Spiritual Awareness Fellowship presents

Joy in Your True Nature through Mindful Authentic Movement

p
resented by Molly A. Valerio, DTR, LCSW, BCD

Friday,April 1, 2005, 7:00 PM

 

Molly, a teacher of Mindful Authentic Movement, works in dance-movement therapy and clinical social work.  Her practice has evolved into the designing of classes that assist the participant in achieving more inner peace and joy.  Through music, movement, breathing techniques, and mantra, individuals are able to renew a sense of Oneness with their own divinity and the divinity of those around them.  They become aware that their essence is Divine Love.

Mindful Authentic Movement begins when one places the attention within the stillness of being in a safe environment.  As one allows physical movement to occur within that stillness, there is a natural flow that causes the balancing of energy in body and mind.  This balancing is the key to the powerful opening of the heart center allowing one to experience a sense of freedom, wholeness, and infinite fun!  MAM is an inner alchemy.  It is nothing less than magical!

“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” ~Eckhart Tolle

THE COMING OF TAN: from a sharecropper kid to a mothership near Saturn for a downloaded education alien style.


with author Riley Martin

 

Friday, April 8th  6:00 – 9:00pm. Book signing and Lecture

 

Born 1946 into a family of sharecroppers where adults can not read or write.  
In 1953 two aliens took little Riley on his first trip to their mothership near Saturn.
Riley's second trip was when he was 18.  It was on this trip that they placed a strange
looking headset on him... then in a matter of seconds... download into his brain...
the history of humanity, alien insights, and a whole lot more plus beautiful
symbols by the thousands.

Now there seems to be no limit to what Riley can talk about.

O-Qua Tangin Wann... is the name of Riley's alien friend.
When Riley was just a kid he called him Tan.
In 1980 Tan released a block they had on Riley's memory.
A few years later Riley wrote it down.  It was a 593 page manuscript...
(from a sharecropper kid)?
Riley called it
The Coming of Tan

 

Riley went from a sharecropper kid to brilliant.
How could that be?
I heard his sister say... we thought they were all stories.


This story starts one night when Riley was seven years old... he saw a strange light out by the river, he tried to wake up his brothers and not one of them would wake from their sleep.   The next night the lights were brighter and little Riley was more excited and this time he tried to wake up everyone in the house including his parents.   Then on the third night when the lights appeared again he didn't attempt to wake his family... he took his trusted dog Brownboy and they went to the river to investagate.

April 10th, 4:00 – 6:00pm,  $10 -$15 suggested donation - all are welcomed

You have within yourself the capacity to open to your true nature, to discover that you simply being is already whole and complete.  If you are willing to tell the truth then all false ideas, dreams and concepts of happiness or enlightenment will fall away revealing the core of you. This is who you are - true happiness.  

"In this investigation, one's own being effortlessly reveals itself.  As one grows comfortable in this deep peace, it extends into every aspect of life and regardless of external actions or circumstances, internal emotions or thoughts, this underlying truth of peace remains."

Brian Qara is spiritual teacher of the next generation.  Rooted in stillness, he is gifted at pointing people to a deeper realization of oneself.  He speaks with a charismatic and simple clarity in line with Ramana's self-inquiry, Zen, Tao, and infused with a modern day communication.  He offers a clear inquiry, guiding us free of our minds to the source of being.   He invites you to realize truth for yourself now.  It is with GANGAJI'S blessings that B.Qara extends this invitation to you.

The Six Mysteries of Love

Presented by Mervyn Brady

Tuesday, April 19, 7:00—9:00pm

Reserved Seating $10.00 $15.00 on the night of the event Reservations: 773-250-7113

 

Finding Love and Consciousness has been the goal of countless men and women, groups and institutions throughout the ages.  Few things have been so important to us.  The fact is that we all search for these things, perhaps not knowing what it is we wish to find.  Through his studies, Mervyn Brady, founder of The Academy of European Arts & Culture, has found that Love and Consciousness are in essence the same.

 

Both are gifts from a Higher World. As we are given moments of Consciousness, we are given moments of Love. The problem lies in that we don't know how to keep and nourish these moments. If we could understand the nature of these these moments Love and Consciousness would not be so elusive.

 

Love has its own laws and rhythms, beyond the illusions, generated by publicity and media. This lecture attempts to explain the Mysteries of Love, and more importantly to show the possibility of using Love for its highest end: to touch the Divine in us and the others.

 

"Awakening and Consciousness are not things to be achieved. They are gifts.
And first, we must learn to receive."                   -Mervyn Brady

 

Mr. Mervyn Brady, founder of The Academy of European Arts and Culture, is an international teacher and lecturer on philosophy and spiritual studies. He has spent the past 30 years researching Western art, philosophy and mysticism. The Academy is a school based on the awakening and nourishment of the Soul

 This event is sponsored by the 
Academy of European Arts and Culture.
The Academy is a non-profit international school
that focuses on the
study of Western art, philosophy
& mysticism.

Better & Better to you!

Spring is upon us and just as we til the soil for our gardens we should til the soil of our lives! 

My next Silva workshop is beginning April 23rd.  Four exciting days of relaxation and renewal! 

Saturday, 04/23/05, 9am - 5pm, MC101 (Mind Control) - on this day I explain how the brain operates and empower you to begin taking control and responsibility of your life.  Here I introduce simpler methods like sleep and awake control.  Early in this day we do the long relax, throughout the day I program positive messages to help you have an enjoyable experience in practicing at home.  (Homework is given and expected to be turned in for the next session)

 

Saturday, 04/30/05, 9am - 5pm, GSI202 (General Self-Improvement) - I think this is the most important day of all.  On this day you learn techniques that will help you move toward making positive changes in your life.  An intense day of analyzing the choices you have made and how they are leading you to your purpose in life.  We discuss changes in life, what they mean and how to better receive them.


Sunday, 05/01/05, 9am - 5pm, ESP202 (Effective Sensory Projection) - Today is a day of programming and understanding your connection to all living organisms.  Here you learn more about subjective communication, do more visualization and mental connecting exercises.  Inevitably, you will choose to ask questions about your practices from last week and discuss your progress on the road to self-improvement & empowerment.  You will also create your laboratory and meet your counselors in preparation for case working.


Saturday, 05/07/05, 9am - 5pm, AESP (Applied Effective Sensory Projection) - Your final day and another very important day of discovery.  We program human anatomy and spend this day doing cases.  We discover the thrill of helping others and learn the importance of these duties.
