Birth: Implications on The Soul

♦ how we are conditioned throughout pregnancy by vibrations, not conscious thought,

♦ careless or hostile attitudes, as well as words, imprint on each of us.

THE AWAKENED YOU IS THE AUTHENTIC SELF
Class Cancelled
Sherry Robertson, MPS ATR, OTR/L

Our right hemisphere contains secrets waiting to be revealed for each of us. We will discover new keys to our own uniqueness through a wide variety of Creative Art experiments. This class is designed to nurture the Inner Self and discover new talents and expression. Remember one of the mysteries of Sophia is play. Come prepared to indulge the nymph within.

Sherry Robertson is a registered art therapist and a registered, Florida licensed Occupational Therapist. She has an Occupational Therapy degree from the University of Florida and a Masters degree in Art Therapy from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY. She has also studied the use of mandala drawings as a tool to assist one in the understanding of archetypal symbols that often emerge when one is engaged in deep inner work. Sherry has a deep understanding of the powerful effect that making art can have in our lives, bringing not only healing of personality levels but in providing sacred space that allows deep transformation leading to soul initiations.

AGNI YOGA, THE 21ST CENTURY WAY
Revs. Carol E. Parrish, & Roberta Wilkes

A modern approach to spirituality, Agni Yoga emphasizes the daily practice of ethical living, devotion, and purification of our physical, emotional, and mental bodies. Formation and application of a living ethic and development of virtues in the personality are based on a series of themes, not rigid disciplines. Students learn to integrate ideology, theology, and service into their lives. The Agni path affirms the importance of meditation to the work of clearing glamours and illusions to connect to our inner wisdom. Connections of these enigmatic teachings to Kabalah and the Bailey materials will also be explored.

30 CEU’s are available for this course, and counselors are invited to attend to earn ethics credit.

$250/275, includes lunch

Required Shustah materials cost an additional $30.

$100 includes lunch

ESOTERIC PSYCHOLOGY
Revs. Margaret Stephens & Brenda Cutrell

During this week, students will explore the evolution of the psyche from its identity as personality to its identity as soul.

LEADERSHIP II: Church as a Business
Revs. Carol E. Parrish, Cynthia McGinnis & Roberta Wilkes, plus others

We acknowledge five emerging types of ministries:

♦ the Pastor who loves, visits and nurtures;

♦ the Minister-Scholar who serves a congregation, with teaching as a major emphasis;

♦ the Theologian who defines intimate systems of belief and spiritual law;

♦ the Prophet-Seer who intuits the unfolding inner nature and guides humanity into the future.

We acknowledge the historic pattern of the Holy Spirit, Sophia, guiding humanity through the ages to this rich new era. As we prepare ourselves, we are shaping a response to the inner call.

Many years of experience in church effort forms the foundation for this class, which offers both inspiration and practical know-how in such areas as church structures (including how to become an LCCC charter), simple legal and tax considerations, bookkeeping, and day-to-day operations. Participants identify their personal styles as they learn strategic planning, public relations, advertising, and the ethical consideration of church management. This class is a must for those planning new ministries.

29th ANNUAL HOMECOMING AND CONFERENCE
Monday - Sunday, November 8 - 14, 2010

Friday & Saturday November 12 - 13: CONFERENCE PRESENTATION

Special Guest Presenter: Søren Hauge, Ph.D.
The Chalice of the Higher We

In our evolution as sentient beings, we have been traveling through certain major experiences in the landscape of consciousness. First of all we have passed through vast plains of mass consciousness, and we are still very familiar with these areas. Later we encountered new continents and visited the valleys and summits of individual consciousness that still have a deep impact in our lives. And now we gradually approach the mostly uncharted territory of emerging group consciousness, or the Higher We. Our journey has brought us from the instinctual-emotional phase to a more and more intellectual-rational stage. From isolated individualism we now seek to regain the connectedness without losing our uniqueness. This crucial phase, the struggle to attain the emerging nature of the new heart-mind group consciousness, is a major spiritual challenge of the 21st Century.

How can we create the group-heart, the group-mind and the group-body of the future? How can we together build the Chalice of the Higher We and embody planetary, enlightened compassion? This is our focus and we will explore it through teaching, meditation and group-dynamics.

$125, Both Days
