Noise from roads, airports and equipment like leaf blowers has been linked with serious health impacts. Decades ago, the U.S. government passed a law limiting it, but it has no teeth.

Workshop conducted by Award-winning Author and Spiritual Teacher Dimitri Moraitis Eastern mystical training emphasizes the highest aspiration is reaching the Ultimate Reality that exists behind the veil of physical life. Buddhism teaches of Nirvana. The Tao teaches of a return to the source from where all life springs. Hindu metaphysics teaches of attaining enlightenment and uniting with Brahman—the ocean of life. Yet in the Western mystical teachings, there is the emphasis on reaching God. The three great monotheistic traditions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam—all emphasize God is the goal of life. As spiritual truth seekers, how do we incorporate these two universal perspectives in our soul growth? One of the glories of the modern age is an understanding that the traditions of the East and the West are essentially different facets of the same precious jewel. By understanding the underlying unity of these traditions, we gain a deeper, more mature understanding of life, God, and our place in the divine scheme. Drawing from The Kingdom of Light Teachings, Dimitri offers fresh insights as to how the mystical aim of God and the Ultimate Reality are both essential to unlock the potential of the soul and serve in the divine plan. Discover meditative techniques with Divine Light to help you be more effective and energetic in life’s pursuits, as well as feel more engaged and purposeful in all you do. $35 / As we are a non-profit, donations welcomed.
