There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America -- a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat. THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. Crop Circles Are they a hoax? Learn more about them. Approximately 1½ hours. Wal-Mart - The High Cost of Low Price WAL-MART: THE HIGH COST OF LOW PRICE is a feature length documentary that uncovers a retail giant's assault on families and American values. The film dives into the deeply personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling to fight a goliath. A working mother is forced to turn to public assistance to provide healthcare for her two small children. A Missouri family loses its business after Wal-Mart is given over $2 million to open its doors down the road. A mayor struggles to equip his first responders after Wal-Mart pulls out and relocates just outside the city limits. A community in California unites, takes on the giant, and wins! Sex, Intimacy, and its Relationship with Soul This talk is about relating, about trying to fill ourselves with someone or something that completes us and makes us feel whole. It is about sex or our attempts at union and our desire for completion. Some topics include: celibacy, homosexuality, co-dependence, addiction, and loneliness. We will talk about how lives change as we get more intimate with Soul. Soul of Money Through examining our attitudes toward money – earning it, spending it, and giving it away we can arrive at surprising insights into our lives, our values, and the essence of prosperity. Through discussion and watching a 30 minute spiritual movie on karma, we will come to understand the fullness of this universal law in our lives and learn how we can live in greater cooperation and harmony in it. Meditation is an invitation, a gift that we give ourselves to live Life. Come meditate and learn about the physiological and the psychological benefits of meditating. A conscious approach to putting certain practices into our daily life in order to maintain centeredness, balance and alignment. Results are amazing! Making your Life more Meaningful Meaning comes from looking more deeply into things, - perceiving that which is not obvious. It brings a depth, and even a sense of purpose. This discussion will leave you with tools that you can immediately apply to gain greater meaning in your life. The Forces Within - the Chakras Come learn more about the chakras, the centres of force within the body. Let’s take the mystery out of this subject. There is much interest these days in the process of dying. What exactly happens? Where do we go? Is it painful? Why do we fear it so much? Let’s talk about this subject that so many people refrain from discussing. Countless books have been written based on “know thyself”. Do you really know yourself? What comprises your constitution? Why do you behave as you do? Through discussion and slides we will try to shine a little light unto this huge subject. Water has a very important message for us. Water is telling us to take a much deeper look at ourselves. When we do look at ourselves through the mirror of water, the message becomes amazingly, crystal, clear. We know that human life is directly connected to the quality of our water, both within and all around us. Masaru Emoto, a creative and visionary Japanese researcher has published a book, "The Message from Water,". If you have any doubt that your thoughts affect everything in, and around you, the results, will change your mind and alter your beliefs, profoundly.We will be viewing a 30 minute movie. Consciousness and Higher Dimensions Together we will explore the many aspects and dimensions of Consciousness

Sciences in professional healing practices and their influence
on everyday life. There will be demonstrations & analysis of

A hands-on 6 week course with experiential tools that can be used practically:
The universe may be a mystery but it is no secret. This six week course is for people who ask and want answers about life. It will offer a framework for understanding the big picture, our place in it, and the choices we have to manifest our potential. Each week we will explore a piece of the mystery through a number of philosophical presentations of Truth. Through this course you will gain perspective, understanding and broaden your own horizons. You will find yourself reclaiming forgotten spiritual values and understanding the larger questions in life. This is a practical 8-week program where you can reap enormous benefits. The latest scientific research in the last fifteen years has made an amazing discovery about the function of the heart and why we should pay particular attention to it. Eckhart Tolle makes a strong case that the inability of humans to free themselves from dominance by the mind and live in the present is the root cause for misery in the world. It is a reminder to be truly present in our own lives and liberated from our past and future. It can transform your thinking. The result? More joy, right now! This book has been one of the best selling books everywhere as well as at the Centre’s bookstore. The writing is clear as a bell; the words ring true. This is truly an exceptional book that promises to make a real difference in people’s lives. Come join us in group study. “Reminded me to live for the present,
forget the past, and let tomorrow take care of itself!” “The course and conversations on the
Power of Now have given me the power of acceptance of all situations
and the gift of peace that comes with practiced surrender. It spoke
of concepts I knew, but didn’t know I knew.” "The Power of Now course was most beneficial
to me. It helped ground me and continues to keep me from worrying.
I had always been somewhat of a “What if” person
which meant that I was projecting into the future instead of
enjoying the moment. This course literally took away some of
my fears i.e. flying, not enough money, etc. I moved from an intellectual
knowledge of knowing flying was safe but fearing it anyway, to
letting go, to surrendering, which brought an enjoyable experience." The Self-Awareness Lecture and Discussion Series are on-going classes based on esoteric principles that offer ways and means to live more consciously. The evenings offer a variety of different subjects from psychological, philosophical and just plain practical, all with the theme of providing food for thoughts and methods for living more effectively and in greater awareness. These classes are for those that have no metaphysical background as well as for those with esoteric knowledge. Esoteric Astrology is the astrology of consciousness. Esoteric means "that which is hidden" and in this case, the hidden is the Soul. The soul in its wisdom is seeking to use the influences of the planets and signs to further its growth, and to achieve its lighted ends. Therefore, the study of esoteric astrology is the study of the soul in incarnation, its challenges, its strengths, its victories: its past. Astrology is the study of the relationship of all the planets in the heavens to each other, how they influence each other, and thereby influence us and our lives. Astrology can be predictive, revealing, life enhancing, and it can be used as a very practical tool for growth. The natal chart, or horoscope is our personal map revealing the soul purpose for a particular lifetime. This seven-week course begins the important and empowering process of learning how to read this map. This multi-week course will offer you the basics in astrology, how it works, why it works. You will also receive a better understanding of what makes you tick and how to better work with your own energies. Meditation is easy once you know what to do. This class is designed to provide an introduction to the practice of meditation. Our hope is that the course will empower you to embrace meditation and make a practice that suits your lifestyle and personal needs. The class draws from Raja Yoga and Buddhist techniques. Each week will focus on one aspect of meditation, thus providing a step-by-step experiential process for you. Anyone can meditate. You just have to decide to do so. The Kabbalah is the mystical aspect of Judaism. It means 'that which is received'. The Tree of Life is a schematic that is a gift from the Kabbalistic tradition. It is considered to be a map of consciousness that illustrates so beautifully the precipitation of spirit into matter. Much can be received through the study of this compelling diagram. In conjunction with the Tree of Life we will also investigate:
As with all traditions, the Kabbalah offers to its students an opportunity to understand the relationship of spirit, soul and matter as spirit descends into the depths of everyday living and as matter ascends towards the heavens. This process will be explored through visuals and rich symbolism. This multi-week class is a primer in basic thoughts and concepts used in most spiritual disciplines and philosophical presentations of Truth. It is a look into Spirit, Soul, Matter; the evolution of Consciousness; and ultimately how we can live a happier and more fulfilled life. This class is for people who ask about life. Each week will explore and esoteric or metaphysical subject. We will also mediate each class. During the week you will be asked to implement some of these teachings so that they can become practical and useful in your life. Through this course you will gain perspective and understanding. You will find yourself reclaiming forgotten spiritual values and understanding the larger questions in life. This course focuses on the esoteric teachings related to the art and science of White Magic, which is another name for Soul Magic. Participants will follow the spiritual path of the White Magician and learn to apply the spiritual laws that govern the wielding of magical powers that heal, uplift, and transform. This course is both theoretical and experiential, so you will
have the opportunity to apply the learning by creating Soul Magic
in your own life. |
We all are seeking lives that bring us fulfillment and meaning. This workshop offers a tremendous opportunity for understanding more about ourselves: our traits, driving forces and behaviours. It will illumine why we respond the way that we do to events and people in our lives. This dynamic, interactive, colourful workshop offers profound insights into one's individuality on several levels: physical, emotional and mental. Through understanding our selves we can identify unhealthy patterns in our lives and transform them into constructive and more conscious ways of moving. This workshop is based on Alice Bailey's science of the Seven Rays (7 colours of the rainbow, or 7 notes on a music scale). This teaching from the Ageless Wisdom will help us discover the call or note of our Soul so we can work in a way that best expresses who we really are. If you are a student of Life, whatever your profession; What you will learn is a language of the energies alive in the world around you and within you. Truly you will discover the Self. "Extremely valuable in understanding my own natural tendencies
... and why and how I relate to others in my life." "A deeper understanding of myself appeared. This is an
opportunity of unlocking the mystery of how people tick." "I found this information to be very clear and sensible.
Understanding the Rays helps me understand me!" The Seven Rays:

Kundalini and Consciousness Kundalini - We all have heard the word, but what is it really? Can we control it or use it for processes of Awakening? When a farmer asked the radiant Buddha if he was a god, an angel, or some divine being, the Buddha replied that He was merely Awake. How can we effectively bring more awake-ness into our life? How can we illumine our own way? This two-day seminar is rich, full, experiential, and taught by someone who deeply understands the ins and outs of the subtle systems, the psychological implications of those systems, and how to safely and powerfully work with them. You will learn more about and gain experience with:
