Description:

A WEEKEND OF DEEKSHA EVENTS WITH SWEDEN'S ANETTE CARLSTROM

Deeksha has a very strong hold in Anette's homeland of Sweden. Anette Carlstrom's breakthrough in consciousness began in January 2003 and is a profound indicator of what is possible when we receive this very special energy. She will joyfully share the benefits, process and the effects of Deeksha in her own life and what it offers to each of us. Anette has traveled Europe, Russia and Asia giving Deeksha programs. She has also authored a book, filmed a DVD and recorded 3 CD's.

The Mayan Calendar is approaching a significant time known as The 5th Day (Nov.23, 2006). Anette recently joined the esteemed Dr Carl Calleman, the definitive expert on the Mayan Prophecy, for a joint event. She will share this exciting work and the about the upcoming event on Nov. 23rd (Thanksgiving Day).

Deeksha is celebrated as 'an intelligent, sacred energy transfer that infuses the receivers' life with the experience of inner peace and joy'. The effect is cumulative and deepens with each deeksha. By quieting the mind, Deeksha allows the power of this Grace to unfold to the receiver as an experience of oneness and unity with life as it releases feelings of separation and suffering. This energy enhances our ability to connect our individual experience with the heart of the Divine and to share this with the people in our lives; the people we love. This universal energy enhances all spiritual paths and traditions.

As Anette chants and speaks, we will be immersed in this loving energy during the entire evening. To experience unconditional love and peace has been the sacred quest of millennia. Now it is being offered through Deeksha as a Gift of Grace. Our personal goals for joy and inner peace will be deeply enriched during these two evenings!

AND Angelika Shafer is joining us for both evenings! Angelika's voice and music thrill her ardent audiances! Lilting and heartfelt, she shares from the deep spiritual connection of her life. She travels the world sharing Deeksha through her music. Her many CD's will be availble at these events. See www.angelikahealingmusic.com.

Presented by: Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library, Ashland Chi Healing Center and Unity in Ashland.

Workshop: SACRED CHANTS: An evening of devotional songs and sacred sounds with crystal singing bowls
With Gilla




Suggested donation $5.00 - 20.00, no one turned away





Workshop Description:

Join us for an evening of well being, wholeness and expansion as Gila
demonstrates the power of the human voice and the magic of crystal
singing bowls to move energy and release blocks.

Using her strong melodic voice as a sound healing instrument, she
expertly weaves ancient prayers and mantras with the pure tone of
crystal singing bowls moving the listener to the subtleties of the
etheric realms where old patterns are released and infinite
possibilities are born.

Tonight we will attune to the energies of ancient Egyptian and Hebrew
lineages, co-creating a sound field that facilitates the opening of the
heart. Gila will also chant songs to the divine beloved from selections
of King Solomon's Song of Songs, presencing the energies of ecstatic
union through the portal of the heart.


Presenter's Biography:

Gila is a sound healer, energy practitioner and performing artist. Throat
surgery in childhood left her voice damaged and scarred. She points out
that her damaged voice was "the least of her problems" and that the
power of sound was revealed to her as she was seeking to recover from a
serious blood condition.

A native of the Middle East, Gila comes from a family of renowned
cantors. Her work has been described as transcendent, blissful and
transformative.

"Gila manifests sound as powerful, ancient and ever present! Let her
guide you to the threshold of inner exploration." Don Campbell, Author
of THE MOZART EFFECT.

Workshop: Sound Healing Earth Gong Bath
With Richard Rudis

Tickets: $20.00


"Infuse Yourself With Sacred Sound"

An unforgettable event to soothe, inspire, heal and awaken your spirit with Sound Pioneer and recording artist Richard Rudis (Sonam Dorje). Sonam creates transformational healing waves of sound bathing each participant with the rising and falling rhythms, tonalities and vibrations of a huge 38-inch Earth Gong tuned to the sound of the primordial AUM - the 'Universal Chord'; the vibrational signature of our mother Earth (Ghia) as it dances with our Sun (Sol).


Presenter's Biography:

Richard Rudis is an American practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism. He is the owner of the Illuminarium Convergence and BuddhistArtifacts.com retail locations specializing in Sacred Eastern Artifacts and Dharma teachings. He has studied Eastern philosophy, both in the States and in Asia, for over twenty years. When last in Tibet he took refuge in the Buddha via His Holiness Karmapa and was given the name Sonam Dorje; (Meritorious Thunderbolt). He has been teaching, across the US, Dharma/vibrational healing workshops with the Himalayan Sacred Sound Instruments and their healing potential for over ten years. He is considered most Knowledgeable in this esoteric field and is part of the film STUPA produced by the University of Connecticut in Storrs.

Here are some comments from sponsors and participants of Richard Rudis's workshops and seminars:


"Richard Rudis is an extraordinary faculty member and facilitator. His expertise in the area of Tibetan sound healing and his experiential teaching style give students the opportunity to explore and experience sound vibrational healing fully immersed. His grounded, yet gentle teaching style encourages dialogue and opens up students to discover how they can best benefit for the variety of sounds he produces from his incredible gong and other Tibetan sacred instruments. Richard Rudis is a sound treat not to be missed."

Nancy Grace Marder
Executive Director
http://www.infinityfoundation.org

"Here in Chicago we are all still vibrating from your visit. It was such a unique time with you here, somehow a group was pulled together around you and your visit that was really wonderful. I would love to continue to study with you. I found the sounds and the bowls a very profound catalyst. I have felt myself sensitive to a deeper reality - aware of the ephemeral and the eternal more acutely. And although I am still swamped at times by the nature of human experience, I am also open to being entertained and less attached."

-Bonnie Winer

"This whole sacred sound experience has felt very much like an attunement. The bowls have really allowed me to release blockages quickly and maintain a clearer state. My whole body really seems to be vibrating lately, and I can move so quickly but also relax more easily and bring the energy to my hara. Thank you again for your contributions to my journey."

-Edward Farnham

"Thank you so much for the amazing gong baths and 2 days of training in Seattle!! I have always been drawn to bells, bowls, gongs, but did not really have knowledge of their history and how the Tibetan's use them for healing I bought tingshaws and two bowls from you and have been working with all of them on myself. The bowl really has wonderful tones. It transports me into a meditative state easily. Your music and the workshop have touched me deeply. Thank you so much."

-Renee Schenck, WA


"As a recent arrival in the area, I was just "blown away" by your gong bath. I was buzzing until Sunday. Thanks for such a sensitive and powerful performance (?) or better: transmission."

-Sieglinde Merwin , CA

Workshop: Searching for the Waters of Antiquity
Harness Your Personal Power with Meditation
By Shirley Ryan


Cost: $30.00 at the door






Workshop Description:

Cognitive scientists and educators, health-care practitioners and spiritual seekers have long touted the benefits of meditation for physical and emotional healing, as well as for heightened awareness and mental function. Executive coach and meditation instructor SHIRLEY RYAN has developed a way to acquire these benefits without learning the complicated breathing and focusing techniques usually required by formal meditation programs. Instead, she uses a form of guided meditation, which is the main idea behind her book, "Searching for the Waters of Antiquity: A Follow-Along Meditation Process"

Guided meditation works by helping the practitioner focus on a desired outcome rather than striving to eliminate daily worries and thoughts. In her guided meditations, Ryan uses symbols, metaphors, archetypes, and colorful illustrations to help the reader gain access to a part of the brain that allows us to be more receptive to the goals of making decisions, asking questions, and unblocking obstacles.

At one level, Searching for the Waters of Antiquity is an allegorical tale of Tag, a young turtle on a quest to unlearn the things that prevent him from enjoying life to the fullest. On a second level, it is a guided meditation that takes us to places within the self that we rarely go in the course of our daily lives. Through the character of Tag, the reader moves through four stages, learning the lessons of each in order to live a more peaceful, enriched life:

1. Love: We learn that, at some level, we are all equal and one with the universe.
2. Compassion: We give others our understanding, letting them be who they are at any given moment in time.
3. Affection: We learn to give acceptance to everyone we meet through our words and deeds.
4. Impartiality: We learn to detach and distance ourselves from our own specific wants and desires and become open to the best outcome for all involved.

Those who have read Searching for the Waters of Antiquity have reported feeling clearer, lighter, and more at peace, and some were moved to do powerful soul searching afterward. Other benefits to the reader include how to: confront the fears that keep us stuck, trust ourselves and silence our inner critic, take risks and embrace the unknown, shift our focus from physical to spiritual living, identify and unlearn beliefs and behaviors that keep us in fear, guilt, and separation from others, visualize and move closer to our potential, and feel less burdened.

Searching for the Waters of Antiquity is designed to tap into the child within each of us. Unfortunately, many of us have become disconnected from our own pure, childlike nature by letting societal, work, and family obligations, as well as stressors such as worries about money and time, keep us from experiencing joy, passion, and the true meaning in life. Ryan offers an appealing way to access self-knowledge. Business people, health-care professionals, educators, people with challenging medical conditions, and parents will all benefit from accompanying the little turtle Tag on this journey toward our true selves.


Presenter's Biography:

Growing up from humble beginnings in a public housing project, Shirley Ryan challenged tremendous odds and overcame obstacles and adversity, including child abuse. A fighter from the start, this 4'10'' dynamo has persevered, survived, and ultimately thrived, pursuing her goals with grace and dignity.

Shirley's educational path began with an early ESL program in primary school. Progressing without assistance programs, she went on to receive a BS from the University of San Francisco and a master's degree, focusing on human relations in both organizational development and family systems, from the University of Oklahoma.

Even though meditation has been a part of Shirley's life for over 30 years, it wasn't until she used meditation before and during her own major surgery in 1990 that she was moved to integrate meditation into her own identity. She has incorporated meditation into her spiritual healing practices with great success and has used and taught the process to clients ever since. In addition, she has created a set of meditation CDs for patients to play during surgery, designed to help relieve pain and quicken the healing process.

Today, as a trained therapist, life coach, and behavior specialist, Shirley seeks to assist others to reach their next level. She is also the founder of Working Together, a business specializing in coaching the management of mind, body, and spiritual change. She has been featured in radio and press interviews internationally and has received critical acclaim for Searching for the Waters of Antiquity.

Shirley enjoys workshop facilitation and public speaking, and she devotes much of her spare time to painting, writing, and designing spiritual gardens. Along with her husband Robert, she also happily enjoys her role as a grandmother to three bright, active teenagers in Northern California.

Lecture: To Function as a Soul: The Enneagram and the Restoration of the Mysteries
By Carl Marsak



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






Presentation Description:

The Enneagram is an ancient and sacred diagram that describes nine distinct and fundamentally different personality or character types ("Ennea" is Greek for nine, and "gram" means point or letter). Study and practice of this profound and powerful system helps one to identify and move beyond non-productive habits of body, speech and mind, increases compassion for self and others, and effectively integrates psychological and spiritual life.

There is an International Enneagram Association, and dozens of books, articles and websites outlining the basics of what has become known as the Enneagram of Personality. And yet more esoteric information and wisdom is contained within the symbol than is commonly reported and discussed in the available literature and trainings. This presentation and later workshop will explore how the Enneagram can be used as a map, guide and tool for entrance into the journey of initiation, and what the ancients called the Mysteries.


Presenter's Biography:

Carl Marsak, M.A. founded The Enneagram Center of Mt. Shasta in 2003, creating a place where spiritual tradition and modern psychology can meet and weave together their respective insights and gifts. He has graduate degrees in Religious Studies (NYU) and Social and Cultural Anthropology (CIIS) and has been studying the Enneagram since 1987. In addition, he has been professionally certified by Helen Palmer and David Daniels, M.D. as an Enneagram teacher in the Narrative Tradition. Carl is a professional member of the International Enneagram Association and the Association for Transpersonal Psychology, and has published several articles in The Enneagram Monthly. He travels extensively, teaching the Enneagram of Personality to groups and individuals, as well as offering private typing interviews and spiritual counseling.

Lecture: Impressions of South India and the Auroville Community
By Kim Keller and Wolfgang Schmidt-Reinecke, MA

Admission: $5.00

Description:

In February, 2006, Kim, a group of friends and the Honoring All Life Foundation hosted an evening in Ashland entitled "India Awareness." This event raised over $8,000 for allocation to the villages in the southern most tip of India. These Villages had lost much of their water supply due to the 2004 Tsunami. Kim has just returned from three weeks in India where the actual water projects have now begun. She would like to share with you the progress of the projects as well as her impressions and thoughts of this magical country.

A famous name related to this part of the south Indian coast is the international Auroville community with 2000 inhabitants from all over the world. Auroville played a important role too in helping the Tsunami affected villages. Wolfgang presents a film about this amazing community and tells about its present visions and realities.

Wolfgang Schmidt-Reinecke moved from Germany to Ashland this year. He is a author and journalist and a frequent visitor of the international Auroville Community in South India. Wolfgang is offering an insider tour to Auroville.

This Week's Subject: "Finding our way in Turbulent Times" with special guest Sharif Abdullah
(See also Sharif's lecture at SOU on Saturday Nov. 18 7:00pm http://www.rvml.org/calendar/wc11162006.htm#1236)

Presentation Description:

The irony of our times: Things are getting worse and worse, and better and better, faster and faster. With these inspirational topics, Sharif helps us make sense of an increasingly complex and turbulent world. Sharif explores the personal and social visions that guide our society. He outlines how we can move from an "American Dream" that works for only a few Americans, to a "Global Dream" that works for all.

"CREATING A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR ALL"- A world that works for all? What does that sound like to you?

A utopian fantasy
A noble vision
An impossibility
A path to sustainability
An unattainable goal
A path to our future

Using his award-winning book as a foundation, Sharif provides a compelling picture of our present overwhelming and interlocking crises -- social, cultural, political, ecological and spiritual.

Our present society is too dysfunctional, too complex, too brutal to be reformed. We have created a world that works for only a few.

However, Sharif's presentation is not just a litany of gloom and doom. Sharif presents a unique way out of our world dilemma: by changing how we THINK, we can change our communities, our nation and our world. Our world is shaped by our beliefs: change the underlying beliefs and the world will be changed.

By committing to a powerful vision, we can gain the strength and will to face the difficult times ahead. Right now, with the resources currently available to us, we can begin to create a world that works for all beings.


Presenter's Biography:

Sharif Abdullah is a leading proponent and catalyst for inclusive social, cultural and spiritual transformation. Sharif's life and work has been featured in a number of books and publications, including The Rise of the Intelligent Organization, A House Divided, A Cultural Diversity Sourcebook, and Bridging the Racial Divide. Sharif's own writings include The Power of One: Authentic Leadership in Turbulent Times and Creating a World That Works for All.

Sharif has worked with thousands of individuals and facilitated scores of transformation, empowerment and leadership sessions for various public and private organizations, including city and county governments, federal agencies like US Forest Service and HUD, international bodies like The United Nations, and Sarvodaya Shramadana and large corporations like Freightliner Corporation. In addition, Sharif has facilitated workshops with organizations like Association for Humanistic Psychology, Institute of Noetic Sciences, the International Conflict Resolution Conference, Institute for Sustainable Development, and others.

Sharif received a BA in Psychology from Clark University and went on to earn a juris doctor degree from Boston University. After practicing law in North Carolina for six years, Sharif chose a path to social change that is positive, inclusive and honors the dignity of all beings. Sharif currently directs the Commonway Institute, designed to build inclusively, understanding and civic engagement between diverse groups of people in various settings.

Personal Statement: "From before I can remember, my life has been shaped by a question: in a world that works for so few, how can we create a world that works for all?"

Special Free Lecture: "The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community"
By David C. Korten, Author of: "When Corporations Rule the World"

Location: Unitarian Center, 47 4th Street at C Street, Ashland

FREE ADMISSION- Donations appreciated, everyone welcome




Presentation Description:

(One-hour PowerPoint presentation followed by Q&A and book signing)

"We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future.... To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth Community with a common destiny." -The Earth Charter (2000)

David Korten's classic bestseller, When Corporations Rule the World was one of the first books to articulate the destructive and oppressive nature of the global corporate economy. Now, ten years later, Korten shows that the problem runs deeper than corporate domination, and with far greater consequences.

In The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community, Korten argues that corporate consolidation of power is merely a contemporary manifestation of what he defines as "Empire"- the organization of society by hierarchies of domination grounded in violent chauvinisms of race, gender, religion, nationality, language, and class. The result has been the same for 5,000 years-fortune for the few and misery for the many. Now, thanks to modern technologies, the way of Empire is increasingly destructive to children, family, community, and nature itself, rapidly leading us all to the brink of worldwide environmental and social collapse.

Korten makes the case that we are a species with the power of choice, and that at this defining moment in history, humanity faces both the opportunity and the imperative to choose our future in a conscious collective manner. A mounting perfect economic storm is fast approaching. A convergence of climate change, the fast approaching peak and decline in oil production, and the financial instability inherent in an unbalanced global trading system will bring an unraveling of the corporate-led global economy and a dramatic restructuring of every aspect of modern life-whether we like it or not.

This unraveling cannot be avoided. We can, however, turn a potentially terminal crisis into an epic opportunity to bring forth a new era of Earth Community grounded in the life-affirming cultural values shared by most all the world's people and eloquently articulated in the Earth Charter.

The Great Turning is an essential resource for those who understand the need for fundamental change. It cuts through the complexity of our time to illuminate a simple, but elegant truth. We humans live by stories. We are held captive to the ways of Empire by a cultural trance of our own creation-indeed, one need look no further than our popular culture and the way it is magnified in TV, movies, and other mass media to see how this paradigm is reflected back upon us all everyday. Changing our future begins with changing our stories in a way that includes our capacities for compassion, cooperation, responsible self-direction, and self-organizing partnership. This is a work already underway, and to succeed, it ultimately will call for the participation of every person on the planet. In The Great Turning, David Korten points the way to the inspiring outcome within our reach.

"David Korten has produced a masterpiece! Fascinating, compelling, wonderfully readable, and broad reaching in its arc of history and significance, The Great Turning will keep you up nights reading, fill your notebooks with insights, and give you the ammunition to win the water cooler wars."

-Thom Hartmann, Air America Radio talk show host and author of What Would Jefferson Do?

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

DISCOVER THE MISSING LINK BETWEEN GOOD INTENTIONS AND DESIRED RESULTS

FREE YOUR MIND FROM LIMITINGBELIEFS & ENTER THE WORLD OF GENUINE & EFFECTIVE CHANGE

"Your life is a reflection of your beliefs. These beliefs - usually subconscious - are the cumulative effect of life-long programming. As a result of past negative programming, we sometimes think and behave in self-defeating ways. PSYCH-K provides a user -friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind to change the printout of your life...." Rob Williams, M.A., Originator of PSYCH-K

"The 'secret of life' is BELIEF. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control our lives. PSYCH-K is a set of simple, self-empowering techniques to change your beliefs and perceptions that impact your life at a cellular level." Bruce Lipton, PhD, Cellular Biologist and author of The Biology of Belief.

How is this workshop different?

PSYCH-K is a process that transcends the standard methods of visualization, affirmations, will power and positive thinking to harness the power of your subconscious mind.

That is because PSYCH-K's simple and powerful techniques engage the 95% of your mind that almost all transformational systems ignore...this is the key to why PSYCH-K works so easily and effectively. PSYCH-K teaches you to align your subconscious beliefs with conscious goals to make lasting changes, turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

This workshop is highly experiential and interactive, with a balanced mix of lecture, demonstration, participation and class discussion.

Here's what you can expect from the workshop:

~Description of PSYCH-K and how your beliefs affect your reality
~Simple yet powerful techniques to change negative sabotaging beliefs
into positive supportive beliefs
~Effective muscle testing that is accurate and reliable
~Safe, non-invasive and permission based techniques
~Right/Left brain integration to quickly dissolve resistance to change
~You'll learn how to create your own belief statements, tailored to your own unique circumstances, with a verifiable feedback protocol.

You can positively impact these areas in your life....and more!

* Prosperity *Health & Body *Relationships *Grief & Loss *Self-Esteem *Personal Power *Spirituality *Weight Loss *Addictions *Goal-setting *Anxiety *Depression *Traumatic Memories *Performance Enhancement

Come and experience this extremely powerful method of communicating with the subconscious mind to change your limiting beliefs and remove the unseen blocks to your ultimate success, joy, peace and the LOVE that You Are.


Presenter's Biography:

I was born in Germany and I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, the heartland of America. I realized pretty early on that I was the 'indigo sheep' in my family, as many of us are.

Starting in 1969, I immersed myself in a series of practical apprenticeships, working in the fields of holistic health, metaphysics, beauty, personal growth and planetary evolution, all of which were self-motivated and self-generated. I discovered I was a 'natural' as all of us are when we're realizing our gifts and doing what is ours to do.

I managed and worked as a nutrition consultant at 3 key health food stores for 10 years.
I worked at a cutting edge holistic clinic that assessed blood tests according to 'wellness' norms for 2 years.
I professionally tape recorded (and attended) seminars ranging from holistic health-clinical nutrition to self-help to spirituality for 3 years.
About 20 years ago, I met and married my true partner and traveled the country with him doing shows, reconnecting with old friends and family, and meeting new friends and 'chosen' family, collecting a wealth of life experiences along the way.
Also 20 years ago, I started a highly successful retail business and simultaneously launched a 9-year dance career at age 36!

In 2004, all my sabotaging, self-defeating beliefs 'ganged up' on me, forcing me to stop, look at my life, and tell the truth about what was and wasn't so. While my life was good, I had to admit that my life was not fully an out-picturing of all the wisdom and knowledge that I knew. Things weren't working, really. I stopped, did a meditation, said a prayer"please show me what works and what to do." Two weeks later, thru a series of synchronistic events, I found PSYCH-K (or did PSYCH-K find me!) I watched the Bruce Lipton/Rob Williams DVD and I realized "this is what I've been waiting for all my life."

The blessing of being able to rewrite and delete old programming has been so pivotal for myself, my family, my friends and my clients that we speak of life 'before PSYCH-K' or 'after PSYCH-K'.'

I am grateful to offer this powerful method of personal change to you thru workshops and private sessions, to assist you in clearing any blocks to expressing your Love, Joy, Peace and Prosperity. Now, more than ever, it's time to "Be Who You Are", "Be True to Your Heart", "Say What You've Earned the Right to Say", " Bring Forth and Realize Your Gifts for Your Highest Good and The Highest Good of All."

Hear Sharif Abdullah on The Jefferson Exchange with Jeff Golden, Thursday 11/16/06 9-10 am (repeats 8-10pm) AM 1230

Sharif will lead the discussion on Thursday Nov. 16 7:30pm at RVML's Millennium Generation Discussion series (for people 18-32 only). More info: http://www.rvml.org/calendar/wc11162006.htm#1259" Target="_blank">http://www.rvml.org/calendar/wc11162006.htm#1259

Presentation Description:

The irony of our times: Things are getting worse and worse, and better and better, faster and faster. With these inspirational topics, Sharif helps us make sense of an increasingly complex and turbulent world. Sharif explores the personal and social visions that guide our society. He outlines how we can move from an "American Dream" that works for only a few Americans, to a "Global Dream" that works for all.

"CREATING A WORLD THAT WORKS FOR ALL"- A world that works for all? What does that sound like to you?

A utopian fantasy
A noble vision
An impossibility
A path to sustainability
An unattainable goal
A path to our future

Using his award-winning book as a foundation, Sharif provides a compelling picture of our present overwhelming and interlocking crises -- social, cultural, political, ecological and spiritual.

Our present society is too dysfunctional, too complex, too brutal to be reformed. We have created a world that works for only a few.

However, Sharif's presentation is not just a litany of gloom and doom. Sharif presents a unique way out of our world dilemma: by changing how we THINK, we can change our communities, our nation and our world. Our world is shaped by our beliefs: change the underlying beliefs and the world will be changed.

By committing to a powerful vision, we can gain the strength and will to face the difficult times ahead. Right now, with the resources currently available to us, we can begin to create a world that works for all beings.

"People will continue to enact the story of war until you provide them with a story of peace. Even in the face of the violence that troubles our world today, it is possible to turn the tide of terrorism and war by behaving in a way that recognizes the values shared by all of humanity, and makes the world fall in love with us. Sharif Abdullah has accomplished this miracle in his work in Sri Lanka, where suicide bombers have been reassigned to other tasks, and serve tea when he goes knocking on their doors. Hear his inspiring stories of peace, and learn about his formula for hope-there is, after all, a realistic alternative to violence."

-Michael Toms, New Dimensions Radio

National Council for Geocosmic Research (SONCGR*)

$5, General Public, $4 Seniors (62+), $3 SONCGR Member

Meets every third Monday of the month at RVML



Lecture Description:

Join us for an evening with one of the Rogue Valley's favorite speakers. Richard Moeschl will share some simple astronomy that will help astrologers understand what they do as it is informed by the living sky. He will also tell us what we can see in the night sky this winter and address the lively question of "What happened to Pluto?" This is a rare chance for astrologers to be with an astronomer who also loves the symbolic language of astrology.

Richard is Arts and Entertainment Editor and columnist for the Mail Tribune and the Ashland Daily Tidings. He wrote and produced the weekly astronomy program "The Milky Way Starlight Theater" which aired for a number of years on Jefferson Public Radio. He is the author of "Exploring the Sky: Projects for Beginning Astronomers" (Chicago Review Press). He wrote columns about seasonal celebrations and our relations with the stars for The Mountain Astrologer, Sentient Times and the Ashland Daily Tidings.

He teaches Elderhostel at Southern Oregon University and owned NightStar, a business which designed and manufactured star maps. Richard is the founder and Executive Director of Horizon Institute which explores the interface between science and spirituality in determining what it means to be human. As a playwright, Richard continues to examine those themes in his plays. He is a finalist for this year's Angus Bowmer award for drama in the Oregon Book Awards.

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.

Rev. Ruth Kirby
Lecture: Science of Mind in Today's World- Applying Science of Mind Ideas
By Rev. Ruth Kirby



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






Presentation Description:

One of the most empowering discoveries we can ever make is that we are at choice. And within that discovery, the most empowering area of choice is that we can choose what we believe about ourselves and our world. Why is that so important? Because what we believe is actually creating our experience. So if we are not happy with what we are experiencing, we can change our experience by changing our beliefs or thoughts about the situation.

The Science of Mind philosophy is essentially a "How does the Universe Work" manual accessible to all people. Science of Mind is not a religion; it is a way of thinking and living. It was first introduced in 1926 by Ernest Holmes in his book Science of Mind. This way of thinking puts you in the driver's seat of your own life and at the same time reminds you that you are on the road with everyone else.

This presentation will give a brief overview of Science of Mind ideas and also give examples of practical application of these ideas in Today's World.


Presenter's Biography:

Rev. Ruth Kirby is the founder of the Living Truth Center, a Science of Mind center, which currently meets Saturday mornings at 10am at the Peace House meeting room in Ashland. Rev. Ruth has been involved with the Science of Mind philosophy for 14 years and graduated from Religious Science International as a Minister two years ago. Soon after graduating, she founded Living Truth Center and has been serving there as Minister and occasionally as a musician. Rev. Ruth is also active in the Rogue Valley Interfaith Ministries group that meets monthly in Ashland and coordinates two interfaith services a year, one on Thanksgiving and one on Earth Day weekend.

Rev. Ruth says her first spiritual experiences were when she was in Nature and has continued to consider Nature to be her most important teacher. She was attracted to the Science of Mind philosophy because it articulated so well what she was already feeling and experiencing about the nature of this world and how it works. She has a great respect for all paths and considers each person as the authority on what is right for their spiritual exploration and understanding.

Lecture: The "SIMPLE" of Being!- The Joy is in the Journey
By Sharon Elam

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




Presentation Description:

What is this and how might it impact you?

You may find how to experience the "Speed of Going Slow". You may realize that the simpler your perspective of Being is, the easier it is to adapt to "SIMPLE" and experience greater 'Joy in the Journey' of your life adventure.

This is the story of one who has and is traveling the path of simplicity - enjoying the journey - one step at a time! Finding that this one is the greatest and best teacher on this journey, and yet guided by many sign posts along the way. Realizing the importance of creating choices that not only serve this one in the 'NOW', but will also serve many generations yet to come.

Learning to direct the external seeking and with diligence heed the messenger within and actively participate in the act of allowing the highest and best in the moment, thereby creating a future of harmony and balance.

This planet and all its inhabitants, human, animal, plant, waters, mountain- everything - has come to be in this moment because we have over eons learned to adapt in response to the constant and continuous changing environment. This planet is one of 'adaptogens'!

Stories, life experiences, how this came about for this one and where the explorations of this life adventure has led and continues to lead in life's simple pleasures of Being.

This one leads by example, full well knowing she often steps to the beat of a different drummer and not in any way seeking followers.


Presenter's Biography:

Sharon has long been a participant (student) in the University of Life, her major being Service. Though there are as yet no sheep skins, there are the rewards of serving.

After graduating from High School, Sharon attended LACC and Good Samaritan Hospital for a nursing degree. There was no completion in this venture as Sharon married during this time and husband and family took precedent, thereby creating another avenue as a student of Life.

Sharon has maintained her natural desire to work with others and assist them, if they choose, in a variety of ways, all seeming to lead to recognizing ones wholeness and the peace within.

Sharon searches out natural healing processes and shares these, sometimes little-known processes and often times simply forgotten ways.

An avid and continual student of peace, Sharon believes one can only teach what one lives and exemplifies.

Being a volunteer at RVML, for now is part of the curriculum of the University of Life.

FREE ADMISSION

RVML 258 A Street UPSTAIRS in the Chi Center, Suite 15

Interesting people, fascinating information and "extra-ordinary" conversation in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

In this interactive forum, participants gain an ever-broadening understanding of being human while navigating the complexities of the greater reality. In contrast to a typical discussion forum, participants are encouraged to explore ideas from a metaphysical perspective, where no idea is too far-out!

Utilizing intellect and intuition, participants explore: What is our purpose for existence? Where did we come from? How do our souls come into being? What is the triune nature of mind?

Note: Intended for participants 18-32 years-old only.
