Greetings!
This is the time of year when we are busy preparing to welcome "home" our Minister's, Teachers, and Practitioner's for the annual Conference. A time when we come together, some as old classmates, others as newly ordained and certified, to be re-inspired, and to hear about each other's plans for the next year. It is also a time full of special events; Ordination, Graduation and the special two-day presentation are among the highlights. Tuija Robbins will be our special conference presenter. She will lecture on Anubis-Pluto and the Return of Quetsalquatel: Humanity upon the Scales on November 7 & 8. Together we will examine the fascinating relationship between the Pluto/Anubis Mystery and the Mystery of the "Feathered Serpent"-the Solar Angel Who guides every human being into the Mysteries of Initiation and into ultimate freedom as Horus, the Son of the Sun. Following conference, on November 9 & 10, is a recently added new class: Advanced Quantum-Touch� Techniques taught by Practitioner, Linda Summer. The techniques in this class will be based on the advanced course in Quantum-Touch (QT) called Supercharging Quantum-Touch. If you have already taken a Live Basic workshop, you are ready for this next power packed step. We will be unveiling our next year's class schedule soon, so keep checking back to our website for the news, and for any classes we add between now and when the Spring Schedule starts in February. See you soon! Editor Sancta Sophia Seminary News Contact information

Living Foods as an Adjunct to the Spiritual Path - Janet Allen Defends Dissertation
by Rev. Carol Parrish
On Friday, September 18, 2008, Janet Allen presented her dissertation "Living Foods as an Adjunct to the Spiritual Path." Janet's research was astonishing. As a nurse she investigated, compared and contrasted, and compiled statistics on how a raw diet can improve an individual's health: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually as ones diet was changed and kept raw for a period of time. I asked all the hard questions: What about the cold? How much time did she spend, especially in the winter, getting enough foodstuffs to eat for her and her husband? I suppose the bottom line is: Is it worth it? To which Janet responded a strong, "yes!" Janet joined the program nine years ago. Currently her hair is darker than it was then, her disposition better, she looks younger than her years and she is a happy person after six years on this program. I am amazed and proud of her work, and just plain proud of her. Some more photos of the proud Seminary staff and Janet Allen can be found on my blog post dated September 19. You will be able to read an abstract of her dissertation on the seminary website shortly.

November 9 - 10 Sunday 2:00 -5:00 PM & Monday 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Advanced Quantum-Touch� Techniques Practitioner, Linda Summer
 Join Linda Summer for a fun class as we enhance our QT skills!! The techniques in this class will be based on the advanced course in Quantum-Touch (QT) called Supercharging Quantum-Touch. Supercharging Quantum-Touch is a refinement of the standard QT method. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Supercharging accelerates the effectiveness of standard Quantum-Touch techniques: results happen faster, tissue is affected more deeply and your ability to direct energy to a specified area increases. By the time you finish this class, you should find that your energy output has tripled or quadrupled. ****************************
Highlights of the class: - Amplification-involves becoming highly focused internally Work with the 8th -12th chakra - The 12-Color Meditation to re-establish the vibration of health (handout) - Learn the U-Nan healing pattern: The primary Universal Cellular Pattern - The Elastic Light Bandage-doubles the length of the post-session healing period meaning the tissue continues healing for four to six days. - U-Nan: Connecting to Knowledge, Abundance, Love, and Longevity.
Prerequisite: Quantum-Touch Live Basic� Fee: $80 Linda is a graduate of Sancta Sophia Seminary in Tahlequah, OK with a Practitioners certificate in Spiritual Healing and Pastoral Counseling. She serves the Central, Eastern, and Southern Arkansas areas including Little Rock and Hot Springs. Linda is a certified Quantum-Touch instructor and practitioner and is available to travel for either the video or live basic workshops, and Advanced techniques classes.
