What we’re about
Welcome Spiritual Adventurers!
You are warmly invited to visit our in-person, video conferences and/or audio conferences on the "Events" tab to continue your spiritual exploration journey. We look forward to seeing you soon. Please join us for uplifting in person and virtual spiritual discussions and workshops that are open to all truth seekers, regardless of faith. These heart-opening discussions provide an opportunity to share our spiritual experiences and gain a greater understanding of them.
Have you had a spiritual experience?
Spiritual experiences can include:
* Prophetic dreams
* Deja vu
* Remembering a past life
* Out-of-body experience
* Flying in a dream
* Knowing the truth instantly
* Guiding intuitions
We meet to share and discuss spiritual experiences and topics in an open, friendly and respectful environment. Talking with others can help us understand what our experiences mean. We also discuss spiritual techniques and resources for gaining greater experience and insights.
Through regular use of spiritual exercises everyone can:
* Expand their awareness and enjoyment of life.
* Gain a personal understanding of the role of Karma and Reincarnation.
* Become active and Creative Dreamers.
* Experience Soul Travel, a form of expanded awareness and inner knowingness; which can also be an out-of-body experience.
* Awaken in consciousness and open their hearts to a deeper connection to God's love.
