Friday Evening, May 18
Anima Mundi: The World Soul
7:00pm - 9:30pm at the Shoreline Unitarian Universalist Church, Seattle, Washington

God redeems humanity, but nature needs to be redeemed by human alchemists, who are able to induce the process of transformation, which alone is capable of liberating the light imprisoned in physical creation.

The Anima Mundi, the World Soul, is the ordering and creative principle in creation. She is at the center of all things and yet she is hidden within the world. She is waiting to be used to connect us with the inner powers that belong to matter and life itself. Real alchemical work awakens this light hidden in matter, so that together we can create the forms of the future that will bring life back into harmony.

Saturday One-day Seminar, May 19
Changing the Dream
10:00am - 5:00pm on Whidbey Island, WA

Each age is a dream that is dying
Or one that is coming to birth.
-- Arthur O'Shaughnessy

Around us we see the debris of a dying dream, our addictions to materialism, the desecration of the inner and outer worlds. And yet many of us sense a new dream being born, a dream that honors the sacred and the interconnectedness of all of life. How can we help give birth to this new dream, this awakening oneness that is calling for us to work with it? This seminar will explore these vital questions, and help us to be aligned with what is awakening within the world and within our own souls.
