Here is a list of current and upcoming events at the Center for Spiritual Growth.


Being Here Now - NOTICE: This Event Has Been Canceled!

August 25, 2010 - 7 pm --- TBA

by Freddie Weber

 

The concert “BEING HERE NOW” by Freddie Weber is an original musical comedy and One Woman Show, based on her spiritual work with Eckhart Tolle and “The Power of Now” and "A New Earth."

From Broadway Award-winning Performer to traveling Spiritual Teacher, Ms. Weber tells and sings about her spiritual journey through all of our human identities: who we think we are—who we’re afraid we are—to the truth of who we really are.

Through her music and humor audiences get in touch with the still small voice inside all of us. The concert lasts one and a half hours.



“I had never seen our audience so delighted and so wonderfully entertained.  To say she is a delight is an understatement."

Rev. Joseph Byrne, Corpus Christi, TX

This concert will  be held in air conditioned comfort of the sanctuary!

Self Healing Through the Heart Center

Date and Time TO BE ANNOUNCED

by Neil Gilbert

Healing comes not through an effort of ego but rather through surrender to healing forces that are inspired by the Divine.  

This experiential class will teach a deepening sequence of guided meditation, chakra balancing, and visualization exercises to stimulate mind-body-spirit healing for self and others. The overall purpose is to guide participants to a state of consciousness to experience the healing presence of the Heart Center.

We will start with a centering on the four attributes of the Heart Center; compassion, innate harmony, healing presence, and
Divine Love. This will be followed by a self administered Healing Touch exercise that uses body energy to activate and balance the chakra energy centers. The culminating step of the sequence will be a type of prayer healing where we visualize our self and/or loved ones, inside our Heart Center infused with Divine healing energy.  

In some types of prayer healing one sends loving healing thoughts and prayers out to the person in need. In this class we will practice bringing our loved ones and/or our self into our Heart Center, surrounded with Divine healing energy that we allow to fill up our hearts.  
The intention is to temporarily melt into the Healing Presence and its transformative power and then return to normal consciousness feeling refreshed and restored.

Date and Time TO BE ANNOUNCED

(This class will be rescheduled from the original April 28 date)

Behavioral and measurable learning objectives:

1.  Attendees will identify at least one area of their life where they are out of balance or out of integrity.

2.  Attendees will become aware of what each of their clients is reflecting in themselves and use it as a tool to become 100% responsible for the fulfillment of their vision.

3.  Attendees will step into a higher level of accountability by identifying what choices they’ve been making that have left them out of integrity and what choices they need to make to bring forth balance and integrity. 

4.  Attendees will leave the presentation with clear action steps that will support them in creating and maintaining balance on a daily basis; a balance of being and doing.

Relevance to conference attendees:

The Balance Act – Being AND Doing will support attendees in gaining clarity around the significance of who they are being in the world versus all that they are doing.  Our society tends to place value on production, taking pride in multitasking which is resulting in stress and disease leaving one to feel out of balance.  Coaches as well as the general public will benefit from this presentation as it will bring individual awareness around the choices they are making and how those choices are affecting themselves and everyone around them. 

Main points to be covered in the presentation:

1.  What area or areas of my life am I out of integrity?  How am I not taking 100% responsibility for my life? 

2.  At what level of integrity am I functioning as a coach?  If we are not living up to all our potential then we are out of integrity.  Life is meant to be lived fully.  If we are out of alignment with our skills or dharma then issues will continue to show up to let us know we are off track.

3.  How are my clients reflecting me?  What support structures do I have to put in place to assist me in creating learning in each moment? 

4.  Being AND doing – what does that look like in my life?

How does the presentation differ from others:

The Balancing Act – Being AND Doing will differ from others that might address the same topic by the process that attendees will be facilitated through.  The intention of this presentation will be to guide the attendees “out of their minds” and into their heart for the purpose of using their “inner wisdom” as a means to connect them with a new sense of being and allowing them to experience the moment.  Using their experience that will be birthed from the presentation, attendees can then create specific action steps that will allow them to connect with their “inner wisdom” on a regular basis, further supporting their vision, their clients and the world.

Date and Time TO BE ANNOUNCED

How would you like to learn about a system that can actually help you become more resilient, productive, creative, happier and healthier? A program that will help you control the stress that takes a toll on your relationships, immune and cardiovascular systems? In other words . . . to renew your ability to stay in your Authentic Self.

Over 1,400 biochemical reactions happen in our bodies when we are stressed. Some 85% of all doctor visits are stress related, and most conditions get worse due to stress, real or imagined.  In these times of great change, we need to teach our bodies how not to respond in old patterned ways. 

Using heart power, we learn how to shift our physiology and create a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal, and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. Blood pressure drops, stress hormones plummet, the immune system pumps up, anti-aging hormones increase.  We gain clarity, calmness, control and the effects are both immediate and long lasting. We have been entrained in our physiology as humans to survive and now are being asked by the Universe to do more, to live heart-based lives.  Learn how to return to your Authentic Self in this class.

When we learn how and why to shift our physiology using the power of the heart, we actually create a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. 

We have been entrained in our physiology as humans to survive and now are being asked by the Universe to do more, to live more heart-based lives.
