Gaia

Collaboration with Gaia: Nature Spirits, Faeries, and the Sidhe with Zing Nafzinger

"Gaia" is a shorthand way of describing the living energy, or entity, which contains our planet Earth and the world we humans experience upon it. It is multidimensional, from the life within every individual atom to the etheric blueprints of every manifestation on the Earth to humanity's emotional and mental potentials and the bridge of spiritual connection holding all of this within Source. We will be meditating on our individual contributions to the raising of vibrations of this precious web of life and our connection to nature spirits, faeries, and our invisible cousins, the Sidhe.

The 5 Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine: How Your Personality Determines Your Health

Presented by Catherine Davis

You may know what Acupuncture is, or you may have heard of meridians before, but have you ever heard of the 5 Elements? In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these elements symbolize not only the specific organ systems that work within the body, but also relate the main personality archetypes. And science is just beginning to catch on. Research has shown for decades that the seven main types of cancers have a higher probability with certain personality trait archetypes. Avoidance of conflict, emotional suppression, altruistic behavior, significant suppression of anger, and those who suffer PTSD all fall into these categories. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is a key example of the Wood Element becoming imbalanced, stagnating emotions, energy, blood, and tissue, causing growth of tumors. If you want to learn how your personality traits may be setting you up for disease in the future, or are already creating a significant impact on your body, join us for this information packed presentation on the 5 Elements!

The Healing Wisdom of Grief: A Meditative Practice Towards Peace

Presented by Catherine Davis

Have you ever wondered why certain medications cause side effects? Or why you are on a specific dose that seems to need to continuously be increased over time? What if I were to tell you that pharmaceutical medication ISN’T fixing the problem? Western Medicine has segregated the functions of the body into individual parts, completely forgetting and often disregarding the fact that they function together as one, cohesive unit… at least, that’s how the body is SUPPOSED to function. By learning and remembering that our Mind, Body and Spirit, are one, we can rapidly accelerate our healing, and eradicate discomfort and disease from our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. To learn how your body ACTUALLY functions, and how to REALLY heal, join us for this easy-to-understand presentation on Functional Medicine!

The Soul – A Master Gardener – Home Base

Presented by Rev. Ingrid Jolly

Our special call during this crucial time is to truly meet our Master Gardener, our Soul. Our aura is the bridge that leads into the etheric realm of the soul and its infinite wisdom can gradually be accessed. How do we achieve this and where is the "garden and home base"?

"In the inner garden consciousness the soul secretly nurtures flowering qualities whose fragrant joy never fades."
–Paramahansa Yogananda

As such, the living light of the soul will burn brightly and will grow stronger and stronger in its golden flame. Its sparks will set alive all hitherto hidden potential, all unrecognized talents and abilities will become obvious to the conscious mind. Ability will reveal itself when suddenly confronted with a new and different circumstance and/or tasks that require the application of an intuitive mind. To find a solution to an impossible problem - to find a mathematical equation that was hitherto impossible to reach. The soul consists of an unlimited energy, in supply and in application because its source is eternal. Do come and join me and find out how the soul and its spirit can guide, guard and protect us and thereby serve the greater purpose of evolution.
