THIS SUNDAY Sage Lewis
October 5, 2014
10:30am-11:30am

"Blessing of the Animals:
What Would Scooby Do?
with Sage Lewis

Most of us can remember a connection we've had with an animal at some point in our lives, right?  We enjoy the butterflies and dragonflies all summer long, and the birds and squirrels entertain us through the fall and winter, but have you ever stopped to truly watch the animals?
    
Sage Lewis will take you into the world of the four leggeds, winged ones, and the finned and feathered to make you think twice about what it means to truly be connected to the animal world.  There will be a blessing of the animals and people at the end of the service.

Your leashed and secure animals are welcome to attend the service if you think they'd enjoy it!  Photos of deceased pets (or for those who would rather stay home) are welcome, too.

NEXT SUNDAY
October 12, 2014
10:30am-11:30am 

"In the Name of Light"
with guest speaker William Meader
and musician James Schattauer

Light is a term used in most spiritual traditions to depict the nature of divinity, both within oneself and hidden within the circumstances of life. Indeed, we often describe divinity in terms of the "light of God."

In this talk, William Meader will deeply consider the nature of spiritual light and its revelatory influence at this transitional period in human history.  The Light of Love/Wisdom, the Light of Purpose and the Light within the Head will be closely examined, as well as methods for bringing the Light of the Soul more fully into the fabric of our day-to-day lives.

Dr. James Ulness 6/11 LAST SUNDAY
September 28, 2014

"Human Nature
and the Social Order"
with
Dr. James Ulness
and musician Yazmin Bower

Dr. Ulness in his wisdom reminded us our growth comes from the struggles we face in these challenging times.  We chose to be here now to experience freedom and work towards leaving fatalism behind.  Be mindful of our opportunities "to know thyself" as higher than a petty personal self.  Ms. Bower graced us with her amazingly beautiful piano and vocal musical talent.

Public Talk:  Essentials of Ageless Wisdom:
T
he 10 Tenets of Esotericism
Thursday, October 9, 2014
7pm-9pm
$15 

These principles range from understanding the soul as it is found within all aspects of Creation, to the practical role spiritually-minded people are asked to play in support of humanity's upliftment.

Workshop-The Art of Becoming the Soul

Saturday, October 11, 2014       

10am-4pm       

$100 for SU members

   $110 non-members       

 

The spiritual journey is governed by one's yearning to be the soul. Each life brings us closer to this objective, and the end reward is enlightenment itself. Life is therefore a journey of wakening to the authentic self (the soul) and its full expression in the outer world. This is the Art of Becoming. In this workshop we will closely consider the process of becoming the soul. 

~~~~~  


Workshop-In the Image of God
You are the Divinity You Seek
Sunday, October 12, 2014
1pm-3pm
$30 for SU members
$35 non-members 

 

A new understanding about our relationship to the divine is slowly emerging. We are discovering that the path to God leads to our own divinity. Indeed, every expansion of consciousness gives us a deeper sense of the eternal soul and its sacredness. Through a deep inquiry into this fascinating subject, we shall discover that the seeker and the sought are but One.

Public Talk-The Art of White Magic

The purpose of life is to creatively express according to the soul's intention. This is spiritual creativity and is truly the magic of the soul. In this talk, William Meader will present the principles and skills related to this ancient art.

SOUL PORTRAIT   
to be drawn by 
Intuitive artist
Susan Van Sant 
       at the Fall Festival

Susan uses the vibrational energies of a person's voice to trigger images which she then sketches on charcoal paper with artist pencils. Alternating between drawing and describing what she sees, she gathers additional information as the drawing progresses. The finished image captures information about one's Soul, the present path, occasionally past life information that may be pertinent to challenges in this lifetime, and where one's journey is leading. People have reported that they are able to unfold more information through meditation by contemplating the images within their portrait

intuitive reading along with a soul portrait drawn at Spirit United's Fall Festival on Nov. 16 between 12pm-4pm.

Donation to SU $75

The reading takes approximately 45 minutes,
so there is only space for four people to gift themselves with a soul portrait.

Susan Van Sant Intuitive reading while drawing soul portraits

Testimonial by Barbara Bobrowitz:

 

For each of these portraits, Susan captured the energy of what was unfolding in my life with astounding accuracy. Among the many things that she foretold, these were the most memorable for me:  

 

1.)  She told me that she saw me hiking in the Andes Mountains.  When I responded that I had already done that twice and doubted whether I'd be going again, Susan insisted that this was still in the future.  Three years later, I was hiking the Inca trail in the Andes with shamans.

2.)  In 1991 when I was a full time high school Spanish teacher, Susan said that she saw me doing "some kind of energy work that she had no name for". The next year I attended a conference where I was introduced to Feng Shui and became one of the pioneers in teaching and consulting in Feng Shui in the Twin Cities.
