Keynote Presenters Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi The Art of Forgiveness Thursday, April 19, 8:30 – 10:00am (1.5 CE credits) Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi will discuss what true forgiveness really means, the importance of forgiveness for healing and how the lack of forgiveness blocks us from our true self and keeps us prisoners of our own emotions. She will show us how when we dare to forgive both ourselves and others, more light and love penetrates the heart chakra, which then enables the Higher Self to pour more grace into your life, raising your consciousness and freeing your personality. Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi is a dynamic visionary and spiritual master, whose mission is Global Enlightenment, whose message is Love. An advocate of interfaith dialogue, Sai Maa’s profound yet timely teachings bridge East and West, old and new, traditional and modern.

Morphic Fields and Morphic Resonance: Implications for Healing, Family Memory, the Collective Unconscious, and Archetypes Friday, April 20, 8:30 – 10:00am (1.5 CE credits) It is usually assumed that the laws of nature are fixed, but in an evolutionary universe the laws may evolve, or be more like habits. The hypothesis of morphic resonance proposes that there is an inherent memory in all species, which in the human realm underlies what Jung called the collective unconscious. Social groups too, like families, have an inherent memory given by morphic resonance. This hypothesis sheds a new light on the nature of memory. Rupert Sheldrake, PhD is a biologist and author of more than 75 scientific papers and five books, including A New Science of Life: The Hypothesis of Formative Causation, The Presence of the Past and Sense of Being Stared At. He was a Fellow of Clare College Cambridge, and a research Fellow of the Royal Society. He is currently the Perrott-Warrick Research Scholar, funded by Trinity College, Cambridge, and a Fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Christine Page, MD Alchemical Healing Saturday, April 21, 2:30 - 4:00pm (1.5 CE credits) True healing does more than just restore a physical state. It’s an alchemical process of transformation, illness being less of a problem and more often the solution. At least 60% of illness is a wake up call from the soul, bringing opportunities for change unlike any other catalyst, if we would only listen to the wisdom of the body. Alchemical healing requires us to move away from the concept of merely “fixing” or removing the disease towards a deeper appreciation of an individual’s journey with the practitioner, intuitively listening to the pulse of the client’s soul to bring maximum effectiveness to their practice with minimal effort. Christine Page, MD has over 30 years of experience in the caring professions both as a medical doctor, homeopath and teacher. Through her work, she is committed to finding ways to enhance a state of well-being through enhancement of the intuition, listening to the wisdom of the body and working in co-operation with the more natural elements of this world. Author of five books, her latest being Spiritual Alchemy, she has a gift of taking complex ideas and making them simple to understand and practice. Wherever she is, her message is the same: find your center, live your truth and celebrate the deepest connections possible. 2 Evening Events NEW! One Day Event Her Holiness Energizing the Self: A Special Day of Renewal Sacred Relationships Fee: $150 • Wednesday, April 18 9:00am – 12:00pm and 2:00pm – 5:00pm Registration is limited. Sign up early to guarantee your place. Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi Fee: $30 • Open to the Public Thursday, April 19, 7:30 – 9:30pm Do you often wonder about the purpose of relationships? What are the ingredients of a Sacred Relationship? Is it even possible? Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi will illuminate for you the role that fear plays in keeping us from experiencing the bliss that a divine relationship can offer. She will show how a relationship is a mirror to our divine Self, and helps you to grow. With great clarity she will help you to discern the motivation for entering a relationship and how to grow and be aware in a relationship. Not just for couples, this workshop is for all who want to improve their relationships with others. We have chosen three unique experiential opportunities designed to take care of YOU. A great investment of your time and money, these trainings will help you in every aspect of your life. You can select two out of the three workshops listed below, one for the morning and one for the afternoon, and no pre-registration for your choice is required. (Sorry, CE credits are NOT available.) Developing Harmony Through the “Four Centers” – An Experiential Workshop Using Movements from the Martial Arts Dancing in the Light The term “centered self” describes a person who is in the moment, energetically and psychologically secure, not spilling or projecting into the interpersonal field and ready to perceive and authentically respond to the other. In this experiential workshop you will be guided through movements and energy work taken from the martial arts including Aikido, Kenjutsu and Chi Gong with the goal of exploring “four centers” within our bodies. The greater the balance and harmony between them, the greater our sense of “centeredness.” Our specific goals are to: 1) attune to and modulate our energy in the presence of the other, and 2) maintain boundaries during compassion and conflict and more fully access the “authentic self.” No Fee • Dance Party Thursday, April 19, 9:30 – 11:00pm Expand your consciousness further with fun and frolic. We heard it through the grapevine that you are going to want to “jump” with joy until the last dance. Meet and connect with new and old friends. New Member Networking Reception No Fee • Cash Bar • Network Event Friday, April 20, 5:00 – 6:00pm Rupert Sheldrake, PhD Peter Sternberg, LCSW has practiced psychotherapy for 30 years and is a dynamic trainer. He attained a third degree black belt in Budo Aikido and has studied a variety of other arts: Kenjutsu, and Chi Gong. Peter has incorporated movements and concepts from the martial arts into clinical practice and training. The Mind Beyond the Brain: Recent Experimental Evidence Enhancing the Power of the Intuition Intuition is our eternal friend whose insights often appear out of the blue as an “Ah-ha!” This understanding appears with such a sense of certainty we will stake our lives on it, opening ourselves to greater clarity, easier decision making, more honest relationships and enhanced health. Intuition is available to everybody but we often fail to follow its advice due to fear of rejection, humiliation, change or failure. This experiential workshop will strengthen your ability to listen to and follow your intuitive wisdom, bringing benefits to your work and relationships and a closer connection to your inner truth and true potential. Fee: $30 • Open to the Public Friday, April 20, 7:30 – 9:30pm We have been brought up to believe that our minds are located inside our heads. This view turns out to be much too narrow. Our minds may extend beyond our brains in every act of perception, and affect what we are looking at. This phenomenon may underlie the sense of being stared at, for which there is now strong experimental evidence. Our connections with other people may also underlie the phenomenon of telepathy. Recent investigations of telepathy between mothers and babies, and of telephone telepathy, have yielded highly significant positive results. New tests are now available online in which participants will be invited to take part. Christine Page, MD (See bio on page 2) Blessings for your Soul This workshop will immerse you in the grace of Her Holiness Sai Maa Lakshimi Devi. A team of Master Teachers from Humanity in Unity will lead you in experiential activities to initiate a process of transformation and increase your capacity for Enlightenment.

Karaoke Fun Fee: $10 • Open to the Public Saturday, April 21, 8:00 – 11:00pm Increase fun and connection. Sing your favorite songs. See the board of directors imitate their favorite artists.

Gene Expression and Energy Psychology: The Science Behind the Effectiveness of Energy Psychology A frequent criticism of Energy Psychology is: it works, but where’s the science behind it? Until the field establishes solid scientific research and a credible set of theories that explain the mechanisms at work, its spread among licensed health professionals, hospitals, and clinics will necessarily be limited. Even ardent supporters of Energy Psychology often are unaware of how good the science is behind these practices. This presentation aims to provide a clear scientific understanding of the precise physiological mechanisms at work, and enable attendees to explain some of the research and theoretical basis for the practice of these methods.

What is Energy Psychology (EP)? Based on an integration of quantum physics, psychology, Eastern medicine, and spirituality, EP posits that psychological problems are a reflection of disturbed bio-energetic patterns. EP methods help clients learn tools to directly influence these patterns. Clients learn skills to self-regulate, rapidly reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, anger, trauma, guilt, shame and depression. The mind-body connection involves a two-way communication system modulated by the energy pathways and centers of the body. EP utilizes these energy pathways while working with disturbances in thought and emotion to more rapidly and thoroughly effect change. EP provides tools to quickly assess unconscious beliefs and resistances, release limiting beliefs and blocked emotions, promote readiness to change and strengthen positive attitudes.
