NOURISHING BODY, MIND AND SOUL
Moving into a Collective Experience with the Power of GENEROSITY,
the Immensity of ONENESS, and the Certainty of DESTINY.

Congratulations
Barack Obama, Joe Biden and America!

HISTORY was made...

HOPE is renewed for a Transcendent America

...and THANK YOU to everyone who voted on NOV 4th.

Each and everyone of us is part of an ongoing process of gestation, manifestation, and re-birthing, an expression of our collective wills, our coherent voices, and shared dreams.

The art of governing only gets better when our collective energy meets our collective will and our hope. Politics becomes more conscious when we become more conscious ourselves, as a group aware of the reality of our condition and discerning of illusory shadows.

FEEDING THE MIND AND SOUL
Moving beyond 2012 requires a fresh new perspective about our collective consciousness and about our sense of place & time.

This is the anticipated sequel to “2012 The Odyssey” and it takes us beyond 2012!
This documentary features interviews with:
Jose Arguelles, Gregg Braden, Riane Eisler, William Henry, Jean Houston, John Major Jenkins, Rick Levine, Dennis McKenna, Terence McKenna, Daniel Pinchbeck, Sharron Rose, Geoff Stray, Whitley Strieber, Alberto Villoldo and Jay Weidner.

Mystics and researchers on the 2012 prophecies discuss their views on the profoundly transformational period between now and 2012, and share their visions for what it will take for humanity to thrive beyond. Much of the movie was filmed in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in Peru, and contains a rare Q'ero shaman ceremony.

FINAL SCREENING: this is the last opportunity to view and discuss this film before it gets released commercially on DVD. Let's get beyond 2012!

Oneness Blessing: Deeksha Gathering!

Join the Oneness Blessing facilitators, Mohana, A.T., Alane, and Nicholas, as they help you access deep states of consciousness through the Oneness Blessing (Deeksha).

Once initiated, it is a gradual Awakening process that leads you naturally to a lasting state of Oneness, inner peace, wellbeing and connection with your Higher Self. The process helps to set right relationships within yourself and with others.
