Lecture: The Evolution of the Soul
By Mother Pratyangira (Amma) and Swami


$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away







Presentation Description:

This is a special opportunity to meet a saint and spiritual teacher. Mother Pratyangira, is visiting the U.S. from Singapore. She embodies the sacred feminine as Divine Mother. Since she is not so well known yet, this is a very special opportunity to get a close audience with her.

Amma and Swami share practical knowledge about lifting consciousness in our day-to-day lives. Their programs take attendees into very deep meditations, which many have found permanently transforming. Each program usually ends with every attendee getting brief one on one contact. Here they are able to more directly assist people with their conditions, usually energetically, but often through words as well; it can be quite profound.

Occasionally, Amma uses the sacred geometry and technology of the yantra to create a huge energy spot. People can then stand with her in the spot for healing and an expansion of the soul. It provides a rare opportunity to experience a rapid shift in consciousness.

The energy they carry is unique in the world right now. They've explained that their mission is to energetically help the planet transition into "Ekatvam" which you'll recognize as the word Krishna used in the Bhagavad Gita to describe the state of consciousness known as "oneness."


Presenter's Biography:

Amma and her husband, Swami, are two very Divine beings who are just becoming known in the United States. On their first US visit in late in 2004/05, they conducted a number of programs and were well received in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

"My vocation in this life is you. I have come to love you."

Lecture: Releasing the Soul on Four Levels
By Catherine J. Larkin

$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away








Presentation Description:

"The role of the healer is to release the soul so that it's life can flow." This quote by Alice Bailey is the first law of healing on all levels, including individual, ancestral, collective and planetary. Yet the very sensitivity of the soul allows it to become imprinted and stuck in patterns that block growth.

Drawing on the work of Bert Hellinger, A.H. Almaas, and my own experience as a soul level healer, we will explore how to free the soul and access the fullness of these levels. For while self-realization is about the unchanging truth of who we are, the changing unfoldment is the soul's realm. As Hellinger says, "The Greater Soul moves in only one direction and that is to bring into union that which has been made separate."


Presenter's Biography:

Catherine Jane Larkin, M.A., has 24 years experience as a healer, teacher and counselor. In 1989 she was certified in Self Attunement, which facilitates healing at the individual soul level. In 2002 this was extended to working with the family soul through the Bert Hellinger Family Constellations. Catherine is a gifted public speaker and integrates from a variety of fields.

Born in Iowa in 1952, Catherine's life long commitment to serving humanity has taken many forms. She has benefited from many teachers, including A. H. Almaas, Don Kolmar, Helen Luke, Marion Woodman, Adi Da, Gangaji, Catherine Ingram, MSI, Stan Grof and the Steps to Knowledge program. She graduated from Matthew Foxe's Institute of Crestion Centered Spirituality in 1983. Her articles have been published in Conscious Choice magazine in Chicago.

Catherine has traveled extensively to work with planetary energies, including 18 months in the United Kingdom, where her ancestral roots lie. She invites you to share her vision of calling forth the goodness of the human heart and the ancestral wisdom to be caretakers of the earth.

"There Are No Ordinary Moments."

"A beautifully crafted and enormously entertaining film that speaks to the strength and resiliency of the human spirit. Peaceful Warrior offers a powerful, yet rare glimpse, into the human soul. It reminds us what we are made of, reconnecting us to the power that lies within so that we feel and embrace it. See this film and it will impact the course of your life forever."

---Tony Robbins

"A lot of movies promise happiness, but most often it's the 'fleeting' happiness of a thrill ride, and when it's over, it's over; you feel empty, and begin searching for the next thrill.

Very few movies actually question what happiness is, or suggest ways that it can be sustained. Peaceful Warrior asks this question and in doing so takes you out of your mind, and those who would consider themselves sane would be 'out of their minds' not to see it. Peaceful warrior is an important film, an inspiring film, and a film that could change lives."

---Sting

Monday Evening, September 18, 2006, 7-9 PM

Come join us for a panel of Ashland's top astrologers as we explain the basics of understanding your astrological chart.

This will be a beginner friendly talk and we'll build on a useful metaphor: the planet shows "what'" energy is available; the sign shows "how" that energy is expressed, and the house shows "where" in your life a particular energy is accessed.

Even if you're not a beginner, come join us for a chance to ask questions of a wise, playful, eloquent and dedicated group of astrologers doing what they love most - bringing the stars down to earth.

(We are mostly kidding with our title - this is a panel of experienced, serious astrologers who also know how to have fun!)"

Astrology in Ashland, The Southern Oregon Chapter of the National Council for Geocosmic Research (SONCGR). We hold public meetings on the 3rd Monday of each month, September through May.

Lecture: Managing Your Inner Critic
By Dean Shrock, Ph.D.


$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away







Presentation Description:

The Inner Critic is a voice that develops within you that echoes the concerns of your family, community, and culture. The inner critic absorbs these constant judgments and expectations of others, and begins to feel like a natural part of yourself. It is born in an attempt to protect you and keep you safe from pain and shame.

However, what was originally supposed to protect you and promote your general well-being is now making you self-conscious, awkward, and fearful of making a mistake. The original intent of the inner critic gets lost, and its basic message becomes: There is something wrong with you unless you conform to the values and beliefs of your family of origin or risk losing their love. This barrage of self-criticism is a desperate attempt to be accepted, succeed, and adapt to the world around you.

Since the inner critic has its beginnings in relationships (What will others think?), it will continue to affect all of your relationships, such that you will find yourself attracted to and surrounded by people with your socially disapproved and disowned selves. Your inner critic believes that these shadow sides of yourself must be suppressed, when what they really need is to be acknowledged and integrated.

Feeling vulnerable, anxious, or upset always underlies your critic. Attend this presentation and learn how to turn your inner critic into an ally, and achieve greater peace of mind and health.

Workshop: How to Develop Your Intuition
By Dean Shrock, Ph.D.



Cost: $45.00 at the door





Workshop Description:

Intelligence is defined as a rational, thinking principle as a way to understand things, where all knowledge is derived by pure reason. Intuition is defined as a power of the mind to perceive the truth without reason or analysis. Both are valid means to determine truth. One attempts to be very objective and measurable, as in scientific research. The other is highly subjective: You just "know". How can both be true?

The fact is that 60% of Americans report that faith is the most important influence in their lives. Yet faith by definition is the conviction that a thing unproved by evidence is true. Approximately 2/3 of Americans report having experienced ESP. Nearly 1/2 of American adults believe they have been in contact with someone who has died. About 1/2 of Americans believe that their pet dogs respond to their thoughts. Statistically this suggests that if you are purely rational or scientific, you're not normal!

Intuition is a fact of life. And it can be developed as certainly as any formal education approach attempts to develop your rational mind. Actually, many of the greatest "thinkers" in history have concluded that intuition is the basis of truth.

Attend this workshop and learn to develop this natural part of who you are. Many methods, from hypnosis to meditation, have demonstrated that you can access a "subconscious" or "superconscious." All spiritual philosophies claim that we have all of the answers, all knowledge, within ourselves.

Dr. Shrock has studied, practiced, and taught intuition for more than 30 years. Like any ability, you become better with practice and discipline. This workshop will be mostly experiential, and no matter what your experience or ability has been, you will learn to access and use your intuition.

Lecture: "Flame of Joy - Flame of Life" - An Artist's Path
With Bettina Madini


$5.00 - 20.00 Suggested donation, everyone welcome, no one turned away








Presentation Description:

We all are artists, in many different ways. Life is an art. It is based on our creative energies that need to flow freely in and out, like the tides. Allowing this free flow is a challenge for many of us. We knew freedom when we were children. We were able to get excited, joyful and playful within a second and nothing could hold us back and we forgot about the world around us. Until we received the first crucial messages and "shrunk". Thus, emerged in our daily life and society, we forgot our dreams, we forgot our symbols, we forgot about the magic in life. We "learned" what is appropriate for us to do in order to be "accepted and loved".

The good news is, though: Nothing is lost! We can find back our inner light if we choose so, through the fog and the veil of forgetting. The fact still is and has never changed: We all are most powerful beings of light that chose to make an experience in a physical body on this beautiful planet Earth. And we can choose how we want this experience to be.

We can open up the channels and give away whatever blocks them to finally be re-connected to Source. We can choose to live a life of JOY. Where JOY is our guide, where JOY is the pulling force from our open heart. We can choose to live our most beautiful dreams, here and now. We can choose to re-discover the intensity of life. We can choose to BE who we are: Free Spirit.

Bettina will share her experiences of "breaking through the walls" and stepping into her freedom to live her dreams.

Bring an open heart, your joyful spirit and a smile on your face.


Presenter's Biography:

Bettina Madini was born in Berlin, Germany, shortly after John F. Kennedy gave his famous speech declaring, "I am a Berliner". Berlin has not been the same since, for both reasons.

Bettina spent her years growing up in Germany and dabbled in modeling and acting, developing an interest in the fine arts. She then moved to Luxemburg, pursuing a career in one of the most important financial centers of Europe. However this was not enough to keep her interested, as she found herself spending more time in nature, taking art classes at the "Ecole d'Art Contemporain" in Luxemburg and singing lessons at the Conservatory of Music in Luxemburg.

Bettina developed a nice collection of original watercolors and acrylics that eventually culminated in her 2001 world premiere showing at "Konschthaus beim Engel", a gallery in Luxemburg.

In 2003, Bettina jumped the big pond and landed in New York City, taking classes at the National Academy School of Fine Arts, where she further developed her artistic skills in painting and drawing. In addition, Bettina is currently taking voice lessons with Barbara Stephan at the Hartland Conservatory of Music to further her artistic pursuits as a singer and vocalist. Bettina has also taken professional voice lessons with Miriam Arman in New York City.

Bettina is likewise a creator of wearable art and natural jewelry. She has created a name to umbrella all of her artistic pursuits, which is "Earth Angel Productions".

To balance the intensity of being a world class artist, Bettina has her home in rural Wisconsin, gleaming nature and the heavens for inspiration. She continues to create and at times her voice can be heard floating through the woods.
