Finding Your Other Half – Declan Kerr

November 22nd,  8.30 PM – 10.30 PM

Eternal Abundance – 1025 Commercial Drive

$25 + HST in advance or $30 at the door

Organic cookie and tea included

Eternal Abundance is an Organic Produce Store and Vegan Raw Food Cafe,

come at 7.30 PM to meet interesting people before the event, do some shopping & get nourishing dinner or dessert and get 10% discount!

Finding Your Other Half is about spirituality and relationships.

The central idea is that when we decide to find ourselves then intimate and loving relationships change dramatically because we’re not looking for someone else to make us feel good about ourselves or fill the gaps. Finding ourselves is mostly relaxing about who we are – we’re already here after all – it’s just that we decide to see ourselves. Once we relax about ourselves then relationships change – we can enjoy someone else for all the wonderful stuff.

Doesn’t matter if you are in a relationship or desire one. Having found yourself, relationships can be taken to a whole new level.

In this mini-workshop, you will be invited to see how it feels to:
•    Be aware of there being more of you: and then how it feels to connect and integrate the energy of yourself as a physical being with the energy of yourself as a spiritual being
•    Recognize how it feels to be supported in the balance of physical and spiritual, so that you can choose to live this way from this moment on
•    Decide what qualities you would most like to experience in your existing relationship or what you would like to experience with a compatible partner
•    Bring these qualities into your life so that your experience of intimate and loving relationships can change from this moment on

About the workshop facilitator:

Declan Kerr is a writer and healer and for some time he has pursued an interest in how we become more of ourselves.  The key to this he sees as things coming into balance – masculine and feminine, physical and spiritual. Not balance because they are the same but balance because they are equal. His belief is that we are the ones we have been waiting for.  Finding Your Other Half is his third book. It is published by O Books in North America and the UK and copies are available from your favourite bookstore or on the night of the presentation.

Your Voice Is The Messenger Of Your Soul
Oct 16th-23rd Tofino, BC

For More information call Ashley: 604-644-4447

People either respond to your voice or are repelled by it. Often, the difference is how well your heart and authenticity are able to come through your voice. All of our wounds and fears are also held there in the way we express ourselves. By working and transforming our relationship to our sound and presence through our voice, we release the binds that tie us to what no longer serves.

Use your voice to empower your leadership, art, creativity as well as your relationships by communicating clearly, with passion and your full soul. Move forward and be heard.

Led by musician, speaker and workshop faciliator Edwin Coppard, this 8-day program will help you to find and magnify your own natural, pure voice and share the fullness of Who You Are.

From these sounds will come the poetry and songs of truth to inspire, guide, and enlighten us all.  By the end of the course you will have written many poems and many songs, put to your own melodies in a way you never thought you were able. You will hear, recognize, and appreciate the intrinsic beauty and power of the songs created in this way.

Where: Held at Middle Beach Lodge, in Tofino, BC, Canada. The environment in Tofino is one of the purest in the world – a world famous ecological reserve with old growth rainforest, trails, eagles, ocean beaches, and whales. Everyone has an ocean view private room. Our meeting room looks over a stunning view of the ocean and there is a large river rock fireplace where we create blazing fires in the evening. We book the entire lodge so that we are completely and utterly private and in our own world, the world of sound, singing, and song.

Plato said, “music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination………..it is the essence of order and leads to all that is good.” Outrageous fun is guaranteed, and meeting new friends who you will remember for a lifetime has been a consistent treasure for the participants.

4,000$ All-day Training, meals & accomodation **pay plans and some discounts available**

Panache Desai

Thursday August 25th 7:00-10:00

Unity of Vancouver, 5840 Oak St

15$ in Advance, 20$ at the door

I’m here as an example to all that no matter what your life experiences are or how you feel about yourself we are all divine with amazing gifts and abilities. It is my role to make that which was once only accessible to a select few, available to all mankind.
– Panache

Panache Desai is an inspirational visionary and contemporary spiritual teacher whose gift of spiritual awakening and vibrational transformation has drawn thousands of people from all over the world. He acts as a direct link to Divine consciousness and helps people of all nationalities, religious beliefs, and faiths to transform their lives through the power of connection to Source – their own “guru” within. As he travels the world providing experiential programs and inspired living workshops, he empowers people to free themselves of pain, suffering, sadness, and self-limiting beliefs, opening them to infinite possibilities for their lives.

Born and raised in London, England, Panache Desai spent his childhood surrounded by a deeply spiritual family, immersed in an atmosphere of prayer and worship.  He didn’t get it: why did people have to “do” anything to experience what he felt all the time – the tangible presence of the Divine within. After a profoundly transformative experience more than a decade ago when he experienced a direct and overwhelming transmission of God’s grace, he was infused with the knowing that he is here as a catalyst to assist humanity in realizing that they are infinitely loved by God exactly as they are in all their humanity, and that everything they are seeking already exists within themselves when they connect with the guru within.  Since then, Panache has embodied the highest vibration of God consciousness – pure Divine love – and has committed his life to empowering humanity with the deepest states of Divine connection and conscious awareness for themselves resulting in them becoming their own gurus.of people through his divine presence. He is a vehicle of profound peace, love and light.

Vine of the Soul Screening With Director Richard Meech

About the Film
Can a sacred plant from the Amazon heal our minds and spirits? For centuries, indigenous people of South America have used ayahuasca, a psychoactive plant medicine, to cure all manner of psycho-spiritual ills. “Vine of the Soul” is a documentary that explores this brave new world, offering insights into the nature of faith, mystical experience and self-healing through a heightened state of consciousness. Filmmaker Richard Meech follows key protagonists as they journey to Peru – and back home – capturing in verité style both the life-altering epiphanies and nights of terror encountered after drinking the sacred brew. Running Time: 1 hr, Q & A 1 hr following screening.

Director’s statement:

When I set out to make my documentary “Vine of the Soul: Encounters with Ayahuasca,” I had two intentions. Firstly, to awaken viewers to the possibility of a direct experience of the ‘divine’ through the ceremonial use of ayahuasca, a sacred plant medicine used in traditional Amazonian shamanism. And second, I wanted people to understand how the insights, grace and joy that arise from such encounters can be integrated into daily life. At its heart, the film itself is a shamanic act of transmission that can have a profound, sometimes life-altering effect on those who see it. http://www.vineofthesoul.com/

Richard Meech, president of Meech Grant Productions Ltd., has 20 years experience as a documentary filmmaker and television producer.

In 2010 he completed Vine of the Soul: Encounters with Ayahuasca, a one-hour film about ayahuasca, the sacred psychoactive medicine from the Amazon that is changing modern lives.

Meech was the creator of the internationally acclaimed series Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and The Modern World. He and his partner, Michael Grant, produced and directed the epic cross-cultural anthropology series of 10 one-hour films seen by over 70 million viewers worldwide.

Join us for an enchanting and soul-restoring Evening!!

Each cell in our body is genetically programmed to maintain its own health and well-being. During the course of our life many environmental factors interfere with this state.

During this presentation Jay re-tunes each participants body, initially by opening, clearing and re-balancing each of the 7 major charkas, plus the ‘high heart’. The high heart is the one heart that connects all hearts to the one, to spirit, to God. This chakra is commonly referred to as the Thymus gland or the center for the immunity system. It has been scientifically established that each of these chakras or energy centers are associated with a musical note or vibrational frequency.

Jay says: ‘My vision and intention is to open the ‘high heart’ that connects us all together as one, again. It is my desire to learn how to give to and receive love from all of my brothers and sisters.’ Come join us to restore, replenish and open to the divine spirits that hold us on this journey!

About Jay: In 1994, inspired by another Esalen workshop, he bought his first set of ‘singing’ Crystal Bowls. In the following years he has taught himself how to play. In 1995 Jay was trained as a Reiki Master and has been training many in this technique.  In 1997 Jay added to his skills by attending a 750- hour training program in hypnotherapy.
During the last 5 years Jay has been travelling throughout the United States giving performances, leading workshops and giving private sessions at nursing homes, healing centers, New Thought churches, yoga studios, recovery centers and a variety of other locations as he assists in raising the planets vibrational frequencies. He has performed at such notable places as The Deepok Chopra Center, The Edgar Cayce Center, A.R.E. , The Agape Cultural Center,  and The Believe Center.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

This one day workshop will give you the tools and teachings needed to create what changes you want in your life.  We will take a close look at how the laws of manifestation work, and especially how to apply them to your life so as to produce concrete results. The recent book The Secret popularized some of these manifestation laws, but a book in itself is limited in its ability to bring about real changes in your life. Theory needs to be balanced with practice in order for real progress to happen. In this workshop you will be given both theory and practice, with special emphasis on understanding the unique blocks in your mind that stop you from creating more abundant changes in your life.

These techniques have been practiced in secret for thousands of years, taught only by great masters in an unbroken line down to us today. This may be the first time these teachings have been openly taught in the West!

Jacques has been a natural health practitioner for over 22 years, and has included the Tibetan Five Element healing techniques in his professional practice. As a result of this, his approach to Tantra incorporates his extensive knowledge of physical health and healing.

Ripper travels to the minefields of Cambodia; war-torn Afghanistan; the toxic wasteland of Bhopal; post-9/11 New York; Bosnia; Hiroshima; Israel and Palestine. This powerful documentary captures his five- year odyssey to discover if humanity can transform the “scared” into the “sacred”. In each place, he unearths unforgettable stories of survival, ritual, resilience and recovery.

ScaredSacred deftly weaves together stunning footage with haunting memories, inspirational stories, and an evocative soundscape. Featuring an engaging, first-person narrative, this film is an exquisite portrait of a search for meaning in times of turmoil, a luminous gift to a world in shadows.

Friday, February 18th 8pm Eternal Abundance 1025 Commercial Drive
20$ in Advance, 25$ at the door

15$ for CLN Members

**Opening Ceremony with Native Flute & Crystal Bowl player Luella**

The human community and the planet itself are facing unprecedented challenges. Many see disaster looming. But there is a powerful, authentic vision on the loose—still unknown to most—that sees a global consciousness transformation underway which may very well save and sustain the world. Author Stephen Gray (Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for the Emerging Reality) is close to the centre of this vision with forty years experience on the spiritual path, particularly with Tibetan Buddhism and indigenous shamanic plant-medicine practices. Stephen will speak about the ceremonial and healing use of medicines like peyote and ayahuasca, as well as the universally accessible practice of mindfulness/awareness meditation and the power of prayer as it is understood in the indigenous cosmos. All of these teachings and practices are linked and coming together now in a potent synthesis to help us awaken to our true nature and the full realization of what we’re capable of accomplishing in our own lives and for our beloved Earth.

Stephen Gray was a student, meditation instructor, and teacher of Buddhism for many years. His main practice in recent years has been with the Native American Church. Stephen has also worked with other shamanic traditions, in particular, Amazonian ayahuasca shamanism. As well as his teaching and writing, Stephen composes music for “inner journeying” and has 3 cds under the artist name Keary (keary-reedsong.com). Stephen has written for a number of print and online magazines such as Shaman’s Drum, Sacred Hoop, and Reality Sandwich/Evolver.net. His book, Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for the Emerging Reality, is available on Amazon.com good bookstores everywhere and in Vancouver at Banyen Books. He can be contacted via his website, www.stephengrayvision.com

Alternative Living Series Presents: Crazy Sexy Cancer

Tuesday February 8th Eternal Abundance Cafe 8-10pm 5$ at the door

Crazy Sexy Cancer  is an irreverent and uplifting documentary about a young woman looking for a cure and finding her life.

In 2003, 31-year-old actress/photographer Kris Carr was diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer. Weeks later she began filming her story. Taking a seemingly tragic situation and turning it into a creative expression, Kris shared her inspirational story of survival with courage, strength, and lots of humor.

With experimental treatment as her only option, Kris became determined to find answers where there were none. She traveled throughout the country interviewing experts in alternative medicine as she tenaciously dove head first into a fascinating and often hilarious holistic world. Along the way, she met other vivacious young women determined to become survivors. Their stories are as poignant and exciting as the women who tell them. As Kris’s amazing journey unfolds, she realizes that healing is about truly living rather than fighting.

Crazy Sexy Cancer is more than a thought provoking film, it’s an attitude! It’s about rising to the challenge of life and turning lemons into champagne.

Animals, Miracles & God: Exploring Divine Communication with All Life

Friday, February 4th 7:30-9:30 PM at Eternal Abundance Cafe 1025 Commercial Drive

Imagine this:  “our only job in life is to be an Antenna!”

The Divine Intelligence communicates with us all the time and in very creative ways (often, with a sense of humour!). Communing with all kingdoms of life can be simple, immediate, and profound if we learn how to shift our awareness, sharpen our inborn intuitive gifts, and unlock the key to the sacred within.The animals are gentle teachers of living in the stillness of a given moment, practicing Unconditional Love, and offering Selfless Service. In their purity of simply be-ing they bring us closer to a sense of shared Oneness with all life.The Course in Miracles teaches that “the veil that has been drawn across reality is lifted” when we enter into a state of perfect communication with the source of all creation (or God). At this state of unity within we step into the magnitude that we are born to manifest as expression of God’s light.  ALL that is required of us is to ask the right questions, listen to guidance, and then act upon it!Join us for a talk followed by a discussion and sharing of stories on what animals teach us on concepts taught by A Course in Miracles, such as forgiveness, compassion, oneness, service; and how through our connection to animals we may come closer to one another and to God.Shiri Joshua, psychotherapist specializing in the human-animal bond and founder of S.O.U.L. Academy: School of Compassion (www.soulacademy.ca) will share insights from her work with animals and people, as well as from A Course in Miracles.”

Alternative Living Series Presents: Garbage Warrior

Tuesday, February 1st Eternal Abundance Cafe 8-10pm

5$ at the door

What do beer cans, car tires and water bottles have in common? Not much unless you’re renegade architect Michael Reynolds, in which case they are tools of choice for producing thermal mass and energy-independent housing. For 30 years New Mexico-based Reynolds and his green disciples have devoted their time to advancing the art of “Earthship Biotecture” by building self-sufficient, off-the-grid communities where design and function converge in eco-harmony. However, these experimental structures that defy state standards create conflict between Reynolds and the authorities, who are backed by big business. Frustrated by antiquated legislation, Reynolds lobbies for the right to create a sustainable living test site. While politicians hum and ha, Mother Nature strikes, leaving communities devastated by tsunamis and hurricanes. Reynolds and his crew seize the opportunity to lend their pioneering skills to those who need it most. Shot over three years and in four countries, Garbage Warrior is a timely portrait of a determined visionary, a hero of the 21st century.
