Mysticism in the Bible by Bible Scholar, Dr Rocco Errico
Saturday, March 20th
4 hour seminar from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm with an hour lunch break
Over 40% of the Bible is based on Near Eastern Mysticism—that is, insight into the hidden world around us. A mystical experience is the soul's capacity to perceive more than the physical eyes can see. In this four hour seminar, Dr. Errico reveals the secrets of the ancient, Semitic seers: Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, and other Hebrew prophets. The books of First and Second Samuel and First and Second Kings takes on new meaning after understanding the Near Eastern approach to God and the invisible, spiritual faculties of one's own heart and mind. Dr. Errico shows the practical side to intuitive insight that brought to birth the Near Eastern religions and the Bible. Visit www.noohra.com for information about Dr Errico. Call us to register for this event. See Flyer

In this “Sensory Enlightenment Advanced Workshop”, we will be learning how to directly contact the Divine. There are many aspects of the Enlightened experience that are being made available for the first time. On the deepest level, the Sensory Enlightenment Advanced Workshop is simply your Soul speaking to It self. The course is just a cover. The workshop is there just to pacify your mind. It is not the workshop; rather, it is the state that it will bring you to that is important. The workshop is a kind of gateway. There is a silence associated with it that is significant. If you come to the workshop, just know that you will gain a foothold in the area beyond your mind. You will come to know your Soul intimately. You will come to know your inmost Self. You will taste eternity. You will gradually awaken from a million lifetimes of sleep and you will know your Divinity. In the end, you will come to live the wisdom of the Saints from time immemorial.

The Mandala of the Enlightened Feminine Dakini Workshop with Ellen Booth Church
Saturday, May 22nd 10am - 5pm

Based on the Work of Lama Tsultrim Allione, founder of Tara Mandala and author of “Women of Wisdom” and “Feeding Your Demons” Presented by Ellen Booth Church
The mandala of the Enlightened Feminine creates a sacred geography within the psyche leading toward the realization of the innate perfection of the world. The mandala is a blueprint for sacred reality on every level. Ritually, aesthetically, and symbolically it expresses the inherent purity of all existence, and embodiment as a path to liberation. Through the mandala, the psyche is provided with a container and structure for transformation and architecture of enlightened experience. In the workshop we will explore through color, light, sound and visualization how our human emotions are the very seeds for our own transformation and enlightenment.
Ellen Booth Church (Yeshe Choepel) is a former professor of Education at New York State University. She is a 23-year practioner of Tibetan Buddhism, teacher for Key West Tara Mandala & an accomplished writer. She has created several Satellite Sanghas for her teacher, Lama Tsultrim Allione. For the past three years she has assisted Lama Tsultrim in the month long 3 Yana Retreat at Lama Tsultrim’s retreat center, Tara Mandala, in southwestern Colorado.
She recently taught the dakini mandala in Germany. Please call us to Register. See Flyer
