Dear Friends:
 
We had a fascinating RAHM meeting in June!  Norm McVea played his iBliss Sacred Geometry DVD, and everyone enjoyed deep insight and healing.  If you missed the meeting and want to experience this for yourself, please contact Norm.  His information is listed below in the directions to his house.
 
The next meeting will be Sunday, July 23, 6:30 - 9:30PM.  Please RSVP as soon as possible.  We would like to know who is going to be there.  If you are coming from a long distance, and are willing to give someone a ride, let us know well in advance so that we can help coordinate rides.
 
We are very fortunate to meet once again at the beautiful home of Norm McVea and Sharon Hart in Bel Marin Keys, not very far from Adriana's house where we had the first two meetings.  Directions are given at the end of this email. 
 
The presenters will be Richard Tunkel and Diane Kelly.  The topic is Deekshah.  Here is what they have to say about it.
 
Diane and Richard will be giving Mukti Deeksha, a transfer of divine energy for enlightenment.  The word "Mukti" means liberation, and "Deeksha" means initiation.  However, this is not an initiation into a set of practices or beliefs.  It is an initiation (or deepening) into an inner process, allowing the gradual unfoldment of awareness.  The ability for Diane and Richard to give Deeksha is a divine gift, given to them by two Avatars in India, Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan, whose mission is to bring an end of suffering to humankind.
 
The receipt of Deeksha is a divine gift.  Because of this, there should ideally be an energetic or Karmic exchange, thus facilitating the energy transfer.  To make the Deekshah more effective, you may wish to make a modest donation ($10 or more suggested), or perhaps bring an offering of fruit or flowers.  However, the RAHM group does not require a fee or offering. 
 
If you would like to be a future presenter, please let us know.  We will have a signup sheet at the next meeting.  The purpose of RAHM is practical, with an emphasis on healing, guidance, therapy, and personal growth.  It's not just a "lecture" group but is also meant to be experiential.  Topics are based on the presenter's own background and skills - or can something the presenter would like to learn more about.  There is no better way to learn something than to teach it! 
 
Suggested topics from a previous meeting: Astral Projection, Astrology, Psychic Healing, Numerology, Guided Imagery, Channeling, NLP, Dolphins, Parapsychology, Yoga, Dream Work, Tarot, Center for Attitudinal Healing, Soul Mates, Atlantis, Kabbalah, Seth, Lazaris, Abraham, Crop Circles, Angels, Spirit Guides, Indigo Children, Body Work, Aura Viewing, UFOs, Crystals, Nature and Animal Spirituality.
 
We look forward to seeing you!
 
Steve and Adriana

ABOUT RAHM
 
RAHM is a forum for people to share what they have learned in their lives, their classes, workshops, degree programs, books and other media.  The group is structured on non-hierarchical principles.  We each share and contribute equally. 
 
The RAHM group (Reading And Healing Marin) meets monthly, every 3rd or 4th Sunday as pre-announced, and unless otherwise notified, 6:30PM - 9:30PM.  It is important to be on time!  For directions, see below.    
 
Each meeting will be divided into three hourly sessions.  There can be some flexibility, but this is the preferred structure:
 
- The first hour will be a presentation by someone in the group.  We will each take turns being presenter, from month to month. 
 - The second hour will be the healing/reading (etc.) exchange.  Even if you don't have the skills, that's OK.  We will be teaching each other these skills.  Alternatively, the first 2 hours can be an integration of lecture and workshop - at the presenter's discretion.
 - The third hour will be a discussion of our experiences of the evening.  It can also include a free-flowing, round-table discussion on relevant topics. 
 
There will be short breaks and light snacks.  Please bring something to share (nothing that would require utensils).  In some exercises, we may be lying on the floor.  So bring pillows if you can, and dress comfortably.
  
Sincerely,
