JULY
1. ’ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY’ – REVEALING THE SOUL’S INTENTION - DVD
by WILLIAM MEADER
The spiritual journey is governed by our ability to recognize the soul and be guided by its purpose. Esoteric
Astrology—the astrology of the soul—can be very helpful in this regard. Through a deeper understanding of
one’s birth chart, the Soul’s purpose and intention is revealed. It also unveils the personality factors that tend
to block the Soul from fully achieving its incarnational purpose.
8. ‘THE TEACHINGS OF ECKHART TOLLE’ by TONY SPATARELLA
Join Tony as he shares the philosophy and practice of a modern spiritual master. Drawing primarily from
Eckhart’s classic book, ‘The Power of Now’, Tony will share Eckhart’s own ego dissolving experiences, and
his view on the nature of the ‘self’ and ultimate Reality.
15. LIMITED AND LIMITLESS by JANANI CLEARY
At first glance, this is a rather nebulous topic and seemingly of no consequence to anyone. But, when put in the
perspective of the fact that everyone wants to live with a sense of a lasting (i.e. limitless) sense of wellbeing this
topic then becomes very significant and most helpful. In fact, life can only be fully lived when you know the
difference between what is limited and what is limitless. While it may seem to be a daunting task to understand
this, it is in fact, the easiest and most beneficial effort when approached with the right attitude and
understanding. This talk will address this in full measure.
22. AN INTRODUCTION TO QIGONG by KENNETH FRANKEL
Qigong consists of various ancient Chinese practices that promote health, vitality and longevity through
conditions of body, breath, and mind. This session will examine some of the foundational concepts, historical
background, and health benefits of qigong, combined with practice of some of the methods. No athletic ability is
needed and most methods may be practiced in a seated or standing position. Wear comfortable clothing and
flat shoes.
29. SUFISM - by CAROLE ROSS
This will be an introduction to Sufism; what it is and what it is not. It will be about the principles of Sufism, the
initiation, relationship to the Master, and what it means to be “crazy.”
Two books, ‘The Path,’ and ‘What the Sufis Say,’ poetry and music should give you a first view into and the
stepping stones to The Nimatullahi Sufi Order.
AUGUST
5. ‘WAKING UP TO LOVE’ – THE 7 KEYS TO EXITING THE MATRIX OF CONDITIONING
By TONY SPATARELLA
Join Tony as he shares his insights regarding helpful methods to free ourselves from the social programming
that leads us away from a direct experience of who we truly are. The 7 Keys are an unlearning process that
brings us back to our heart center; to a realization that love and connection are our true nature.
12. PRACTICAL MYSTICISM – A TSA DVD – by WILLIAM MEADER
For centuries, mysticism has been a major factor in our quest to experience God and the spiritual dimension of
life. Over time, this quest has evolved into a new and more enlightened approach called ‘practical mysticism.’
To be a practical mystic, and individual must be inwardly oriented toward the soul while at the same time
focused on practical action in the outer world. The nature and application of practical mysticism will be
presented, as well as a more enlightened understanding of spiritual service.
19. THE SACRED ART OF INDIA AND BURMA by MARION DOLAN PhD.
The Sacred Art of these two countries has evolved over thousands of years. This program will examine the
changing artworks and architectural forms of their culture. Under Muslim rule for hundreds of years, Hindu and
Muslim blended to create new styles culminating in the magnificent Taj Mahal. This talk will also illustrate the
Theosophical Headquarters in Adyar, India, one of the ancient sacred areas located along the southeastern
coast of the country.
26. UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD AND ITS REALIZATION by ENRIQUE RENARD
The Masters of the White Brotherhood who gave us theosophy by means of Helena Blavatsky, indicated that
among other considerations, humanity has been given a dispensation of occult knowledge that should give an
impulse to the concept and practice of a Universal Brotherhood. That was, and continues to be their main
concern. The time was ripe because of the transition presently taking place being between the periods of
Pisces and Aquarius and the influence that those galaxies have over our planet. Enrique will offer some useful
ideas when confronting the huge changes humanity has experienced, and will continue to experience, as of the
last decades on its path to consciousness unfolding.
SEPTEMBER
2. LODGE IS CLOSED FOR LABOR DAY HOLIDAY.
9. ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS by BRIAN BURNS
Aka. San Juan De La Cruz was mystic poet, saint, heretic, rebel and reported as tantric lover of St. Theresa of
Avila. He was also a profoundly compassionate spiritual being who left us a magnificent collection of poetry and
teachings. Please come and hear more about his amazing life and times.
16. ‘CRAZY WISDOM’ - DVD
Crazy Wisdom explores the arrival of Tibetan Buddhism in America through the story of Chögyam Trungapa, the
brilliant “bad boy of Buddhism” who fled his homeland during the Chinese communist invasion. Trungpa arrived
in the US in 1970, and legend has it that he said to his students: “Take me to your poets.” He eventually became
renowned for translating ancient Buddhist concepts into language and ideas that Westerners could understand,
while shattering all notions about the way an enlightened teacher should behave.
“No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can
be made by those who have no capacity for living now.”
—Alan Watts
23. LIFE MASTERY: A GUIDE FOR CREATING THE LIFE YOU WANT
AND THE COURAGE TO LIVE IT by JOEL ANASTASI
We don’t come to earth with an operating manual telling us how to live productive, joyful lives. The Life Mastery
program may be the next best thing. Joel Anastasi developed this remarkable program from teachings of the
Archangel Michael. In his talk, Joel will review the key teachings Michael gave us to help us reach our full
potential as human beings.
30. SACRED POETRY by PHILLIP E. COLLINS
When something is sacred and mystical it cannot always be explained by known, accepted sources or by our five
senses. The words of these poems and messages are filled with ancient wisdom and magic to set us free
from ourselves and to awaken us to who we are, why we are here and where we are headed in today’s shifting
world. If that takes place, we shall join in oneness and love.
