The Upanishads – sacred writings revealed to the sages of the Vedic civilization perhaps 5,000 years ago, are (along with the Vedas) the oldest expression of the spiritual wisdom which underlies all religions. Within their precise poetry, we find a mystical vision of the deep unifying intelligence which is, and which permeates, all of creation.

The Upanishads serve as sacred texts of Hinduism, and have influenced modern thinkers such as Goethe, Yeats and Emerson. Their profound explorations about the nature of reality, the unity and interconnectedness of all things, and the peace to be found within that understanding and self-knowledge – the very heart of the Vedic revelation – are the core of most modern spirituality.

Join Rev. David Wallace for a six week exploration of these extraordinary texts. Taught seminar style, we will together read and discuss the major Upanishads along with parts of the Vedas, and share some experiential time as well. No prior knowledge is expected, and no advanced reading is required.

When someone loses a loved one to violence their grief is different. We want to serve them but don’t know what to do or say. We have difficulty processing our own response to the death and can be ineffective at a time when we are most needed. This workshop will help you serve people who have lost a loved one to a violent or sudden death: homicide, suicide, drug overdose, war, terrorism, vehicular manslaughter, natural disaster or any sudden event. You will learn about traumatic grief in the first five years and the involvement of the criminal justice system. We will explore your personal responses to these kinds of death and how to deal with your feelings. You will learn what survivors need and how to serve them—and what not to do. We will also explore how to create meaningful rituals and services for this kind of death so you can help people honor their loved ones.

Kathleen O’Hara, MA is a psychotherapist, international keynote speaker, workshop and retreat provider, policy and program developer and author of A Grief Like No Other, surviving the violent death of someone you love. She has worked extensively in the field of traumatic grief and victims’ rights advocacy in the US, Canada and the UK. She writes a daily blog for the bereaved called In the Name of the Fire at www.inthenameofthefire.wordpress.com.

What is the Bible? Unearthing the Authentic Teachings for Spiritual Growth with Rev. Jane Galloway, PhD
November 10 & 17; December 1 & 8; 7-9PM
Registration $99 - Elective Credits: 1
Available via Audiobook Download

The Bible is not one book. It is a collection of wisdom texts from may different eras. Because of the many ways in which this collection has been misunderstood and used as a battering ram and not a wisdom text, many have discarded any deeper understanding of the Book. This misunderstanding is deeply unfortunate, and for anyone preparing for ministry of any kind it represents an area in which the mythic sub text of much of the world is not understood. This class will look at what the book is and what it is not, give you tools to delve into the deeper secrets contained within the wisdom text, and help you to understand the public and religious health codes, letters of many seekers and apocryphal books.

Rev. Dr. Jane Galloway, Spiritual Director, Sacred Center New York, is passionate about healing the communities around her. Her vision for Sacred Center, indeed the world at large, is one of collaboration and connection. She believes that by cultivating an atmosphere of open and authentic conversation we move toward oneness.

Finding a Place in Society: Intuition, Meditation and Healing for Young Adults in a Life Transition, Stephen & Tasha Halpert

Sunday Oct. 9th, 12:30pm – 5:30pm
Register Here



The transition period between the end of our educational years and the beginning of our lives as independent adults can be some of the most challenging, but they also contain a wealth of opportunity. As young men and women, we often prepare ourselves to step into the world full of hopes and dreams, only to be met quickly by some of the harsh realities of life. It is no easy task to find our place in culture and society, and it can be even more difficult to discover who we really are as human beings. And much too rarely do we encounter individuals with the wisdom and compassion to mentor and guide us during these turbulent times.

Stephen and his wife Tasha Halpert are two such individuals. For over 30 years the Halpert’s have worked as spiritual counselors and teachers of meditation and intuitive development. As life coaches, Tasha and Stephen have traveled extensively across the globe working with young people in their transition to adulthood, guiding them toward the fulfillment of their dreams as well as the ability to have happiness, good health, a successful career, fulfilling relationships, and a meaningful place in society.

Love, Power & The Body: Step Into The Fullness of Living with Dylan Newcomb and Samantha Sweetwater

Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience two powerful integral embodiment teachers working together for the first time. And as an extra bonus to maximize the impact of this unique event, One Spirit has decided to offer a special gift: register now and bring one guest for FREE!

Power and love are so much more than the many concepts we each hold around them - they are the essential energies of the embodied ground of being, through which we know our selves and our connection with the world. Your capacity to feel and express both love and power is central to your ability to experience meaning, belonging, direction, purpose, passion, connection and joy in your life. It is only when we are grounded in the living, breathing, sensing biology of our bodies that we come to know the true source of our power – an embodied sense of love for ourselves. We can then manifest the deep goodness of healthy love and healthy power, and fully feel the truth of the moment as it lives through every fiber of our being.

This fun and invigorating full-day intensive is the perfect opportunity to experience the cutting-edge evolutionary embodiment tool-kits of both UZAZU and Dancing Freedom. Skillfully weaving together the layers of sensation, emotion, thought and action, Integral embodiment experts Dylan Newcomb and Samantha Sweetwater lead you through an experiential journey, integrating movement, sound, attention, intention, co-creative dialogue, and circle-work.

As we realize the many layers of filtering that distorts our perceptions, we begin to taste our own experience more directly with less interference from those ubiquitous filters. This unique experience will introduce you to a direct approach for connecting with yourself as you connect with others. As you incorporate new methods to see through the perceptual screens that distort your awareness and to navigate the many levels of consciousness, you will become better able to metabolize your experience, evolve your consciousness and participate in a genuine “experience of WE”. At the same time your capacity to support others on the same journey as a mentor, minister, healer, leader or spiritual friend will grow in important ways.

Thomas Hübl is a contemporary spiritual teacher with an uncompromising clarity on the importance of spiritual friendship and the potential to create an enlightened “Culture of WE”. His workshops and trainings invite people to experience a deeper dimension of self-awareness and individual responsibility. The radical path of transcendence from the ego-centric world opens the door to deeply authentic expression, service to the world and to the focus on the absolute. Experiencing a driving force to take part in evolutionary processes, people apply their gifts into the world in a concrete way. For more information go to www.thomashuebl.com.
