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.

Looking for a unique way to bolster your creativity and infuse your writing projects with new energy? Using images as inspiration can help fire up those juices, often leading you in unexpected directions. Working with personally selected visuals can be a fascinating entry point for unlocking and accessing ideas, and can help bring forth your most authentic voice. Join Kimberly Lee for four delicious weeks of writing with SoulCollage®, an expressive arts method requiring no “artistic ability,” just the willingness to try something new. Participants will be directed through the calming process of making a SoulCollage® card each week, and then we’ll use these creations as the basis for responding to imaginative writing prompts. With attention to character development, point of view, setting, plot, dialogue, tension and obstacles, plus mood and color, we’ll explore how the practice of SoulCollage® can be an uplifting muse, a gentle guide on the writing path, no matter what our goals may be. Whether you’re a fiction writer or memoirist, you’ll find this process inspirational and will leave with many takeaways for your writing journey. By the end, you may have the beginnings of a short piece or a number of concrete elements that can be adapted for a longer project. This series will be conducted according to the Amherst Writers and Artists method, founded by Pat Schneider. Participants will have the choice to share their work and receive feedback as to what was strong and resonant in their freshly-written words. We’ll create a safe environment for play and exploration, the foundation of creativity. Stay Connected with SoulCollage®! Facebook | Instagram | X
