earliest Christian history, been disrobed of its powerful significance for human evolution and empowerment.

No one can argue against the fact that the birth of Jesus was a pivotal point in human history. What we often don?t realize is that those times into which he was born were very similar to our own in the degree to which people had given away their power to religious organizations, or other groups claiming to offer an external form of redemption. Into those times, Jesus came to blaze a trail for all people to follow. His ideal was to show how the power that is within every man and woman could be drawn forth, and how they could manifest a life of abundance, joy, and freedom from tyranny, want and disease. His purpose was never to be a suffering savior who died to appease the anger of a vengeful God.

How did he do what he did; where did the message come from, and what about all those miracles he performed? When we try to answer those questions we soon come to realize that ninety per cent of the life of Jesus is actually missing from the New Testament. In this weekend Seminar we will look at those ?hidden years? of Jesus, particularly the eighteen year period between the ages of twelve and thirty, and what he experienced then in Egypt, India and Tibet.
We will examine how this journey molded the message he came to preach in Israel, which culminated in his great saying to all who would follow him down the ages: ?You will do all the miracles that I do, and greater than these will you do.? (Gospel of St. John, Chapter 14). We will look at where this is or is not happening among those who claim to follow him today, and what it tells us about how badly misunderstood that message has become.

The turn of events shortly after he finished his public ministry turned his message into something very different from what he had intended. We will dissect what went wrong and identify what we can we do to rectify matters. Given the multitude of crises facing the world today, it was never more crucial to begin to bring forth the remarkable abilities that lie hidden and dormant within us all which were at the core of his message.

During Saturday Lecture we will have Special Guest Singer - Denise Hagan Singing the "Christ Consciousness" and other amazing songs.

Sonic Temple with the Golden Mathematics, Fractal Geometry & Sacred Geometry - Josef Tyls

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:30:00 -0800

Josef Tyls III M.Sc. Ph.D. Industrial Engineer was born in the Czech Republic and became a Canadian citizen in 1972 . He began his technical education while still in high school attending specialty courses surrounding industrial education, focusing on metal fabrication, mechanics and electronics. His project majors were the design and development of a direct drive super charger for small engine applications and high fidelity audio monitors, for which he received top marks in his classes. During his early career he attended specialized welding classes and electronics education classes at Vancouver?s Vocation Institute of Technology earning top marks.

In 1985 undertaking a private research project funded by his family, Josef developed a unique high definition three-dimensional holographic audio system specifically designed for healing purposes. By 1992 Josef Tyls was recruited by Dr. Carlos Fenton Mason D.Sc. of Mato Labs to design and engineer medical ozone generation systems capable of continuous use without degradation. The system designed and developed was then submitted as his project thesis of the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.

In 1994 Josef Tyls became heavily involved with research surrounding the efficacy of ozonation for potable water processing while investigating solutions to GVRD?s water crisis. It was during this research that he developed the hyper oxygenation process that became the fundamental technology platform for his company ?Vancouver Oxygen research Technologies Ltd.?, which was licensed and still in use by the Avani Water Corporation in Burnaby B.C. The commercial system once tested and confirmed was utilized as the major project submitted for his dissertation for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Industrial Engineering in 1998. In 1997 Josef Tyls became a member of the Occidental Institute Research Foundation and The Institute of the Noetic Sciences.

Josef has been involved with systems technology design throughout his working career and has successfully brought to market many of the technologies for nearly 30 years. His field of expertise covers all aspects of industrial engineering, electronics design and development, biology and bio-oxidative medicine, electro-medicine, water processing, and high definition audio systems used for healing. His deep understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and its interrelationship with human consciousness is the basis of many of his unique technologies. The list of mentors, which Josef has studied and developed his technologies from: Dr. Nicola Tesla, Victor Schauberger, John Worrell Keely, Dr. Walter Russell, and many other pioneers of quantum physics.

Changing ones vibration in these times of change and reading Ackashic Records - Asolaria Liberalis

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Asolaria Liberalis is an ackashic researcher, healing arts practitioner (past life regression, emotional healing and soul retrieval), she is an artist and has been painting angels since she was little.
Asolaria has been conducting extensive research since year 2000 within the ackashic records. When she was in China something happened to her right on the brink of the new year 2000. She found that her body was perfectly aligned and was able to read ackashic records. Since then she has been studying patterns, evolution and the human system. She encourages everyone to learn how to read ackashic records through a simple technique called kinesiology or muscle testing because the physical body has the information of our past and the universe itself. The higher self has the greater truth and can also be consulted through kinesiology or muscle testing. We can come up with many solutions as a race in these times of global change.

She mentions that the information she found is very interesting. She shares information that can help this civilization come to a new level of sustainability by recognizing some of the information that is prevalent in our DNA. Her research confirms that the DNA/brain has been altered from its original divine intent in human beings and animals from a nonbenevolent alien race. She suggests according to her research the alterations that were made on the DNA are aging, disease, dysfunction, subservience to a monetary system and using less than 10% of brainpower. The DNA/brain alterations also makes us comply on an energetic level to non benevolent leaders to create war and an unintegral social system. Even if we do not vote and have found a peaceful life, we still comply on an energetic level because the DNA has been altered.

She also suggests that crystal children can have some solutions in these times of global changes because they come from benevolent systems and know of better social systems. According to her research crystal children are young and old and are not just coming in. They are being recognized right now in this time of evolution, yet it is nothing new. You might be a crystal child; the qualities are not being able to comply with oppressive circumstances, wanting to change the system for the better all the time, wanting to help this civilization in some special way. Asolaria has invented a crystal bracelet that has fifth dimensional vibrations that is called ?Aliberalis bracelets? with the help of the angels in order to deactivate the alterations of the DNA/brain. The bracelet does more they can clear belief systems and diseases. After wearing the bracelet for two months a person is no longer altered in the DNA (it is the first stage) and is no longer a partner with non benevolent leaders. Aging and predisposed diseases are also deactivated. Through kinesiology one can detect this information to be true.

More information can be found on her website: www.ibelieveinangelsecoshop.com click on Aliberalis Sanctuary and then click on fifth dimensional crystals then Aliberalis bracelets. Her new website that will present a sustainable social system is called www.aliberalis.com (it will be up in about two months from November 2009)

Sacred Geometry - Ivan Rados

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:40:00 -0800

IVAN RADOS

Ivan Rados? body (in his own words) was born in Former Yugoslavia. He is an established and internationally recognized artist, an energy healer and a contemporary spiritual guide and teacher; the author of the acclaimed book Create Yourself ? Secrets of Self Discovery & Healing with Sacred Geometry, published in Canada 2006, and The Transparent Man - the Last Anti-manifesto about Transcendental Art, published in UK in 1994.

Ivan was a highly rated member of an international art community at Dean Clough, Halifax, UK from 1992 to 2001. His art is part of many European museums and private collections around the world.

His friends and family have always been aware of Ivan?s extraordinary gift of healing which he has always generously shared with them. But Ivan knew that, although he had spiritually evolved at a very young age, he needed to heal another aspect of his being - his emotional wounds, before he could offer his wisdom to the world. Using art to search through his own soul, and to assist others in that process, Ivan?s healing process is a story about courage, determination and completion. It was not until he moved to Canada, that Ivan went through a profound spiritual transmutation that disintegrated his old identity, altering his perception of himself and the reality he was creating. He now uses his art (the Sacred Geometry) solely in the process of healing and spiritual guidance.

While Ivan claims he heals no-one; he merely helps people heal themselves by the power of ?Infinite Consciousness?, his healing journey reads like a book of miracles. He modestly calls them ?ordinarinesses?. Those ?touched? by him experience anything but ordinariness. They have healed from many diseases & ailments and many continue seeing Ivan for ongoing spiritual guidance, growth and expansion of their consciousness.

Ivan Rados is not associated with any particular healing modularity and methodology, spiritual movement, religion or tradition. Ivan?s deep and authentic rooting in the unknown provides him the insight and ability to be of great service to the evolution of Consciousness in these most transformative of times. Ivan travels extensively, taking his knowingness throughout the world, teaching and facilitating classes, seminars and profoundly empowering healing/spiritual retreats. He has lived in Vancouver, Canada, since 2001.

Synchronicity Magazine and Crossing the Event Horizon - Michael Hey & Richard Woodhurst

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Michael Hey is a Vancouver writer and filmmaker. In January of 2008, he became an emissary for the Resonance Project. As an emissary, Michael has been giving presentations of Nassim Haramein's Unification Theory.

While living in Japan in 1995, Michael began to practice daily zazen meditation. Before leaving Japan, he spent a week meditating at a Zen monastery. "Sesshin" provided him with a powerful direct experience of the oneness of all things. Michael felt that any unified theory of physics would be incomplete if it did not address this profound interconnectedness.

When Michael discovered Mr. Haramein's work through one of his DVD's, he experienced a strong visceral reaction. His desire to learn more led him naturally to Hawai'i and participation in the emissary program.

Michael Hey will be presenting all four DVD's of Nassim Haramein's eight hour presentation of "Crossing the Event Horizon" (over four weeks) with discussion to follow.

"Crossing the Event Horizon"

Each evening will start with the screening of one DVD from 7 PM to 9 PM followed by discussion and sharing of music and art from 9 PM until 10 PM. The intention behind these presentations is to build community around Unification Theory. Participants are encouraged to plan to attend all four events, or at least, not to miss the first one unless they are already familiar with the basic principles of the theory - however this is not an absolute requirement. Anyone is welcome to participate on any night.

The schedule is as follows:

DVD 1: Thursday, November 5, 7 PM - 10 PM - "The Geometry of Spacetime - Unification Theory explained in layman's terms"

DVD 2: Thursday, November 12, 7 PM - 10 PM - From Crop Circles to Nebulas - fundamental geometry in the world around us"

DVD 3: Thursday, November 19, 7 PM - 10 PM - "Wisdom of the Ancients - re-examining the past"

DVD 4: Thursday, November 26, 7 PM - 10 PM - "From the Tetragrammaton to the Tree of Life - unraveling the mystery"

The location is: Unity of Vancouver, 5840 Oak Street. Please RSVP Karen Elkins: (604) 263-4358 / (604) 551-1517 (cell) or email kelkins@telus.net Suggested donations $5-10 to cover rental of the space.

About "Crossing the Event Horizon":

Nassim Haramein is a physicist whose Unification Theory turns much of our conventional physics on its head. His work has the potential to shift the current paradigm to such an extent that the mainstream physics community has been slow (over the past fifteen years) to embrace the theory. But things are changing. Many phenomena predicted by the theory are being confirmed and earlier this year, Haramein won the prestigious best paper award at the University of Liege in Belgium. Apart from publishing mathematical papers, Haramein has also spent a lot of time presenting his ideas to ordinary people. Interestingly, many people who have no physics background find themselves drawn to this work. I have attended presentations by Haramein where people cried because the concepts he presented made so much sense to them. His theory is elegant and in a way, very simple. Over the years his talk developed into an eight hour multi-media presentation called "Crossing the Event Horizon". This can be ordered directly from the Resonance Project website for $84. For additional information about the theory you can visit: http://theresonanceproject.org

While the material itself is not difficult, it does lend itself towards watching in a group. Seeing this for the first time usually generates questions. Furthermore, the theory has profound implications for the evolution of humanity, our spiritual potential and for what may lie ahead in this fascinating and intense time. This is something that is best shared, discussed and processed with other people - and it's FUN. My suggestion for anyone who is completely new to unification theory is to attend the first screening in which the basic principles of the theory are outlined in layman's terms. The other three evenings will be full of surprises (guaranteed) but if you the main idea doesn't resonate with you, then you probably don't have to see the rest. The screening and discussion on November 5 will be very good to get the basic idea and to decide whether or not you'd like to learn more.

Vancouver�s InterSpiritual Sacred Dance Festival

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Vancouver?s InterSpiritual Sacred Dance Festival?a day-long community event on November 7, 2009? invites you to celebrate the diversity of Sacred Movement Practices at its first annual event. Included in the day?s activities are ceremony, lunch, participatory workshops, a zikr, and an evening performance and dance. Sacred Dance Practices included are First Nations, Hindu, Sufi, Christian, Jewish, Daoist, Hawaiian Hula, African, and Earth-based. All ages and spiritual paths are welcome. (You?ll find more specifics at the end of this article.)

Born from the heart of Tannis Hugill?Performer, Choreographer, and Dance Movement Therapist, whose career spans thirty+ years and extends from New York City to San Francisco?this festival is about nurturing understanding and acceptance of the many ways humans articulate, through movement, their relationship to themselves and with the Divine. It is also about multi-faith acceptance of diversity through direct experience in our bodies.

As we acknowledge our bodies? beauty and capacity to be in harmonic resonance while dancing with each other in sacred space, we are gifted with an opportunity to learn about, appreciate, and accept each other?s unique practice, tradition, and relationship to the Divine. Explicit and intentional exploration of sacred dance is an often-dismissed but none-the-less essential aspect of human growth, evolution, and transformation. How can we truly live in peace unless and until we embrace this aspect of our humanity?

Awake Joy - Katie Davis & Free Spirit - Sundance Burke

Katie Davis - Biography and Spontaneous Awakening

KATIE DAVIS is a graduate of the University of Washington and spontaneously awakened over 20 years ago, without spiritual practices or teachers. A former secondary school educator, businesswoman and mother of two, she simply radically fell into the reality of who we really are. After years of integrating, she began teaching and now travels worldwide to share her message of freedom and joy with her husband, Sundance Burke.

Katie Davis is author of Awake Joy: The Essence of Enlightenment and her husband is Sundance Burke, author of Free Spirit: A Guide to Enlightened Being, who awakened in 1982 before their meeting with his first teachers, Satoshi (Osho) and Shunyata, named the Rare Born Mystic by his friend, Ramana Maharshi. Sundance and Katie travel worldwide offering their message of conscious freedom and causeless joy.

In 2004, Sundance and Katie moved to the island of Maui to write. Encouraged directly by Eckhart Tolle, their books were intimately written with their desks side by side and the expanse of the Pacific Ocean before them. Awake Joy by Katie Davis and Free Spirit by Sundance Burke published in February 2008.

About Sundance Burke and Awakening

Sundance was born in Seattle, Washington under the given name, Donald Russell Burke III. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Gonzaga School of Law. While traveling for business in 1982, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening that fundamentally dissolved his concept of self. In 1988, he met his future wife, Katie Davis, who had similarly experienced the miracle of Self-liberation. They immediately recognized their meeting as sacred and committed their lives to deepening in Loving Presence.

Now an inseparable Spirit, they adventured the awakening in private until 1999 and then began to share the Truth of Being from their home. Soon, they were traveling up and down the West Coast of North America to meet with others. In 2004, Sundance and Katie moved to Maui to marry and write the realization of Beloved Being. Side by side their books took form and expression. Currently, they are traveling throughout our world to share the realization of Free Spirit and Awake Joy.

"Our essential Presence does not need to be understood any more than the smile of a child, the beauty of a flower, or the splendor of a sunset. The nature of such encounters is self-evident and the intellect does not serve to enhance such moments. In fact, if you bring thinking to a sunset, you are likely to miss its sacredness and beauty altogether. Without thinking, you are taken in. With thinking, you are seeking entrance." ~ Sundance Burke, Author, Free Spirit

The Global Shift Has Begun! Are you Ready? - Gregg Braden & Howard Martin

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Live interview on 102.7 FM - Wednesday Oct 7th 6-7 PM

The secrets of 2012 are unfolding. An unprecedented movement in consciousness is taking place. We are at a cross-road where both chaos and new order are emerging simultaneously. How will we answer the call?

Two of the most compelling voices of our time, Gregg Braden and Howard Martin have joined together to offer us an insightful understanding of the global shift and how we can fully participate in the creation of a new world.

First time in Vancouver:

Gregg Braden & Howard Martin

Thursday, October 15, 2009, 7 PM

Welcome to 2012 and Beyond

Unity of Vancouver - 5840 Oak Street

Tickets: $45 in advance or $55 at the door www.BrownPaperTickets.com
or BellaSpark Productions 970-443-0732 or Banyen Books 604-737-8858

Join us for a paradigm-shattering multi-media event that challenges everything you thought you knew about healing, the heart/mind/body connection, and the individual?s ability to dramatically impact the future of our planet.

The evening?s presentation will cover a wide range of provocative topics, including:

    * How dates in the past hold the key to 2012 and beyond
    * What we can realistically expect from this 2012 window of time
    * The unique Time Code Calculator that can predict the most likely dates for war and peace in our future
    * The heart?s role, physically, emotionally and spiritually in accessing the new awareness and intelligence that is emerging on our planet.

During the experiential portion of the program, Gregg and Howard will work directly with the audience to teach techniques of creating personal coherence that link us to the magnetic fields of the earth going through the "2012" changes. Participants will learn how the stress waves created by 6 billion people in the presences of these changes can actually be offset by the coherence waves of relatively few people who know how to live in their hearts.

The event is a fundraiser for The Global Coherence Initiative launched by the Institute of HeartMath. The science-based Initiative?s program is ?uniting millions of people in heart-focused care and intention, to shift global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.? Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series called the project, ?perhaps the greatest experiment in the history of the world.?

Gregg Braden, whose work bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and technology, is the New York Times bestselling author of such groundbreaking books as The Divine Matrix, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief and Fractal Time. More info - www.greggbraden.com

Howard Martin is the Executive Vice President of HeartMath and the author of The HeartMath Solution. www.heartmath.org

Sponsor: Unitarian Adult Religious Education Program

Course Description:

How have humanity?s higher capacities developed during our time on earth? What figures and forces have generated and fostered our unfolding powers? Why has our spiritual evolution been conceived with such stunning variety across the ages? Three major Traditions have offered helpful and intriguing approaches to these questions ? Religion, Spiritual Wisdom, and Science. The contents of these Traditions have been viewed as parallel, as convergent, and as divergent. Today, however, these three Traditions seem to be dovetailing. In this interdisciplinary 8-session course, Religion will be interpreted as revelatory teachings and practices; Spiritual Wisdom as esoteric or hidden insights and techniques; and Science as ever more refined methods of observation, deduction and control. Participants will be invited to examine and discuss the main outlines of all three Traditions, and to explore some possibilities of their integration.

Realizing Your Soul�s purpose - Steve Hulcombe

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:00:00 -0800

?Create an awareness of the distractions and practices preventing you from living your life?s mission
and how to align yourself to your soul?s purpose.?

You will learn to identify your limiting beliefs and patterns, discover and practise powerful tools to systematically remove them. Understand how your personality and soul type influences your life and importantly what kind of career and activities will bring you greater happiness and success. Create an action plan to understand your true essence and move you towards realizing
your soul?s purpose.

Steve Hulcombe began his career in international marketing and international business. After reaching the pinnacle in this field, with almost 10 years of exceptional results, he chose to challenge himself further by offering consulting services abroad. Surprised to find that people all over the world were experiencing the same issues and problems that he was, Steve continued his research. He traveled to many countries and studied various coaching and counseling techniques, eastern teachings and trained in different natural healing modalities. In the process he healed himself of many past traumas and limiting beliefs and learned to embrace his true self.

It wasn?t until Steve started using these techniques on others that he realized he was getting much better results than conventional approaches. Amazed with the positive impact he was having on people?s lives, Steve continued refining his approach and has recognized this as his life?s mission. He founded Propel Life to further his goal of assisting others in their own process, through personal and group coaching and through energy movement techniques.

"Helping you live your life's mission."

Are you living on the spiritual death row of drugs, legal and illegal? - Diederik Wolsak

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Correction belongs only at the level where change is possible.
Change does not mean anything at the symptom level, where it cannot work.

Choose Again offers workshops and groups in Vancouver and Costa Rica to help families and individuals overcome the effects of chronic depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse and eating disorders.

The Costa Rica Center offers residential treatment and retreats employing highly effective cutting-edge, non-pharmaceutical methods, based on the principle that our experience in the world is chosen by our beliefs. We can choose to change those beliefs and thereby achieve a different result in our lives. In other words: we can choose again. The Center in Costa Rica is located on eleven acres of breathtakingly beautiful forested hills with spectacular views of pristine Lake Arenal and Arenal Volcano.

Diederik Wolsak, RPC MPCP is a masterful therapist. Each client recognizes immediately that he is being trained to become independant of his counselor, that he is worthy of respect and has his own answers. Diederik is there to assist in finding and removeing all blocks to happiness and peace in the most gentle and loving way. Diederik is the founder and program director of the Choose Again Attitudinal Healing Center. He is the lead facilitator of both the Vancouver and Costa Rica arms of the organization. He is an international workshop leader and relationship counselor with many years experience in group facilitation.

After many years of private practice in Vancouver, Diederik saw the need for a facility away from the familiar environment of his clients where they could work on themselves without the stress of maintaining their image of themselves. His dream was a wonderful quiet place of restful spiritual safety where clients could feel free to choose change. He created exactly that in Costa Rica and now invites clients to join him for as long as is necessary to change their minds.

The American Guru - Master Charles Cannon

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:00:00 -0800

A living spiritual master is the rarest of human beings? their very presence entrains divine communion. In September 2009, Vancouver and Kelowna will have the rare opportunity to experience the quiet, compelling presence of the man who was named ?The American Guru? in the award winning documentary, ?The Spiritual Revolution?, Master Charles Cannon.

Master Charles Cannon, was coined The American Guru in the award-winning documentary film, The Spiritual Revolution. He is known worldwide as a modern spiritual visionary, holistic lifestyle educator and master of meditation. He is the originator of the Synchronicity Experience and author of the spiritual autobiography, The Bliss of Freedom. He was born March 14, 1945 in Syracuse, NY into a typical, middle-class, Italian-American family. His mystical awakening began to unfold in his childhood via apparitions of the Blessed Mother and has continued throughout his life.
Based on his spiritual experience, his primary focus has always been the exploration and study of mysticism, philosophy and comparative religion. His higher education was in comparative religion and philosophy, and his life, from his earliest years, has been marked by spontaneous, metanormal experiences of expanded, holistic and transcendental states of awareness.
Master Charles? primary teacher has been the Blessed Mother who began appearing to him in his early childhood and whose apparitional manifestation continues into the present time. His vision is holistic spirituality and his enlightening experience validates his monotheistic philosophy of life. He shares a holistic model of reality with One Source Consciousness as the substratum of a multi-dimensional reality along with the mechanics of its actualization through holistic lifestyle in human experience.
In 1970, while still in his early twenties, he traveled to India where he became one of the closest Western disciples of Paramahansa Muktananda, among the most well-known and highly acknowledged Eastern mystics of the modern era. From 1970-1982, Master Charles was extensively trained in orthodox, Vedic/Tantric philosophical contexts and was ordained a monk of the Vedic Order of Sannyasins, the oldest existing monastic, contemplative order in the world today. His monastic name is His Holiness Swami Vivekananda Saraswati. He also served as an Ambassador for Muktananda?s tradition and appeared in a number of high-profile public venues all over the world. Throughout this time, he continued to experience a progressive expansion in his mystical experience through the art and science of meditation and holistic lifestyle.
In 1983, following Muktananda?s death, Master Charles returned to the United States and founded Synchronicity?, Foundation for Modern Spirituality, a non-profit, non-sectarian, spiritual, educational organization dedicated to the contemporized, technological approach to the art and science of meditation and holistic lifestyle. Since its inception, Master Charles and the Synchronicity Experience have achieved international status. Synchronicity Contemporary High-Tech Meditation? soundtracks, featuring the acclaimed Holodynamic? Vibrational Entrainment Technology (HVET), are used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Master Charles also presents regular retreats and programs at Synchronicity?s international headquarters, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia and in major cities throughout the world.
Master Charles stunned world audiences recently in his international media appearances when he refused to condemn the Islamic terrorists who murdered his closest associate Alan Scherr and Alan?s thirteen year old daughter Naomi during the Mumbai attacks in November, 2008. Instead Master Charles spoke of the sacredness of all life; he talked of love, compassion and forgiveness towards the terrorists. He demonstrated unconditional love and the affirmation of life.
Master Charles? seeming abandonment of the traditional context of spirituality in favor of a contemporary approach has made him one of the most innovative spiritual educators of our time. Yet the tangible, experiential impact of the man and his work is undeniable. An extremely effective and engaging speaker, Master Charles and the Synchronicity Experience have been well featured in the international media and he has presented programs at the World Health Organization; the National Institutes of Health; Columbia, Oxford, Tel Aviv and Bombay Universities; Westminster Abbey; the United Nations and the Vatican.

LOVE HAS FORGOTTEN NO ONE; The Answer to Life - Julia Day

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Julia Day (Jewel) CAEH, MMS, CST

I am certified as a CranioSacral Therapist, a Soul Directed Energy Healer & teacher, a Spiritual Healing Practitioner & ordained Inner Focus minister. My intention is to help people find inner peace and joy in whatever way works best for them, though I personally love the pure non-dual teachings of 'A Course In Miracles'. My practice is grounded in an 8 year professional training I undertook in the 1990's called Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing. It aligns us with our Inner Teacher (or spiritual Self) through our vertical axis and heart, encouraging the unconditional love, light and wisdom of our unchanging eternal nature to flood and anchor into our 'me' consciousness as a person/body. This happy alignment within transforms our challenges into transcendent opportunities to experience greater enlightenment, peace and unity awareness in place of pain, blame, fear and suffering. CranioSacral Therapy is another wonderful healing modality from the point of view of Spirit. It soothes, revitalizes and recalibrates our central nervous system by blending with the tissues & cerebral-spinal fluid that flow through the core (vertical axis again) of our seemingly physical self. Somato Emotional Release (SER), an aspect of CST, occurs when 'energy cysts' containing stored emotional & mental content gently release. CST supports release from: chronic pain, migraines, learning disabilities, autism; shock, accidents; birth, dental & emotional traumas; anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue; ear & sinus infections; infant developmental delay, colic & other childhood concerns incl. braces; scoliosis, vertigo, asthma, TMJ, arthritis, brain & spinal injuries; insomnia, toxicity, seizure disorders, conflicted mental/emotional states, and just about everything imaginable... It encourages all systems in the body/mind to soften & gently expand with ease and increased awareness. Sessions are not 'done' by the therapist but are guided by the Inner Wisdom within both client and therapist. As a techniques-certified CranioSacral therapist, I have studied to advanced levels in CranioSacral Therapy & Somato-Emotional Release through the Upledger Institute where I am also a certified Teaching Assistant & Study Group leader (see: www.Upledger.com). I also host & arrange 'A Course In Miracles' workshops & study groups aimed at lovingly undoing the ego through choosing quantum forgiveness. For me, all healing is ultimately spiritual because, deep in our unconscious mind, all of our pain originates from the mistaken idea of imagined separation from what we really are; perfect Oneness with our True Self/Source. My job as a facilitator is simply to witness each client's absolute wholeness, perfection and innocence. Through authentic perception, which is neutral to all situations and appearances, clients naturally experience themselves anew through direct awareness of their own True Self expressing as infinite Love, transpersonal stillness, core awareness and 'simply being'.

How do we approach change? - Lisa de Lusignan and Laura Bradley

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:00:00 -0800

How do we approach change? Do we hold on tight to the old and therefore struggle as we walk towards the future? Are we fearing the future, sure that the past was better as at least we know what to expect from it? The only thing permanent is change. Sometimes change comes as a tragically such as a death, accident, illness, or in celebration as in a birth, wedding, graduation. How we approach and perceive these changes will alter the experience, bringing either suffering or joy. It ultimately does not matter what happens in our lives on the outside, it only matters how we perceive what is happening as that dictates who we are and how we respond to any event or any person. What we believe and who we are make up our experiences.
With each change we are presented with an opportunity to heal, grow, learn, see more Love. Tune in with Laura and Lisa and find out the answer to these questions it is possible to find the joy in the middle of the struggle? How we walk through life has more impact on our happiness and fulfillment then the actual events? With fall right around the corner, school starting, children going off to college, summer romance coming to an end, or the fantasy of that coming to an end, or the excitement of a new project, all are significant changes we may be experiencing. What if you knew that every corner, every new thing that happens in your life was perfectly designed to support the reason you are here on this planet at this time. What if every heart ache, loss, success, failure was in perfect order for the development of your darma, your destiny,your greatest gift to bring to the world.
With that belief in mind every challenge becomes and opportunity for more insight, healing and inspiration. These bumps in the road can be used as stepping stones towards our goal, peace, harmony, grace, passion, whatever goal you choose. It is yours to have right in the middle of these life changes.
Lisa de Lusignan and Laura Bradley will be discussing how to walk into life changes, how to decide to choose a goal that can create a more peaceful, joyful life in the middle of any struggle and how ultimately you can choose your experience!

Sacred Commerce - Business as a Path of Awakening - Matthew and Terces Engelhart

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:00:00 -0800

When Matthew and Terces Engelhart first became sweethearts, they promised to live their lives together following and trusting intuition. Resulting from that commitment was an initial guidance to create a board game and after a year of development, the Abounding River Game was introduced. Abounding River is an interactive way of practicing ?being? Abundance in your life. The accompanying Abounding River Logbook is a 42-day practice that?s shared with a partner and is meant to guide each individual through exercises in practicing focused attention on qualities we all aspire to: Love & Acceptance, Generosity, Worth, Gratitude, and Creation or Responsibility. Once the game was complete, Matthew and Terces agreed that it would be wonderful to offer a place where people could gather, eat and play the game. Coincidentally, while on their farm in Maui, Terces read a book about live foods and was so inspired she asked Matthew to eat ?live? for 30 days. At the end of the month, they felt so good they decided to create the caf? and the idea for the first Caf? Gratitude was born and shortly thereafter, they opened up on 20th and Harrison Streets in San Francisco as a live foods Caf?. More info - Cafe Gratitude: http://www.cafegratitude.com/

Sacred Commerce - workshop in Vancouver

What if awakening was the context at your workplace?
What if management meant being accountable for the spiritual emergence of one's staff as well as the well being of one's company? What if conflicts in your work community were acknowledged as a chance to heal collective wounds? What if the mission of your business was to usher in a sustainable, spiritually fulfilling society. Sacred commerce is the practice of having the Eternal present in a commercial environment; it is creating money a sacrament and the exchange of goods and services as a holy opportunity. Matthew and Terces Engelhart, are the owners of Cafe Gratitude LLC, a school of transformation in the setting of an organic vegan restaurant chain in the Bay area. With humor, passion, and authenticity the Engelharts will train participants to (re)create a company that appreciates in value as the work force collectively practices keeping its attention on Source and supply. Regardless of your position at work this course will endow you with the tools to embark on the path of the realized profit. More info - Sacred Commerce: http://www.cafegratitudestore.com/saco1i.html

Voices of Youth - Michael J. Meade

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Michael Meade is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He combines hypnotic and fiery storytelling, street savvy perceptiveness, and spellbinding interpretations of ancient myths with a deep knowledge of cross-cultural rituals. He has an unusual ability to distill and synthesize these disciplines, tapping into ancestral sources of wisdom, while connecting them to the stories we are living today. He is the author of The World Behind the World, The Water of Life: Initiation and the Tempering of the Soul; editor, with James Hillman and Robert Bly, of Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart; and editor of Crossroads: A Quest for Contemporary Rites of Passage. Meade is founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, a nonprofit network of artists, social activists, and community builders formed to organize, sponsor, and support programs and events that encourage greater understanding between diverse peoples: elders and youth, and those of various cultural and spiritual backgrounds.

Voices of Youth

Voices of Youth is a series of projects that involve diverse youth in a variety of communities. Through Voices, youth are engaged in the creation of an artistic forum for their own expression while developing mentoring relationships within their community.

Themes of contemporary disorientation find unique expression through the writings and voices of local youth, offering insights into the root causes of youth violence, cynicism and apathy. A narrative mix of old stories and youthful voices is then presented to the local community in an event that is part theater, part literature and part celebration. Each presentation is followed by a discussion that includes families, teachers, community members and youth. Hearing the acute perspectives of youth can significantly change the community?s perception of both local and national issues and inspire continuing conversations across the generation gap. Voices of Youth inspires and empowers local youth, fosters ongoing cross-generational dialogues and leads to the development of unique local forms of mentoring.

He continues his work today under the auspices of the non-profit organization, the "Mosaic Multicultural Foundation".

Mosaic seeks to create cross-cultural alliances, mentoring relationships and social connections built upon personal trust and commitment to bridging unhealthy divisions in contemporary communities. The process of finding, fitting and weaving together divergent, yet necessary pieces involves making new social fabrics from existing ethnic, spiritual, psychological and political threads.

Mosaic means putting essential pieces together; forming a whole from separate, divided, even estranged parts. Each project begins with the idea that the necessary pieces can be found, even if that means looking in troublesome or unexpected places Mosaic events draw inspiration from the traditions of many cultures and incorporate knowledge learned in the trenches of contemporary community work. The 'genius' of the situation is sought whether it be that of an individual, an organization or a community. Revealing the 'resident genius' and unique spirit becomes a key to understanding problems and fitting the pieces together in new ways.

Through this process, personal stories, the history of the group and important goals find appropriate places within the shape of a story which all can see, contribute to and learn from.Current projects focus on youth at risk, 'genius based' mentoring and developing the 'arts of community' in diverse organizations and groups.

Healing with Ayahuasca & Connecting Amazonian and North American Fist Nations Communities to save Environment - Antonio Guerrero

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Antonio Guerrero,

I began my learning path with Ayahuasca and the healing plants in the Amazon. I used to spend some of the time living with the Ayahuasca Masters in their homes (some were located within indigenous communities). I started to learn by doing daily activities such as walking through the forest with the Ayahuasca Masters, picking plants to prepare medicines, cooking Ayahuasca, and purging. As if I were a kid again, I learned again how to use my senses. Through the Ayahuasca, the daily life experiences and a lot of patience, my Masters taught me about the deep and vast wisdom of nature, about the great importance of being connected with the environment, and with the present. Even though they know so much about the Amazon through their traditional knowledge and their many life experiences, the medicines and the Master plants, one of their greatest teachings is how ?invisible? they can be through their humble way of being and sharing. They never look proud of all what they know. As they say ?We grow like trees, holding onto the teachings with the roots of our traditions, while connecting with the light of understanding, growing and purging?. Thanks to Don Ignacio Duri Palomeque, Don Alonso Del Rio (Popoquatl), Don Lucio Tayakope (Oambaiorokeri), Don Roberto Masia Sehue (Shaejame), Don Edilberto Vargas (Master Bechin), Don Edinson Panduro for your teachings and inspiration during the ceremony of life.

I came to the Amazon rainforest to do conservation of the endangered Amazonian Eagles in 1995. The eagle?s presence brought me to live in different Indigenous Communities, where I had the great opportunity to learn from my masters. It was amazing when understanding how everything in nature is connected and so well related in spite of all their differences. When living with nature and the Amazonian traditions, Ayahuasca is always close. I continue learning through Ayahuasca, healing myself, opening my consciousness to the mystery and wisdom of the rainforest to clarify my visions. Ayahuasca helps me to create integral projects that allow the promotion of the welfare between society and the Amazon environment.

The Sowewankeri Amazon Healing Centre staffs are local people who live as a family group. We offer the experience of living the way we live here in the Amazon, such as being able to interact with us during the daily work activities, and also with our neighbours in the local community where the Centre is located.

The Sowewankeri Family evolves with each new life experience that we are privileged to be a part of. Every person who comes and shares their own change with us; every effort given to the healing process at each of the ceremonies, is our motivation to keep on walking in health and peace.

The Divine Feminine: Wisdom in Action - Parvathi

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Parvathi was born in India into a family with ancient lineage of Yoga and Vedanta. Raised with these teachings and principles, at a very young age she began her training. She was formally initiated into the Pratyabhijnana Marga School of Kashmir Shaivism by a yogini adept. Over the years she received the full transmissions of this tradition integrating them with Yoga, Vedanta and Samaya Tantras (a specific scientific school of yoga wisdom). Later, she received the Shree Vidya transmissions through the eminent Shree Amritananda Saraswati of Devipuram.

Parvathi is the disciple of Lalita Devi and heir of the deepest tantric tradition of Kashmirian Shaivism. The lineage of the Nath goes back to Matsyendranath himself and through him to the oldest sources of Shaivism. It is to this emblematic master that Abhinavagupta pays homage in the opening of his Tantraloka, as initiator of the Kaula lineage. Kaula is the union of Shakti, kula, and Shiva, akula. Matsyendranath in his famous tantra, the Kaulajnananirnaya tantra, after presenting the lineage of his masters, states simply that he received the teachings directly from the Goddess Kali.

Parvathi underwent a beautiful and very strong training immersed in the direct teachings and sadhanas of the Yoginis, the Kaula tradition and the living philosophies of Kashmir Shaivism. She received the transmission of the deepest teachings of the Kaula lineage and became an adept in the art of mantras and the different sadhanas. She practiced the sadhana of the Ten Mahavidyas dedicated to Kali, Tara, Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Chinnamasta, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Baglamukhi, Matangi and Kamala. Then she was initiated to the teachings and cosmic practice of Shree Vidya that she transmits today. As the years passed she also received training in the Mishra and Samaya schools of Tantra. She is heir to three profound streams of Tantra and Yoga lineage. After extensive training and arduous testing, she was asked to teach by her teachers who themselves are lineage holders. She does this as a yogini sharing the transmissions, but not as a guru.

As a young girl Parvathi traveled throughout America, Europe and India due to her father's profession as a scientist. Later living in America, she founded Saraswati River Yoga School and co-founded Yogasphere. She trains teachers in this integrated method of yoga transmitted originally from the yoginis, the Vedas and the Tantras. Extensive travel, living in the West but undergoing arduous traditional training and testing by her teachers has given Parvathi a special ability to give pertinent and refined language to this consciousness work - revealing its integrated application and relevance.

As well, living a householder's life in the world - as a mother and a yogini - integrating yoga practice daily, has given Parvathi a unique perspective. She weaves the timeless wisdoms and ancient practices and texts into everyday life. Finding grace and wonder in life through the myriad of relationships is the aim of her yoga practice. To exist in non-duality, conversing with duality and being accountable to every level of relationship is the mastery of the yoginis. Parvathi's study and training is captivating because it reveals the wisdom of this tradition expounding the great power of the yoginis and their lineages transmitted from woman to woman since the origins.

The Lakshmi Retreat with Parvathi on Salt Spring Island from July 19th to the 23rd.

Cycling for Kindness - Brock Tully

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:30:00 -0800

Brock Tully is an inspirational speaker and author of a series of Reflections books (over 140,000 copies sold). In 2000, Brock sold his business and cycled 18,000 kilometres around North America to raise awareness for kindness. In addition to being a main cyclist and spokesperson for the Cycling for Kindness project.

Brock Tully is a man on a mission. ?I only do about 10 miles an hour with the trailer hooked on behind me,? Brock said. Tully did 10 miles enough times in a row to cycle all the way around North America not once, but 3 times.

Tully is co-founder of the Kindness Foundation of Canada and as of May 3, 2009 is back home in Vancouver again after eight months on the highways of North America on a road trip Tully called ?absolutely brutal at times. I would be cycling in freezing rain soaked through to the skin with two or three hours left to go to get to the next destination sometimes. It was hard to keep going on those days, but I did because people were waiting for me.?

I've since become aware this irritation comes from not listening to the one inner voice of my heart, but from listening to, and becoming confused by all the fearful voices in my head.

All those suggestions from loving, well-meaning people who thought they knew my journey better than me. I was angry at those people until I realized I have a choice to listen or to not listen!

In 1970, at 23 years old, the conflict was so intense I was very suicidal. I was at "Brock" bottom. I needed to make a change; so I decided to climb on my bicycle and do what no one had done - ride my bicycle around Canada, the U.S., and Mexico (10,000 miles, 18,000 Km) As I rode I became more conscious and soon realized that my journey wasn't so much a 10,000 mile one, but a 12 inch one, . . . from my head, back to my heart! I was becoming excited about life again! I hadn't lost my heart . . . I had only lost touch with it!

During my journey, I wrote my first thought of many . . .

". . . I'd rather be seen for who I am and be alone . . . than be accepted for someone I'm not and be lonely."

Instead of "taking my life," by remembering my heart, I realized I was here to 'give with my life'!

". . . I was told I'd be 'out-of-my-mind' to go after my dreams . . . now that I've gotten out of my mind by following my heart, I'm living my dreams."

I started collecting my little thoughts and over the years put together a series of 5 Reflection books, 2 children books (for people of "all" ages), and a CD "Touching Hearts." People seemed to like what I wrote (over 140,000 copies sold) and I was asked to speak at a variety of events!

What could be better than this! I was writing and sharing what I feel! (and sometimes even getting paid!) I found 'my' path - it's been a slippery one at times, but I know the way I look at life is my choice . . .

". . . I may not be able to change the world I see around me but I can change the way I see the world, within me."

Even though I know I'm on 'my' path, it was confirmed the day I got a letter from a woman telling me about her Grandmother who passed on and whose last request was to be buried with my book!

"One of a KIND Stories, Music, and more" is back!

Friday night, July 3rd, at 7:30pm
at Unity Vancouver (5840 Oak St. - near 41st)

It will include a personal short Story from the heart, and lots of amazing music....i'm sooooo excited about our Performers (so incredibly talented!!) - we have Jeanette and Jonas from Kindness Rocks, ABBACadabra, and many other incredible Shows (they are off to Malaysia shortly to Perform for the King); Ron Irving who is a fantastic singer, musician, and song-writer (written for Michael Buble, Anne Murray, etc.); Ivan Boudreau an outstanding singer, musician, and song-writer who will also totally WOW you; and Michael Vincent who is not only amazing, but just released his beautiful CD!!

...i hope you feel inspired to pass this on to your wonderful friends and others on your data base....it will be a special evening...esp. if YOU are there! Yahoooo!!! Come alone or bring friends!

...at this first one, i will be sharing about my life, including my 3 epic bicycle journeys, from my personal inner challenges with addiction to my insights learned a long the way! Of all the Events i've organized, this is the first where i will share 'my' story! ...it would really mean a lot to me to have your support and to see you there! Over the last many years i've organized large Events like "Clam Chowder for the Soul, "Porridge for the Soul", the World Kindness Concerts, and now "One of a KIND Stories"...these Events have given close to 500 Speakers and Performers an opportunity to share their gifts and talents...our stories are so so important...many of us go through life and no one ever gets to really know us...we hold so much inside...when we hear and support people being vulnerable and real, their stories become ours, as we relate to the feelings, fears, and challenges....our stories may 'appear' different, but inside they are all the same! i hope you'll be there for my story!

...at each Event - i'm planning on going weekly at the end of the summer and i will be featuring a local story of a person overcoming a huge challenge to make a difference plus a variety of wonderful Performers - some of whom, will share their touching stories!

...this last trip around the U.S. was extremely tough and at the same time very fulfilling, and this will also be the first time i will be sharing about my latest trip and answering questions... hopefully you feel the Events i organize have, and will continue, to support you on 'your' journey. The following Events will focus on others' stories...i have been touched deeply by people's stories and they not only need to be heard, but we need to support each other - especially when we risk to open our hearts - this is what COMMUNITY is all about.

...this latest Tour has convinced me that our challenges - depression, anger, loneliness, feeling 'stuck', unhealthy relationships, or whatever - stems from us holding our feelings inside and our lack of communication...we lose touch with our very special heart and, too often, feel separate and fearful. The use of drugs, such as 'Crystal Meth', to numb feelings, has become epidemic.

...please bring Kleenex...we had 250 people at the last big "One of a KIND stories" Event and there wasn't a dry eye in the Theatre...we were moved, and often times deeply saddened, by people's overwhelming challenges, but we left inspired and connected to others by these amazing stories of courage!

...it is important to be on time and attendance is by $5-10 minimum donation....i'm so excited to see you there.

Grace, Gaia and the End of Days - Satyen Raja & Stuart Wilde

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:30:00 -0800

Satyen Raja Interview with Stuart Wilde
on Conscious Living Radio 102.7 FM

Stuart Wilde is considered by many the greatest living metaphysician in the world today, many of the most famous New Age, New Thought writers and teachers have studied with him or they have been greatly influenced by his work.

In 2001 Wilde discovered the Morph and he wrote out the details of the topography and dimensions of what is now know as the Aluna Mirror Worlds, much of that information has since been verified by many others who have greatly added to his initial work.

In the 1980s Wilde correctly described the etheric life field around humans in precise detail. Previously it was known only in vague terms and discussions about the human aura. Wilde wrote out the first of many precise and verifiable etheric exercises and sensations in his book The Quickening (Hay House 1995).

Over the last ten years he has published hundreds of his visions many of which have now come to pass.

He continues to write of his latest discoveries on his Internet sites (Stuartwilde.com & Stuartwildeblog.com). He has written twenty books.

Satyen Raja
Satyen?s deepest purpose for living is to make it possible for others to Awaken in a way that is real, practical and sustainable. Each step on the Path of the WarriorSage reflects a step in Satyen?s own life and an offering of his purpose. Sex, Passion & Enlightenment, Living Ecstasy, The Illumination Intensive, Money Mastery, Spiritual Adventure Journeys, The Awakening of the WarriorSage?each step is a transformation, a portal to the permanent Awakening of your soul.

Big Mind Big Heart - Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi is a revolutionary in the tradition of the old Zen Masters who so embodied Buddhist teaching that they were able to revitalize and transform it for their own day and age. As Buddhism moved from India to China to Japan and other Asian cultures, it found unique expression in each culture that made its fundamental teachings resonate for a new time and place. Genpo Roshi is working to transmit the essence of the Buddha?s teachings in a way that is readily accessible to Westerners and relevant to our everyday life.
The core of Genpo Roshi?s teaching is the unshakeable and contagious certainty that every one of us, regardless of our socio-economic, cultural or religious background, can instantly awaken to our true nature, like the great masters of old ? like the historical Buddha himself, whose essential teaching was nothing less than this. This experience helps us shed anxiety and fear and learn to live more purposeful, compassionate and joyful lives. Roshi combines Zen tradition with the insights of such visionary western figures as Carl Jung, Fritz Perls, and Hal Stone, enabling virtually anyone to realize their true nature, a realization they can further deepen through meditation.
Dennis Genpo Merzel comes from a long line of Rebbes. Born in Brooklyn NY, he grew up in Southern California where he was a high school champion swimmer and All-American water polo player. He earned a Masters degree in education from the University of Southern California and was a teacher and lifeguard before ordaining as a Zen monk under Zen Master Taizan Maezumi in 1973. Completing formal Koan study in 1979 he became Maezumi Roshi?s second Dharma Successor in 1980, the first being Bernie Tetsugen Glassman. He received Inka (final seal of approval as Zen Master) from Roshi Glassman in 1996, thereby becoming one of a small group of Westerners recognized as lineage holders in both the Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions.

In 1982 Genpo Sensei began teaching throughout Europe and founded the international group he named the Kanzeon (Love and Compassion) Sangha, centered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with affiliates in France, Holland, Poland, Belgium, Germany, England, and Malta. He has twelve Dharma Successors: Catherine Genno Pages, John Shodo Flatt, Anton Tenkei Coppens, Malgosia Jiho Braunek, Daniel Doen Silberberg, Nico Sojun Tydeman, Nancy Genshin Gabrysch, Diane Musho Hamilton, Michael Mugaku Zimmerman, Richard Taido Christofferson, Michel Genko Dubois, and Maurice Shonen Knegtel. He has given Inka to seven Zen teachers: John Daido Loori, Catherine Genno Pages and Anton Tenkei Coppens, Jan Chozen Bays, Charles Tenshin Fletcher, Nicolee Jikyo McMahon and Susan Myoyu Andersen. For ten years, until 2007, he was the President of the White Plum Asanga, the worldwide community comprising all the Dharma heirs of Taizan Maezumi Roshi, their successors, and the many groups they lead.

Roshi?s publications include The Eye Never Sleeps, Beyond Sanity and Madness, 24/7 Dharma, and The Path of The Human Being, and several DVDs. His latest book, Big Mind/Big Heart: Finding Your Way, published in the Fall of 2007, is also being published in translation in Holland, Spain, Germany, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania. He is married to Stephanie Young Merzel, co-administrator of Kanzeon Zen Center International, and has two children, Tai Merzel, an aerospace engineer, and Nicole Merzel, a graduate student in mathematics and earning teacher certification at the University of Puget Sound.

Using guided meditation and intuition to reveal your deepest self - Michal Levin

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Live Interview with Michal on 102.7 FM, Wednesday, June 10, 6-7 PM

Michal Levin has been called the intuitive's intuitive, by the thousands of people who, over the years, have benefited from her psychic or intuitive readings, healing workshops, books and seminars. But to most, she is more than just an outstanding intuitive, she is a spiritual teacher.

As a spiritual teacher, she is an advisor, mentor and guide for individuals who are poised to take the next steps in their personal evolution. For more than seventeen years she has been a sought after teacher, helping others on an evolutionary path, connecting them with purpose and meaning to enable them to enjoy a valuable life.

At the same time, because she sees energy and understands how to interpret it, she teaches the lessons of subtle energy, and how to work with it, including by the use of a special meditation technique.

As a spiritual teacher and an intuitive, Michal works to transform each individual, and so the wider world, for the greater good.

James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy says:
"Michal Levin is one of the world's foremost teachers of energy- sensing, interpreting, and working with energy. When you learn from her and practice her wisdom, you open the doors to soul and spirit, and develop your multiple ways of knowing. Michal's also a superb intuitive mentor for your personal guidance and growth. Her skills, insight, and integrity are extraordinary."

Deepak Chopra, author: Grow Younger, Live Longer and Quantum Healing, etc.
"Michal Levin provides an inspired map that guides many on their way to further explorations."

"In modern medical practice we are engaged in the development of sensing devices that we attach to our patients. Michal, however, demonstrates ways of knowing that outstrip even our most sophisticated electronic devices, ways in which the innate sensitivity of human beings vastly surpasses machines....She teaches that the instrument we most need to develop is ourselves, and she teaches us how to realize this."
Charles Palmer MB ChB, Professor of Pediatrics, Chief Penn State Children's Hospital

Limitless You, The Infinite Possibilities of a Balanced Brain - Lee Gerdes

Wed, 27 May 2009 18:00:00 -0800

Lee Gerdes, Educated at Doane College, Crete, Nebraska; Columbia University, NY; Wartburg Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa; JFK University, Orinda, CA. Lee achieved a BA with Math and Physics majors and advanced studies in Math and Physics; a Masters Degree in Divinity with advanced studies in Psychology.

He has a background that includes Systems Analyst, Pastoral Counselor, Management Consultant, and in computer software his most recent position was as Vice President of Solutions for NetPerceptions. Lee was featured on ABC News Nightline for his work at NetPerceptions and their creation of computer software to help individuals find specific items which they would most probably like when there were a large number of items from which to choose.

The eclectic mix of Lee's education and his personal need to experience more happiness and less stress while being highly functional, led Lee in 2003, to begin research of the options to cause an individual brain state to be conditioned for health and happiness. In 2004, Lee started KudoZone, a brain state conditioning business, which now furnishes Brain State Conditioning capability to thousands of people. In 2005 KudoZone became Brain State Technologies, with affiliate offices throughout the world.

Brain State Technologies System for Brainwave Optimization was designed for relaxation, self-regulation and meditation. Ultimately, this process produces personalized exercises to balance and optimize your brain.
Brain balance and harmony is the first step to well being and optimization. Balance in the brain, is subsequently followed by balance in the body. The condition of balance and harmony for the brain is known as homeostasis. It is a level playing field for your brain to respond to thinking, feeling, and healing your body in an optimized state. Your brain acts as the hub of the wheel, your nervous system the spokes and your body the rim. When the hub is out of balance everything else suffers.
Brainwave Optimization with RTB is a completely non-invasive, individually tailored process of balancing and harmonizing the brain. The System balances brain activity from the lobes of one side of the brain to the other, and from the front of the brain to the back. Harmony refers to the way energy patterns function together from low to high in the various regions of the brain. The sole objective of brainwave optimization is to establish balance and harmony in the brain. More Info - http://www.brainstatetech.com/
