Eknath Easwaran’s Passage Meditation
2016-03-28 19:15 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | The Spirit University, 373 Braden Ave, Sarasota, 34243
Eknath Easwaran, a Ph.D. in English literature, a lawyer, a Sanskrit scholar, founder of The Blue Mountain Center of Meditation, and author of 25 books on meditation and related topics, developed a “do-able,” effective, and profound method of daily meditation. It is easy to learn and to practice. This method is intended to fit into our daily lives so that we can expand our spiritual connection and wisdom without difficulty. This passage meditation method also supports mediumship practice nicely. (www.easwaran.org)
Shanna Spalding St. Clair has practiced this method for over 20 years. It has supported her personal spiritual growth, her mediumship, and her health issues. In this workshop she will share Easwaran’s passage meditation method and how to use it beneficially.

Automatic writing is one way that spirit guides and angels communicate with us, and it is a very effective method of receiving messages or wisdom from other dimensions. It is a simple way to develop intuition, access inner guidance, and unblock creativity. All are welcome, novices and experienced writers alike.

Access higher realms of the mind, body and spirit
Contact family members who have passed on
Contact your spirit guides and guardian angels
Find a teacher from another plane
The possibilities are endless with automatic writing

Automatic writing is a great, non-scary way of channeling your Higher Self or Spirit Guides through writing. It allows you to ‘download’ their perspective subconsciously and transcribe it as it comes in. With Victoria Ackerman

To becoming a Reiki Master you must have first completed Reiki I and II. With Dawn Freeman

How do spiritual leaders experience greater peace of mind, reduce stress and promote healing? The answer, in a nutshell, is meditation.
In this workshop, you will learn about the latest scientific conclusions showing why meditation is helpful in all aspects of your daily life. We will discuss and explore where science and spirituality meet and how it can help you on your spiritual journey.

Have you ever wondered what it would take to accomplish greater calm, clarity and well being?
The latest scientific research shows that when people actually experience a quieter and calmer mind they often choose to become lifelong meditators.
How do you achieve a quieter and stiller mind?

The answer can be amazingly simple and powerful when a meaningful meditation practice is understood and consistently applied. We will explore:

The challenges of a busy mind and how to overcome them.
Some technology that can assist in stilling the mind.
How to discover your own “Inner Way” through meditation.
How to meet your higher self in a place of safety that you can revisit at any time.

We all lead busy lives. This workshop will focus on how to get maximum benefits of meditation in just minutes a day.

Introduction to Nonviolent Communication
2016-09-15 19:00 - 21:00 | The Spirit University, 373 Braden Ave, Sarasota, 34243
Nonviolent Communication (NVC), also called Compassionate Communication, is the internationally renowned life-serving language process of Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD. Our communication evolves as our consciousness does in this ever-changing world. With the revolutionary language process (NVC*), we speak authentically from our heart based on our deepest values. We are much more likely to be heard, understood and have our needs met when we express and listen from this place.
NVC inspires deep, meaningful connection with self & others. Tragically, our culture has habituated a language based on blame, manipulation, fear, judgments, demands and punishment, which ultimately causes anger, disconnect, and hate. This domination-based language does not serve us in a way that creates joy in ourselves or our experiences. To transform our world we begin with ourselves. I invite and strongly encourage you to consider this essential, life-serving communication process that effectively fosters loving connection through mutual respect, compassion and recognizes the divine energy in all of us. With Mercedes Frace.
With the skills of NVC you will be more able to….

Unlearn what you’ve been taught by domination culture, thinking and structure…. return to your compassionate nature
Heal old pain by means of empathy/empathic presence
Live aligned with your values Listen so others are fully heard
Discover the gift of anger & what is at the heart of conflict
Resolve differences peacefully
Overcome cultural conditioning that promotes violence
Move from power-over to partnerships/horizontal relationships
Develop the capacity to open your heart to all

Eben Alexander, MD visits The Spirit University
2016-09-17 18:00 - 2016-09-18 18:00
*** Special Event – 2 Days Only ***
Dr. Alexander, a renowned academic neurosurgeon, spent over three decades honing his scientific worldview. He thought he knew how the brain and mind worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE), in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection, changed all of that – completely! LEARN MORE
He is joined by Sacred Acoustics founder Karen Newell. Two Events will be offered: a LECTURE PRESENTATION and a WORKSHOP (sold out). See below for details:

LECTURE PRESENTATION
with Eben Alexander, M.D. and Karen Newell
A Neurosurgeon’s Journey through the Afterlife
Join New York Times best-selling author Eben Alexander MD and co-founder of Sacred Acoustics Karen Newell on an exploration of life and consciousness. In 2008, Dr. Alexander spent seven days in a coma due to severe bacterial meningitis. While in coma with his brain shut down, he experienced a spectacular odyssey to realms beyond our known physical universe—an ultra-real journey that ran counter to all conventional neuro-scientific views about brain, mind and consciousness. As detailed in his book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, sound provided the crucial engine for traversing spiritual dimensions during his incredible experience. In The Map of Heaven, Dr. Alexander explains how spiritually transformative experiences are quite common, and how science is waking up to this reality.
In this presentation, Dr. Alexander will share more about his inner journey then and now and the essential lessons he has learned. He and Karen Newell will describe the tools developed by Sacred Acoustics that each of us can use to explore our own connection to inner knowing and the deeper realities of our existence. Ms. Newell will lead the group in a guided sound meditation to experience for themselves that the answers truly lie within us all. There will be ample time to process, ask questions and discuss how to integrate the insights from meditation into everyday living. Mark Your Calendar!
