Wednesday, February 1
Living, Dying, and Nonduality
7:30pm • Free, but call to reserve a seat
Aging in timeless peace happens when we rest in the light of aware living. This timelessness is not religious or philosophical or even, ultimately, spiritual; it's the practical reality of our need as we age to understand time from a non-dual perspective. It's engaging and transformative, shining a new light on what we think we know about who we are, what life is, and what death is. Learn why and how we suffer unnecessarily from our own ideas about life, living and dying. James Waite is the author of Fading in the Light and Real, Whole, Here and Happy!

Beating Cancer Can Be Fun

John Hall
was diagnosed with Melanoma Cancer IV, had surgery to remove 10 metastasized tumors, but afterwards was informed by his doctor that there was little or no hope for recovery. Two years later, he now celebrates his healing from the cancers, and feels his healing is due to mainly 3 factors: learning to eat the correct foods, dealing with his fear, and deepening his faith and trust in our Creator. These are the factors he'll explain as he discusses his book, Beating Cancer Can Be Fun: Cancer-Fighting Strategies for First-Time Diagnosed Cancer Patients.

Healing Houses

With a nod to cross-cultural perspectives, validating research from physics, and basic house healing practices, it's bound to be an amazing lecture. www.HealingHouses.com

The Art of Confession
7:30pm • Free, but call to reserve a seat
There is a prevalent epidemic of over-sharing in today's culture—on talk shows, Facebook, Twitter, etc.—that we mistake for honesty.

No matter who you are or what you believe, practicing a daily reevaluation of your actions facilitates personal growth, self discovery, positivity, and the opportunity to start the day anew with a clean slate.

How to Work with Emotions

There is a delicate balance between self-expression and self-control. Too much of one undermines the other. Feelings expressed in a state of volatile emotion can seriously damage the harmony of a relationship. But when feelings are commonly repressed, the damage is likely to be to one's own health. Finding the right balance begins with knowing the difference between the needs of the ego and the needs of the soul. Join spiritual counselor Asha Praver for insights into this all-important topic, and practical ways to ensure the best response in difficult situations.
