Divine Light Healing Night Experience a Divine Light healing, performed in a supportive group setting, as you are guided through a highly effective technique to receive spiritual energy to heal and transform your life. Whether you are seeking physical, mental or emotional transformation, Divine Light healing is a full-spectrum aura therapy. The aura is key to healing, because it is the place where you generate the spiritual energy to manifest health. Drawing on a 4,000 year mystical tradition, these techniques were developed by Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis and built on the clairvoyant experiences of Barbara over five decades. They are taught in their award-winning book "The Healing Power of Your Aura" which has been endorsed by medical luminaries C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Richard Gerber. Each month, we will offer insights into the spiritual healing principles with the aura and Divine Light. Participants will be organized into small groups and receive a direct Divine Light healing from our trained spiritual healers. Plus there is a special healing offered on the nervous system to release stresses and tensions. Spiritual Arts Institute on Facebook / Instagram

After 20 years of war, America’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan left hundreds of thousands of Afghan interpreters and other allies behind as the Taliban retook the country with shocking speed. Fearing retribution for his brave work with the U.S., beloved interpreter “Max” and his family of 10 are forced into hiding as they desperately struggle to escape Afghanistan before they are tracked down and punished. Meanwhile in the U.S., Max’s former brothers in arms and their network of supporters work frantically to navigate the byzantine visa process established by the U.S. government to bring these allies to safety.
