INTUITIVE DEVELOPMENT I:

AM session: Uncovering Your Hidden Talent
Rev. Carol E. Parrish and Katherine Zakutansky

Psychic ability is not a goal in itself; it is an integral part of spiritual development. Deepen your understanding of inner knowing as you learn to access higher levels of self. This class includes lectures, group work, and personal instruction with an emphasis on ethics and spiritual laws. Awaken new senses and become a conscious worker in harmony with inner awareness to better serve humanity and the higher world. This class is fun—for everyone is psychic!

PM session: Shustah Meditation Tools
Rev. Carol E. Parrish and Katherine Zakutansky

Shustah cards, designed to prompt natural intuition, enable one to establish communication between inner and outer perceptions. Symbols enhance meditation and divination as they connect us with archetypal energies. In this class, latent intuition awakens as instruction, experience with the symbols, and group work are provided. $30 materials fee

OR

PM session: Inner Symbols: The Language of Dreams and Meditation
Rev. Retha Banez

Discover and interpret your personal symbols as found in meditation and dreams. Few realize how connected dreams and psychic skills are, both exposing deep feelings, meanings, and concerns of the hidden nature. Participants learn ways to enrich themselves by means of symbols and inner exploration. This class provides an enjoyable combination of lecture, discussion, and exercises to help participants discover the significance of symbols in the inner and outer aspects of their lives.

June 22
Sunday, 3 - 5 PM: HEART/MIND BLESSING

During this blessing, the recipient remains fully clothed, lying on a healing table, while one of the ancient biblical healing oils is intuitively chosen for him or her. The ritual, inspired by the desire to be in resonance with the loving compassionate heart of God, establishes a connection and an energy balance between the heart and the mind. The blessing takes about 20 minutes and recipients make donations to support the work of the Wellness Center.

INTUITIVE DEVELOPMENT II:

AM session: Following Sophia, the Inner Guide
Rev. Carol E. Parrish and Katherine Zakutansky

Continuing the work of the previous week, participants explore natural psychic abilities with an internationally recognized intuitive. New energies unveil the mysteries of the feminine to help students recognize their innate gifts. Students exchange readings, practice various experiential techniques, and establish new confidence in their ever-expanding capabilities.
Note: For intuitive purposes, bring one or two photos of individuals you know well (one person to a picture).

PM session: The Art of Dowsing
Charles and Doris Pass

Through the powers within yourself, learn to attune to little-understood energies. Dowsing has been useful over the centuries for finding water, minerals, lost articles, and unknown pieces of information. This human capability has earned its place in this technical, sophisticated age. Learn to measure energy fields, answer questions, and discover influences in the world about us, using tools such as the pendulum, L rod, and Y rod. Field exercises will be included, weather permitting. This class is exciting and fun!

OR

PM session: Alive with Color!
Dawn Spangenberg

The colors you use in your home and wear have a powerful effect on your feelings, moods, and both physical and emotional health. Color can be used to bring energy back into balance in your home or work space and joy into your life. Students will be guided to play with their favorite colors and will walk away with a fresh sense of transforming home and life with color!

11-DAY TRAINING FOR PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION

PSYCHOGRAPHY: Regression and Spirit Releasement Therapies
Rev. Carol E. Parrish, Dr. Betty Carper, Rev. Robert Willson,
Rev. Sara Bunce, and Rev. Helen Weiser

Often called “healing of the memories,” psychography was developed by the late Rev. Dr. Franklin Loehr and is defined as the “mapping of the soul.” It has special appeal to therapists seeking an altered-state therapeutic approach that is not hypnotic. Designed to assist clients to recall and heal memories from this or a past life, this tool for personal and spiritual enhancement is documented by years of research. Experience your own past with new tools for personal healing plus supervised training.

Also, learn the forgotten healing work of the early Christian tradition: Spirit Releasement Therapy. Build skills needed to assist with complicated issues of freeing entities to bring healing of inner pain, release negative influences from the client’s body/mind, as well as other healing techniques.

This course offers regression therapy certification and qualifies practitioners for membership in the International Association for Regression Research and Therapies, Inc. (IARRT).
Counseling Week or its equivalent is a prerequisite for certification.
LIMITED TO 16 PARTICIPANTS
90 CEU hours for LCSW, ACSW, LADC (LPC & LMFT pending).
$1200 includes 11 days of theory and practice, 3 sessions daily;
housing, lunch, and dinner.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING II: Church is a Business
Rev. Carol Parrish and Team

We acknowledge four emerging types of ministry:

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 considerations of church management. This class is a must for those planning new ministries.

DISCOVERING THE WORK OF JOSE TRIGUEIRINHO
Rev. Carol Parrish and Rev. Brenda Cutrell

Trigueirinho, as he is known, founded Figueira, a monastery in Brazil, where he and approximately 100 others live, study, do healing work, create natural medicines, and publish books. His many varied activities always focus on the seeding of a new state of consciousness and distributing their agricultural produce, healing essences, clothing, tools and health education to the poorer population of the region. Service is a keynote of Figueira. Trigueirinho is one of the most published living authors in Portuguese and Spanish with some 70 books in print. A few have been translated into English and others are in the process of being translated.

Trigueirinho’s major concepts align with the Bailey materials; he taught these principles prior to his soul exchange. They are also in harmony with Agni Yoga teachings. They take us more into the future and prepare persons for facing the challenges and changes the new era may bring. Much of the work centers upon the inner realities, new planetary centers, new centers in the more subtle bodies and sound and silence as transformational tools. Our week will be exploratory and explanatory.

Carol and Jose have been correspondents since 1985; Brenda has been visiting Figueira since 2000 and is a member of the translating team. Both have enjoyed many visits to the Monastery and enjoy introducing the work and concepts rarely discussed with others. Please read Calling Humanity prior to this week for best comprehension. Come and see!
