Topic: DVD “The Secret
Date: Mon., June 12
Time: 7:15- 9:15 PM
Location: East Shore Unitarian -12700 SE 32nd, (I-90 at Richards RD)
http://www.ionsnw.org/directionseastshoreunitarian.htm
Fee: $5 Suggested Donation

This 90-minute DVD was conceived and produced by Australian videographer, Rhonda Byrne, and released in April of this year.

The Secret is knowledge of how to use the Law of Attraction as the basis for manifestation. The thesis, “The Law of Attraction” is that we attract into our experience whatever we give our attention to, by virtue of the vibrations of our thoughts, which register throughout the universe. And that we can work directly with this principal of resonance in particular ways.

The Secret is a collection of interviews mixed with animations, does not use a story line, and focuses on teaching 3 principals of manifestation. Very clearly articulated by a wide variety of spokesmen, present and past, the movie shows how to work with the law of attraction to create from personal desire.

Interviewees are John Assaraf, Michael Beckwith, Lee Brower, Jack Canfield, John Demartini, Marie Diamond, Mike Dooley, Bob Doyle, Hale Dwoskin, Morris Goodman, John Gray, John Hagelin, Bill Harris, Esther Hicks (speaking for “Abraham”), Ben Johnson, Loral Langemeier, Lisa Nichols, Bob Proctor, James Arthur Ray, David, Schirmer, Marci Shimoff, Joe Vitale, Denis Waitley, and Fred Alan Wolf.

Topic: The Old Woman Who Never Dies: An Experiential Workshop
Presenters: Virginian Meyer and Judy Koons
Date: Mon., June 26
Time: 7:15- 9:15 PM
Location: East Shore Unitarian -12700 SE 32nd, (I-90 at Richards RD)
(http://www.ionsnw.org/directionseastshoreunitarian.htm)

Fee: $5 Suggested Donation

Description: Join us in celebrating the summer solstice, as we re-vision an ancient 50,000 year-old shamanic Moon phase ritual in contemporary context. Our Stone Age ancestors were connected to the universe they lived in, through this Solunar ritual. We have virtually lost our connection to our universe and thus fragmented our consciousness.

How can we find our way back? We believe the Moon’s cycles were and are the original model for humanity’s evolution of consciousness.

A daily path of transformation, the model is based on Eight Windows in Time opening to humanity every month. Each month, these windows answer the four questions: What is the focused spiritual and personal intent for this month? How can I use the energies for the greatest good of all? Whereto is this intent leading? and Why—for what purpose and value?

We call our new vision of this early Moon ritual, as an exercise in practical spirituality, The Old Woman Who Never Dies. Like the Moon which dies and is renewed every 29 days, anyone can experience a rebirth at the end of each month, if they allow the eight energies of the cycle to guide them through the process. Having practiced this as a form of mindfulness for some years, we can say that we are far more connected than we were, not only to the universe but to humanity, past and present.

In its original form the practice was tribal and primitive. A “Lunar Path” has been alluded to by various writers, but to our knowledge never written down. We do know it has never been presented in its complete, simple, ageless, natural form, as a transformative path belonging to everyone. We will present this model, based on our own experiences and forthcoming book, in an interactive lecture format that leaves you with adequate basic tools for further personal investigation.

Virginia Meyer is a professional astrologer, author, teacher, and retired art and mental health therapist. Currently, she is completing the book, The Old Woman Who Never Dies and developing new techniques in astrology.

Judy Koons is an astrologer and Tarot student. Currently she is exploring healing and mind-body connection through nutrition, herbs and supplements.

3) REGISTER NOW FOR 4 DAY RETREAT WITH IONS PRESIDENT JAMES O’DEA AND PATRICK MARSOLEK IN BOULDER, MONTANA (JULY 13-16).

Topic: 360 Degrees of Transformation: A Workshop on Transformative Action with IONS President James O'Dea and Patrick Marsolek: Breakthrough from Chaos to Beauty in the Montana Landscape

Date: Mon., July 13, 6:00 p.m. to July 16, 1:00 p.m
Location: Boulder Hot Springs, Montana (near Helena)
Fee: $5 Suggested Donation

Description: We live in a time of profound change. New paradigms of connection and energetic relationships offer us renewed ways of perceiving and living in the world. We gather in Montana to engage in a deep consultation with the universe about what we need to take back into our lives, our communities, and the larger world for effective transformation.

360 degrees of transformation will be a collective inward journey into our deeper purpose. We will travel a full circle through the underworld of our own archetypal energies with heart, intention, and respect.

Then opening to our entanglement with larger energies and forms of consciousness, we will invite a sensory, somatic connection with the natural world to guide us into a personal discovery of self. We will nurture an awakening to a new, clearer sense of our personal path.

From a new sense of self-in-connection we will begin to express and crystallize our personal and collective story, bringing all our insights and experiences into a sacred recognition and confirmation of our living potentials for transformation and change.

We enter this journey to reinvigorate our lives with spirit and to experience connection and meaning. We come together to be seen embodying our truest selves.

Conference plus meals (no lodging) $360
Conference plus shared room and meals $480
Conference plus single room and meals $520
(A limited number of B & B rooms are available for
an extra fee.)
