Wednesday Noon Meditations
12:00-12:30 pm

Have you ever tried to meditate? Most of us are familiar with the benefits of meditation. (Daily meditation leads to successes such as better health, better concentration, and improved direction.) But many of us have difficulty or lack the required discipline. Every Wednesday at noon in the Sanctuary, William Ayers leads us in meditation. This is a great opportunity to become familiar with the basics of meditation and to improve your own practice. Come join us for a life-enhancing experience.


A Course in Miracles

Tuesdays, 7:15-9:00 pm

A Course in Miracles is a complete self-study spiritual thought system. As a three-volume curriculum consisting of a Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers, it teaches that the way to universal love and peace—or remembering God—is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The Course thus focuses on the healing of relationships and making them holy. A Course in Miracles also emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum, of which there are "many thousands." Consequently, even though the language of the Course is that of traditional Christianity, it expresses a non-sectarian, non-denominational spirituality. A Course in Miracles therefore is a universal spiritual teaching, not a religion.

Unity Yoga Classes

Wednesday Nights

Monday nights, 6:30 pm with Certified Yoga Instructor Donald Weeks.

Are you looking to stay fit spiritually and physically?

Then you are invited to check out the Beginner/Intermediate level Yoga Classes

What is Yoga?

The word Yoga is derived from the Sanskrit Root yuj meaning to bind, join, attach and yoke, to direct and concentrate one's attention on, to use and apply. It also means union or communion. It is the true union of our will with the will of God. 'It thus means,' says Mahadev Desai in his introduction to the Gita according to Gandhi, 'the yoking of all the powers of body, mind and soul to God; it means the disciplining of the intellect, the mind, the emotions, the will, which that Yoga presupposes; it means a poise of the soul which enables one to look at life in all its aspects evenly.'

B.K.S. Iyengar

Please bring a yoga mat and/or blanket and wear comfortable clothes.

COST: Love offering

Through Different Lenses:
Lecture on a case study from Jungian and Freudian Perspectives

Lecture by Cheryl Straus-Witty, PhD and Stephen Witty, PhD
Friday, April 11, 2008, 7:00 p.m.
Admission: $8 members, $12 non-members

How do the theories of C. G. Jung and Sigmund Freud stand up against each other a hundred years after the founding of the psychoanalytic movement? Dr. Cheryl Straus-Witty, a Freudian psychoanalyst and Dr. Stephen Witty, a Jungian analyst, compare post-Freudian and Jungian theoretical approaches by examining a single case study. Through close attention to the clinical material, they explore where the two theories may at times converge, move in different directions, contradict, and complement each other--and how they highlight each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Cheryl Straus-Witty, Ph.D., is a child and adult psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist. She has been in private practice in Colorado Springs since 1982. She is an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Colorado Health Science Department of Psychiatry and the Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis.
Stephen Witty, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist. He has been in private practice in Colorado Springs since 1982 and is on the Core Faculty of the C. G. Jung Institute of Colorado.

Dreams, Illness, and Spontaneous Healing
Lecture by Monika Wikman, PhD
Friday, May 30, 2008, 7:00 p.m.
Admission: $8 members, $12 non-members

As Carl Jung knew and as we can discover, dreams are like letters, messages from the core of creation that seek to realign consciousness with the flow of the Tao, with the life force that heals and can rebalance us at all levels of existence. This presentation and discussion will explore how, when we open to the energy and messages from the unconscious, we help grow individual relationship with this healing guiding presence in the psyche. This can clarify the origins of illness and help shape the individual path to wellness. Drawing on work in the field of death and dying and on research done at UC San Diego Medical Center on the dreams of individual people with terminal cancer, we will consider and discuss dreams and individual experiences of people finding their way through illness as the psyche illuminates the way.We will look into Jung’s work on the religious function and the reality of the healing dimension of the subtle body. We will explore the archetypal and personal patterns behind some illness patterns and spontaneous healing experiences.

Monika Wikman, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Tesuque, New Mexico. Her own experience with stage IV ovarian cancer and later recovery led her to research the dreams of cancer patients at UC San Diego Medical Center and to work analytically for decades with individuals facing life and death health crisis. She taught graduate students in psychology for years at Cal State Los Angeles and is a graduate of the Jung von Franz Center in Switzerland. Her book, Pregnant Darkness: Alchemy and the Rebirth of Consciousness, was published by Nicolas Hays in 2005.

Deeksha Blessing

Sunday, May 4th, 1:00-3:00 pm

Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) originated in India, and is well known through out India and Europe. Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) punches a hole through the wall of the mind. It is a hands-on transference of a Divine intelligent energy. This process creates a neurobiological shift in the brain and awakens the chakras (energy centers) in the body. This shift in consciousness begins to free you from the suffering created by the constant chattering of the mind. It balances the body's natural healing energies and attunes the brain, bringing a gradual end to the illusion of separation, thus Oneness.

Suggested Love Offering $25
