Scaling Up ‘One Truth, Many Paths’ in Modern Times
Description:
The nature of our modern world has many of us experiencing great grief and anxiety for the
future of our children and planet. As a result, many also may be awakening to the need for
a greater sense of authenticity and connection to something greater than themselves,
and/or sensing a great transformation is in process. Yet the way forward is unclear. In this
engaging talk, Susanna Calvert presents a developing framework for an inclusive and
practical approach to modern spirituality to scale (for all). Broadly applicable core beliefs,
tenets, and practices will be discussed, applied, and practiced as one way to begin creating
the heaven on Earth that we all dream about.

Re-Discovering Your Connection to the Elemental Forces of Creation
We have lost our oneness with the natural world. This separation has resulted in profound grief that has impacted our lives, our health, our relationships, and our trust in life. In this experiential engagement with the Elemental Forces of Nature (Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Spirit), Judy will guide us in tangible ways that we can listen and co-create in our daily lives, by developing a relationship with the elements that are the bedrock of all creation.
Judy Keating M.A. is a sacred space holder for humanity to reconnect to their own personal divinity and connection to the Natural World, including the elemental forces, the power of alchemy, and cultivating deep listening within for our own guidance. She uses activations, energy tools, play humor, acceptance, and non-judgement. Judy is adept at creating experiences that open our hearts and enter the Sacred Inner Temple we all have when we surrender the Ego and live the mystery.

Kabbalah and the Divided Brain. Maintaining Equanimity and Integration in Encountering the Stress of Fragmentation
4:00 - 5:30 pm PT
Description:
In this talk, insights drawn from the mystical faith tradition of Judaism--the Kabbalah, will be juxtaposed and interwoven with Iain McGilchrist’s Divided Brain Theory. Paradox and conflict are inherent in human existence, precipitating the need for equanimity and balance. Kabbalah proposes a panentheistic form of panpsychism as a way of re-framing this dynamic theologically.

Rewilding Love
Time:
7:00-8:30pm EST (4:00-5:30pm PST)
Description:
Just like nature can be rewilded, we too can be rewilded back to our natural state of love. Love is who we are at our core and what gets in the way of us experiencing that is our conditioning of thought that is designed to protect us and help us survive. Unfortunately, however, it does not help us thrive. Rohini will share how we can overcome our conditioning so we can be rewilded out of our normal state and back to our natural state of love.
Bio:
Rohini Ross is the co-founder of “The Rewilders” and podcaster of Rewilding Love, with her partner Angus Ross.
