In these troubled and volatile times it's particularly difficult to wish each other a 'Happy' Memorial Day. And yet, with the unprecedented emphasis on military expansion and aggression it is more important than ever that we honor our fallen soldiers. In 1915 Moina Michael promoted the Memorial Poppy. She wrote this short verse:
"We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies."
The custom of wearing a paper poppy or placing them on the graves of soldiers doesn't seem to be that popular these days, however I hope we can promote this verse:
It was over 2500 years ago that Plato wrote, "Only the dead have seen the end of war." How horrible it must be for them to be watching from above as we continue to fight, choosing fear rather than choosing love, making war rather than being loving. Let's join their cause and ensure their deaths were not in vain. Let's do all we can to promote, pray, visualize, and affirm that we the living will see the end of war... and that
"That peace on earth should grow, grow, grow!"
THE NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE
Reminder: At 3 PM on Monday,
wherever you are, no matter what you are doing, (and I hope you're having a picnic with family and friends) Please take a full minute to pause and reflect on the purpose of Memorial Day- and to renew your personal resolve to chose love over fear and to promote peace on earth.

Working With the Rising Spiritually-Emergent Population
7.5 CECs for Practitioners
Over the past century the helping professions including Psychiatry, Psychology, Social Work, and Psychotherapy have been sorely devoid of Spiritual knowledge and application. This remains the case, in spite of an explosive interest and need by individuals and cultures world-wide. This upsurge in interest is evidenced by the rising popularity of Yoga, meditation, Shamanism, Energy Medicine, Higher Consciousness, medium-ship, paranormal and anomalous experiences, UFO-logy, and the resurgence of psychotropic use for mental health. In this workshop we provide an in-depth review of the meaning of Spiritual Emergence and the application of Spiritual practices as identified by the Integrative, Multi-Dimensional, Transpersonal, Humanistic, and Psychedelic trends for Practitioners. We will provide experiential exercises, practical suggestions, concrete examples and case studies for determining diagnosis.

Think! And Get Your Wings On!
The title of this workshop series
Think! And Get Your Wings On! is not meant to be taken literally for our physical bodies. There are many YouTube videos (most of them are presented as spells) that promise literal physical wings will grow as a result of utilizing their spells. In the Wonderful World of Celestial Empowerment we don't use spells. Evolving ourselves to become illumined beings (with or without etheric wings) is our individual responsibility and requires that we do our own footwork. In this world where the Cosmos is our oyster, we need tools for oyster shucking. We train ourselves to let go of the outcomes of our efforts and keep going because we understand that not every oyster has a pearl. We learn to trust that we are doing this work to evolve ourselves into our highest potential-from Homo sapiens to Homo luminous, Homo divinicus, Homo universalis, and/or Homo angelicus.
Will resume in the Fall
