Filling the Well of our Being: Scientific and Spiritual Insights for Health and Happiness
Feb 2 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Online w/ Upstate International

After the difficulties presented last year, finding both scientific and spiritual insights for health and happiness couldn’t come at a better time. Join the International Women’s Group in welcoming Dr. Shamini Jain of CHI (Consciousness and Healing Initiative) as she shares her expertise and helps us to learn and grow together.

Dr. Shamini Jain is the Founder and CEO of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI), a collaborative accelerator that faciliates the transdisciplinary science and real-world application of consciousness and healing practices. As a clinical psychologist, as well as a research scientist in the fields of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) and integrative medicine for over a decade, Shamini formed CHI through a deep understanding that major systemic transformations, which will place healing at the center of medicine and scientific inquiry, will most rapidly occur through a networked approach that fosters collaboration and innovation among key stakeholders. Shamini obtained her B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior from Columbia University, and her Ph.D. degree from the SDSU/UC San Diego Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology.

Join the UIWG on Tuesday, February 2nd at 10:00 am for this live, online presentation by Dr. Shamini Jain

Free to register; Registration required

Once you register you will receive a link and a passcode necessary to join the meeting on February 2nd.

Tarot Foundations – THE FIRST 22 MEETINGS – KEY 3
May 19 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Online

Tarot Foundations – the First 22 meetings will regularly meet on ZOOM on every third WEDNESDAY of each month at 7:00 PM EST. Please contact Gail Ramsey at [masked] to REGISTER for the ZOOM study group meetings.

This series of group work explores the foundation of Tarot based on the fundamental symbolism of the occult teachings that reveal the true nature of man, the universe and of their mutual relationship.

A short list of questions will be sent out prior to the meeting. This series is meant to be fun, creative and interactive. Those who are in attendance will receive the Key that we will be discussing and will be able to download the Key at that time.

What we’re about

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/1/6/6/event_116457702.jpeg

Founded by Dr. Paul Foster Case in the 1920s, Builders of the Adytum is a Mystery School and training order based on the Western Mystery tradition. This Qabalistic path has been described as the Yoga of the West, as it has much in common with esoteric Eastern spiritual practices.

B.O.T.A. members receive lessons in the mail in Tarot, Qabalah, Spiritual Alchemy, Esoteric Astrology and related disciplines. The coursework is challenging, far-reaching and immensely practical for everyday life.

B.O.T.A. Study Groups are a great introduction to Qabalah and esoteric Tarot, as well as an opportunity to foster the development of consciousness set forth in the B.O.T.A. curriculum. It’s open to the public, and we request a small donation from regular members to cover our overhead. Our Greenville, S.C. group meets on the third Sunday of each month. Most months we have a discussion on a topic from Tarot or Qabalah, which is sometimes followed by a guided Qabalistic meditation. But some months there are special events, such as our Vibratory Attunement Ritual. See the Meetup event announcements below for details. Newcomers are welcome to join in our discussions. No advance preparation is necessary; you need only bring your interest, imagination and inquiring mind. We hope to see you soon!

Group Ritual Work is also available to Greenville, S.C. B.O.T.A. members. Sometimes described as prayer in motion, ritual work has been practiced throughout the ages by spiritual aspirants. Combined with the lesson material, it can be a powerful catalyst to personal growth. After completing the requisite initial coursework, members may request Initiation and thereafter participate in our healing ritual work of Pronaos.

Our Spiritual Life in Changing Times
Jun 27 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
Online

Online event: Our Spiritual Life in Changing Times

This year has certainly been an interesting one for most of us, full of changes and uncertainties, as well as new experiences and new ways of doing things.

“But the gift of change is what brings spiritual unfoldment to us. It pulls us out of the routines of society, takes away everything familiar, and puts us in a strange place.” – Harold Klemp, How to Survive Spiritually in Our Times, p 307

As hard as change can be at times, could we really learn to see it as a gift? If so, how? And why should we? Why make the effort? Does changing our attitude about what we are experiencing affect how we experience it in any way?

Come share your thoughts and experiences as we talk about how our lives have changed and what those changes may mean to us spiritually.

We are so looking forward to seeing all of you again, as well as meeting new faces!

What we’re about

We live in a time of unprecedented interest in spirituality. Spiritual experiences are no longer the exclusive domain of religious leaders, saints, and mystics. They are a part of everyday living for millions of people. And these people have questions: Are their experiences real? What do they mean? How can a person have more experiences of the Divine?

Eckankar offers answers. It is an ancient spiritual teaching and a modern-day religion that offers spiritual techniques and resources for an individual to discover truth through personal experience.

Aquarius Full Moon Transmission + Mary Magdalene Feast Day Celebration!
Jul 22 @ 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Online

Aquarius Full Moon Transmission + Mary Magdalene Feast Day Celebration!

Welcome Beloveds!

This monthly transmission I am especially excited about because it falls just two days after Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day!

If you know me, you know how deeply connected I am to Mary Magdalene and her message. Learning about her and embodying her teachings has COMPLETELY changed my life!

Teaching others about her brings me so much joy, and it feels like the perfect mix to bring in the Aquarius Full Moon energy into the teachings of Mary Magdalene.

If you feel called, please wear something red to this gathering and/or anything that is infused with rose – candles, roses, rose water, etc.

I cannot wait to hold space for each of you in this way!

Please reach out with any questions.

Love and Blessings,

Amber

Spiritual Wisdom on CONQUERING FEAR
Nov 17 @ 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Panera Bread

Spiritual Wisdom on CONQUERING FEAR

You are invited to come share your thoughts, wisdom and questions on this month’s subject: Spiritual Wisdom on Conquering Fear. This is an informal gathering lead by one of the organizers. The purpose is to provide a place to share spiritual perspectives, personal experiences, and techniques on how to deal with life’s challenges.

“Truth reveals itself through the Light and Sound of God. Whether it comes to you through an animal, another person, or straight from the Holy Spirit, it comes with love.
Many people want to know how to get rid of fear. Fear isn’t something you can be talked out of. The secret of getting rid of fear is to open the heart center.
In a heart full of love, where is there room for fear?”

From Spiritual Wisdom on CONQUERING FEAR by Harold Klemp
