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.

From the gallery: "What’s most fun for me about running Ice Gallery is getting to see the myriad ways each artist interprets the instruction “site specific”. I have yet again been surprised by the way in which the new installation “Lancea” by Kline Swonger has capitalized on a never before used aspect of the space. Over the last few weeks Kline has engaged in a thoughtful meticulous process to bring us an installation that is both subtle and intricate. We hope to see you at the opening on Saturday June 22 from 3-6 p.m. If you can’t make the opening, the gallery will be open by appointment HERE Tuesday – Saturday 11-4 p.m." — Michael James Armstrong, ICE Gallery Related links: ICE Gallery website Kline Swonger website | Instagram Appointment link
