An
Evening with Arjuna Ardagh
Tuesday,
October 14, 2008
7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Held at CSE
Cost: $35.00
In
just the last few years an extraordinary phenomenon has emerged out of
India, touching millions of people all over the world. The Oneness
Blessing, known in India as Oneness Deeksha, is a transmission of divine
energy that effects the activity of the brain, most commonly given by
placing the hands on the recipient’s head for a couple of minutes.
Recipients commonly report greater stillness, presence, causeless joy and a
feeling of "Oneness" with everything. The Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) can be
used to enhance physical healing, greater intimacy in relationship, material
wellbeing, and, most significantly, spontaneous and effortlessly living in
an "Awakening into Oneness."
Arjuna Ardagh, MA, is the author of The Translucent Revolution and five other books. His book: Awakening into Oneness, gives us a well researched peek into the profoundly transformative phenomenon called Oneness Blessing. Buy it in a bookshop near you or order your copy at: www.awakeningintooneness.org.
This event is being Co-Sponsored by the Willow Foundation.

What is Family Constellations? It is a deeply experiential method of helping individuals, couples, and families resolve issues in a gentle, powerful and non-judgmental manner. It helps individuals look at how events occurring in past generations impact our life experience today. It is most effective for those who can trust that solutions may be simple and happen in a short period of time. Our deepest bonds and loyalties are to our original family and all the previous generations. This work reveals the hidden patterns and entanglements that disrupt the natural flow of love between generations. These unseen family entanglements are often found behind many personal, professional, and even health related issues. By restructuring these imbalances and bringing harmony to the family system, we bring more peace and power to our lives.

Resolution is experienced at a deeply felt emotional and energetic level. For participants, loose and comfortable clothing is recommended. Please bring additional layers if you tend to get cold.
