Join our monthly fellowship as we share metaphysical insights from the Divine on a variety of topics and current affairs. This month, Dimitri will explore the spiritual dynamics of leadership. Leadership shows itself very clearly in the auric field. As the United States heads into its national elections, its citizens are already exercising their democratic right to vote and elect leaders who will reaffirm the principles that made America the inspiring nation it is. There is a national karma when it comes to leadership. We must go through the process of selecting our leaders, yet in doing so, what we are really doing is fulfilling our part in the divine plan. The United States, and the world, has been going through growing pains. World dynamics are changing as part of the evolution of civilization, and this is reflected in the current political stresses. Yet these stresses are not just about leadership; they reflect the present temperament and character of its citizens. While we may share differing points of view, as citizens, we must all do our part to cooperate in taking America to the next step in its collective evolution. Meditations with Divine Light, world prayers and music will be part of the fellowship. There has never been a better time to pursue your soul’s growth.

A trio of exciting abstract artists will show at the popular “Expressions in the Abstract” exhibit at the Borrego Art Institute starting Nov. 9 in the McQuown-Wermers Gallery. The colorful abstract paintings and mixed media of Antonio Escalante are personal representations of the landscape in which his work is made, be it the sea, desert, mountains, or built environment. Through intimacy and abstraction, he creates a compelling visual narrative. Painter Jennifer McHugh’s loose, free-flowing work features emotional pieces influenced by the everyday and her response to it. “My work serves as a visual journal, and my hope is that each viewer interprets a story, an inspiration, as unique and spontaneous as what moved me to paint it,” she said. Mixed media artist Robert Wright will present assemblages made from detritus of the Southwest that invite inquiry and contemplation. “Happenstance and serendipity are integral in the revival of these objects,” Wright said. “Giving them a new purpose and a second chance is the pleasure of presenting this body of work.” The opening reception is Nov. 9 from 5-7 p.m. The shows run through Dec. 8. Music will be provided by the jazz duo The Baker Brothers. Visit: Expressions in the Abstract Borrego Art Institute on Instagram and Facebook
