When a spirit leaves the body and goes into the astral world or astral plane, the silver cord breaks and we find ourselves in a temporary stage of consciousness in our spirit.

In some schools bardo is an intermediate or transitional state between death and rebirth. It is the central theme of the Bardo Thodol (literally Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State) from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. With Mary Linn Clarke. $20. ONLINE Register Here>

The Spirit University cordially invites you to the Unity in Spirit networking & conversations gathering! This event is to connect the different spiritual centers here in Sarasota and Manatee Counties, exchange ideas, do some networking, break down barriers, and work together to build a brighter future. Being a part of a broader community is a great way to bring people together and help them find their higher purpose. With this event we hope to encourage directors/owners of spiritual development centers to not only educate one another on their work, but to come together and see what we have in common to help each other. You will meet others who you may follow a path akin to yours or learn something that is completely new. You may discover new techniques and ideas to work into your own teachings/practices, or ways to fine-tune what you already have going. All are welcome. We look forward to seeing you and Uniting In Spirit to make the spiritual communities of Sarasota and Manatee stronger! ONLINE Register Here>

For a long time we have thought that if we could just “get the guy, get the girl, get the car, get the job, get the house, get the spouse, get the kids, get the better job, get the better house, get the promotion, get the grandkids, get the office in the corner…” on and on it goes. And still we feel empty. In this class we will discover 5 alchemical talismans that, if used in the right way and in the right order, will change the “base metal” of a painful, unsatisfactory reality into the “gold” of a joyful reality; the “base metal” of struggle and suffering into the “gold” of […]
