Intermediate Astrology with Dennis Acrea
Higher Self Astrology Intermediate:
Transits and Progressions
Astrology is a useful tool for illuminating the Soul's Path and discovering a vision of one's place within the whole in this lifetime. The Seeker will find that astrological symbolism helps to intensify one's own self-awareness as we learn that the force behind the movement of the planets is the same force that moves each of us. Those who complete this class will learn how to identify themes that unify the personality and explore techniques to promote identification with one's Soul.
Pre-requisite: Completion of Astrology I with Dennis or similar study with another. If you have studied elsewhere, please contact Dennis for a brief interview. 612-378-3602
This is a four-part course, with classes in April, May and June. For course objectives, cost, dates of classes, etc...please

Saturday, April 20 ~ 7:00-9:00pm
" I drum, I move, I dance. I bring light into myself. I bring joy into the world. I am an instrument of Godde's peace."
Dawn Andersen"
Join us for our monthly drumming circle as we gather to celebrate and to deepen our kinship with our Earth, with all sentient beings and with the Source of All. Each month we will celebrate the cycles of Nature that are pulsing around us and dancing through us.

She will also take you into safe and simple group and individual experiences that will provide a magical glimpse into the afterlife and allow you to connect more deeply with yourself, loved ones and the Great Spirit.
All are welcome. Bring a light potluck lunch item to share, a light blanket, eye cover (bandana), drum/rattle (optional), pen, journal and an open mind and heart.

Spirit United Matters
- The Spirit Vine Listeners will be available after church services for a one-on-one talking/listening session for anyone who needs an ear or support for whatever may be happening in his or her life. You will find a Spirit Vine person outside the meditation room after the service for this purpose. This idea and request came from several of those people attending the "Who are We and Where are We going " forum a few weeks ago. Thanks for the suggestion.
- Have you ever considered participating in a special way during the Sunday service? The opportunity to step into the role of facilitator and/or announcer is at hand. There will training sessions before the service on April 21 (9:45-10:15am) in the gathering area and again after the service (12:00-12::30pm) in the Theosophical Society Reading Room downstairs.
