KEYS TO SOUL-CENTERED THERAPY
Rev. Carol Beyer, Ph.D.
Carol BeyerThis class will integrate both psychological and spiritual axioms into a more complete methodology for a counseling practice. As counselors become aware of the divinity within, they can utilize this knowledge to assist their clients in new directions. By incorporating spiritual practices into one's life, the level of consciousness rises and innovative insights are gained. Perceptions change, first for the therapist and then for their clients. When one recognizes the personality as the representative of the soul, there is hope for future happiness. It is a process of growing toward wholeness.

Whether you are a counselor, healer, body worker, or a spiritual seeker, personal growth is an objective of this course.

HEALING THE INNER CHILD WORKSHOP
Julia Carroll, M.A., A.T.R.
Julia Carroll"Healing the Child Within" addresses the least popular but most pressing issue - sexual abuse. Our children and our inner child must be healed for humanity to move forward. In this seminar, we will first acknowledge that sexual abuse exists. We will immediately move to positivism psychology to provide hope and encouragement. As we move through and overcome the trauma, we become confident, strong, and capable of contributing to society.

June 15 - 20

INTUITIVE DEVELOPMENT I

Revs. Carol E. Parrish and Katherine Zakutansky
AM session: Uncovering Your Hidden Talent

Psychic ability is not a goal in itself; it is an integral part of spiritual development. Deepen your understanding of inner knowing as you learn to access higher levels of self. This class includes lectures, group work, and personal instruction with an emphasis on ethics and spiritual laws. Awaken new senses and become a conscious worker in harmony with inner awareness to better serve humanity and the higher world. This class is fun-for everyone is psychic!

PM session: Shustah Meditation Tools

Shustah cards, designed to prompt natural intuition, enable one to establish communication between inner and outer perceptions. Symbols enhance meditation and divination as they connect us with archetypal energies. In this class, latent intuition awakens as instruction, experience with the symbols, and group work are provided.

Integral Remote Viewing
By Wayne Carr, Ph.D.
seeing clearlyWhat is Remote Viewing?

Remote viewing is a "non-local" technique whereby one can experience being present at an undisclosed location that can be thousands of miles away. One can see, feel, touch, smell hear and be at this distant location just by using one's mind and attention in a special way!

Remote viewing differs from what is referred to as psychic in that it is a highly refined specific sequence of attentional operations that takes about an hour to do. It has built in safeguards to minimize contamination by one's own imagination and belief systems. It creates the possibility of a new "signal purity" and "signal strength" previously attainable by only a few if any.

Special Weekend Workshop
REMOTE VIEWING WORKSHOP
Wayne Carr, Ph.D.
Dr. Wayne CarrDr. Wayne Carr is a major pioneer in spiritual, psychological, therapeutic, medical and group remote viewing. He has refined these techniques through teaching hundreds of workshops & through working therapeutically with many individuals & couples as a psychotherapist. One of his major goals is to apply remote viewing to many different disciplines and take remote viewing and similar processes to new levels that profoundly accelerate movement to one's next spiritual-emotional developmental stage. The ultimate nature of the heart, mind & existence is approached from the relatively dogma-free perspective of non-local consciousness.

Join us for this most interesting weekend as Dr. Carr shares his techniques for remote viewing. We will experiment together.

June 29 - July 3
