Radionics. She will talk about Self-Care Techniques for the Coming Times. Empower yourself by
learning ‘How To Use Herbal Medicine for Health and Magic.’ Dr. Kamhi is the author of many

15. CHRISTED CONSCIOUSNESS ON EARTH by DONNA D’INGILLO
The Center for Christ Consciousness is dedicated to assisting people in their spiritual
development to reach higher states of consciousness—to become their own centers of Christed
consciousness here on earth. The presentation will focus on various means of developing Christ
consciousness and discuss some of the challenges that are faced upon this path. We will
discuss how to deepen one’s personal relationship with the Indwelling Spirit presence of God, the
status of our planetary transformation, and how we may more fully participate with our creative
gifts and talents during this dynamic time on our world. A guided meditative experience will also
be presented to expand inner knowingness of your divinity.
22. THE COSMIC KALEIDOSCOPE: THE POWER OF A MOMENT IN TIME
by PENNY FARROW
With each passing moment the heavens rotate like the turning of a cosmic kaleidoscope. Each
turn creates a unique pattern – one that may not appear again for millennia. The heavenly
pattern present at the moment of birth indicates a unique trajectory for a person, a country or
even an idea. It is as if the heavens are speaking and we have only to understand the language.
Jyotisha or Vedic Astrology is the most effective of the divination arts of India in discerning the
unseen currents of karma present in the Cosmic Kaleidoscope. This is an introduction to this
ancient and fascinating system of astrology.
29. REBIRTHING: THE ULTIMATE CONNECTION WITH THE NON-PHYSICAL SPIRIT SELF
by GENTRY VITALE
Rebirthing is a modern, holistic, self-improvement method using a precisely defined wondrous
breathing technique to give one a profoundly positive and detailed awareness of one’s own mind,
body, emotions and spiritual Self. It is about surrendering to what is perceived as reality in one’s
experience and what could be possible in one's experience; so that these experiences are really
about gratitude for the miracle of existence. Through conscious breathing we can perform and
experience a heightened state of alertness and connection to the universe. Attendees will learn
a technique they can use for the rest of their life to reduce stress, increase energy and connect
to their Higher Self. A meal for the mind will follow.

5. THE TWELVE TRIALS OF NAROPA by TONY SPATARELLA
The Twelve Trials of Naropa is a Tantric journey beyond the intellectual mind, to a direct, naked
encounter with reality. Naropa seeks his guru, Tilopa, but must first shed his intellectual,
conceptual conditioning that shields him from reality. Only upon surrendering after a series of
intense psychological challenges, does Naropa encounter his guru, and awaken. Chogyam
Trungpa's book 'Illusion's Game' will be used as a reference. A meal for the mind will follow.
12. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR BRAIN by IRIS ALSHEH
What do most people worry about as they grow older? There have been plenty of things my
patients worry about: looks, vision, strength, sexual potency, and so on. But the hands down,
number-one thing people were concerned with over and above anything else is the decline of
their brains, the fogginess, the loss of memory, the struggle they’re having trying to keep the
same level of mental energy and focus. Many feel mentally fatigued, and that bothers them more
than any physical problem. And from what I’ve seen, as you get older, you’re very aware of it and
desirous of something to help with memory, attention, motivation and mental focus. So, what to
do? How can you repair your aging brain, and get better as you get older? We shall discuss
nutrients, food and movements that can help you to stop the process of the aging brain and even
reverse it.
19. UNDERSTANDING THE BHAGAVAD GITA by JANE CLEARY
Many have heard of this epic story which is the longest known poem in the world, yet few
understand the significance of its story or even less, the impression on the mind and thereafter,
the life changing impact it can effect for those who formally study its meaning. The focus of this
presentation will be to explain how the ultimate pursuits of any person, no matter how such
endeavors might be envisioned, essentially boil down to only one pursuit which is for unlimited
and lasting fulfillment. While there are many ways to phrase this goal it is not possible to
accomplish unless it is fully understood. This is the subject matter of the Bhagavad Gita and how
it unfolds this goal will be the basis of this talk.
26. RUMI & WHITMAN: EAST AND WEST MEET IN THE FIELD OF MYSTIC UNITY
by PETER ROGEN AND CARY BAYER
Jalaluddin Rumi (13th century Sufi) and Walt Whitman (19th century American), each in his own
way, ex- panded his consciousness from the individuality of a local poet to touch the universality
that beats at the mystical center of every human life. In varying degrees, both drank of the joys of
the "cosmic life" and delighted in describing them, tasted the immanence of God, and felt a
boundless love for their fellow human beings. Both wrote to inspire their comrades to wake up
from a "long sleep." In this poetic recital, East and West meet in a special 'field', one that Rumi
described: "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,/there is a field./When the soul lies
down in that grass,/the world is too full to talk about..." In "Leaves of Grass,” particularly his epic,
"Song of Myself,” Whitman expresses what it's like to lie down in that grass.
Peter Rogen has presented Rumi's poetry at Yale University and New York's Metropolitan
Museum of Art; Cary Bayer wrote his Masters' thesis on Whitman and is the author of Walt
Whitman: Poet of Enlightenment. Peter and Cary will let the poems do most of the talking, while
welcoming discussion from the audience as it awakens to the Presence that inspired the two
poets and that beats inside every heart.

4. THE INNER GOVERNMENT OF THE WORLD by ENRIQUE RENARD
The notion of the existence of an Inner Government of the World puzzles many when told about
it. Is it possible that there could be such a thing? Efforts were always made to prevent the UN
from becoming one, and the Organization is merely a parliamentary body with only advisory
powers. But the esoteric tradition tells us a different story. In Theosophy we are told that the
theosophical movement was inspired by certain Masters or Adepts Who constitute a body whose
work is connected to the evolution of Mankind. This presentation will explain who these Masters
are, why is it that so very few know about Their existence, and the viability of it. A meal for the
mind will follow.
12. NO SPEAKERS FORUM DUE TO CONVENTION
18. THE NEPTUNE SOCIETY by PATTI WALL
The presentation will explain why one should prearrange funeral arrangements. It will explain
the Neptune Society, what they do and what is included with our prearrangements to make it
simple and easy for our loved ones.
NOTE: On March 18th, a members meeting will follow at 4:30 PM
25. THE PURPOSE OF OUR EXISTENCE by JURGEN KRUPPA
The descent of spirit into matter and its return; does it make sense and why is it happening? Are
we willing participants? What mechanisms are involved? What is our position in this cycle? Why
does it take so long? Are we being helped? What will the end result be? Are we returning to
spirit, if yes, how are we different from the beginning?
