The Psychology of Energy and the Seven Rays - Part I

Begins Monday, February 1, 2010
with Donna Mitchell-Moniak

We are a tapestry of energies. Understanding the Seven Rays is empowering. We not only come to know ourselves better but others as well. The typology of the Seven Rays explains our differences in learning style, interests, temperament and affinities. The energies of the Seven Rays animate everything from a blade of grass to great achievements. They are evidenced in the power of a hawk or the genius of an inventor. Various systems of typology have come and gone, yet all are sourced in the Seven Rays.

When: Eight Mondays. February 1, 8, 15, 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Where: online–in the comfort of your own home
Tuition: $145

Revealing Soul through Esoteric Astrology a beginnerʼs course

with Donna Mitchell-Moniak
Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning March 9, 2010 at 8 p.m. EDT for six weeks.
Experience this class where you are: in the comfort of your home! Revealing Soul through Astrology is a dynamic and intensive six-week course that brings together the foundation of traditional astrology and the richness of esoteric astrology. Esoteric astrology begins with the premise that the horoscope, or birth chart, is the chart of the soul and tells us how soul seeks to make the most of a lifetime. This understanding and perspective is deeply enriching. It changes the framework of how we view ourselves, our tendencies and challenges. The weekly two-night format increases the studentʼs retention of information.
Revealing Soul through Astrology gives you the best of all astrology classes: a full foundation in traditional astrology plus the layering of the esoteric. Donna has been teaching both for over 15 years. This course is very visual, interactive, and fun. You will learn much more than astrology. Metaphysics and philosophy are thrown in, as is much discussion of the spiritual path. Donna and Sara Traubʼs book, Astrology Illumined, is the text for the course.

When: 12 ses, Tuesdays and Thursdays: March 9, 11,16, 18, 23, 25, 30, April 1, 6, 13,15, 20
Time: 8 p.m. EDT
Where: online–in the comfort of your own home
Tuition: $189 plus $23.50 for Astrology Illumined

Tuition + book ($212.50)
 Tuition only ($189)

Ending or Beginning? Bringing Enlightenment to Dying
Saturday and Sunday, April 10 & 11
with Donna Mitchell-Moniak

Death – a heavy subject. Yet keep reading because this two-day workshop intends to change how you view the second greatest transition in life: dying.
In this workshop, we will explore our thoughts and beliefs about:
  • dying and death
  • endings and beginnings
  • light, goodness, hope, and trust
We will experience:
light, and learn how to effectively hold people in light as they are in the transition of death.
And we will learn meditative techniques that, if begun and cultivated now, will enable and support a lighted passage at the time of our death.
This workshop is being offered because our society seems in need of a new and personally sacred process at one's time of death. For generations the light of this great transition has been clouded in visions of torturous after-worlds, guilt, blame, shame, and fear. Yet death is a process of entering light! It is the act of shedding the dense clothing of body, suffering and pain. Is death and a sacred dying process an ending or a beginning? Or is it both?


When: Saturday and Sunday, April 10 & 11 from 10am to 4 p.m. each day
Where: Harmony Center in Medfield, MA. www.harmony-center.org
Tuition: $189, payable to Harmony Center. Pre-registration necessary. Attendance is limited in numbers. Please register early.
Contact to register: Send your check to Harmony Center, 315 North St., Medfield, MA 02052. Include your e-mail address and phone number.
Contact with questions about the seminar: Donna at 413-624-3955 or donnasol@mindspring.com

FREE Morning Living Awareness Meditations

with Donna Mitchell-Moniak
Monday through Wednesday at 9 a.m. EDT

Drop in as often as you can for FREE Living Awareness morning meditations. These are 1/2 hour meditations done at a time that allows four time zones to participate. They are entry level Living Awareness meditations. The phrase "entry level" should not be understood as being below one. Instead, as a living tantra, the practice of Living Awareness helps us cultivate the gifts of meditation in our daily life and circumstances. This practice is not just about our meditation cushion. It is about our life!
Therefore, entry level practices bring the benefits of clarity, centeredness, light and lightness of being to all that we are and do while meditating and otherwise. I have found the entry level practices have increased my overall meditative ability and experiences. I highly recommend them. And of course, the next stage of Living Awareness practice, requires the stable foundation of the entry level. This is for the safety of our vehicles and the coherence of our life.
A “link” is required to participate. Please contact Donna to obtain the link.

Where: the comfort of your home
When: Monday through Wednesday at 9 a.m. EDT (8 CDT, 7 MDT, 6 PDT)
* Occasionally we will skip a day due to activities at Spirit Fire.
Tuition: FREE     Living Awareness Meditations

The Spiritual Path:
A One-Year Program Exploring the Amazing Path of Human Consciousness

“I loved creating this class 9 years ago and still love teaching it because it is fresh each time. The ongoing unfoldment of human consciousness makes it so as do new scientific explorations and discoveries and socio-philosophic questions. Religion is changing as well. Thus we can see that the Spiritual Path is dynamic, changing, and unfolding. This one-year course is too!”  Donna MM

Using five points of entry we probe the Spiritual Path.
The World’s Religions
Each world religion has been a seed, planted in the fertile soil of human aspiration and devotion. Yet the religions of the world have also seeded and, in large measure, qualified the civilizations of the world. What do you know of the world’s religions? Do you see religion evolving?
Philosophy and the Love of Truth
Thoughts about Truth are given through the musings of poets as well as great philosophers. What is Truth? What are some of the large Truths that have captivated humanity? What truths captivate you?
Science as an Exploration of the Real
Science has often brought humanity back to the Spiritual Path. That is currently happening through the studies of meditators, biodiversity, quantum physics, and the inter-dependence of life. How does science contribute to the Spiritual Path?
The Chakras and Human Subtle Systems
Do you know about the human energy fields? Do you know how much they condition thoughts, decisions, and how one lives the Spiritual Path? The chakra system is a path of spiritual beingness within us. Do you know how to access it and related higher states of consciousness?
Self-Realizaiton
Self-realization is a process, with steps, junctions, plateaus, and chasms. It is a journey of tremendous insight, often dotted by trails of confusion, fear, and self-doubt. But it is a process–an archetypal one. Where are you in the journey? Are you living the process of radical enlightenment?

The Practice of Living Awareness Meditation Retreats
Multi-day retreats provide instruction, group meditation, meals, lodging, and energetic support for you to become Aware, Awake, and Realized. In this way every person can become part of the growth and change of consciousness in the world.
“Four days unwinding, rebalancing, surrounded by natural beauty; four days rediscovering the affirming inner truth of my own soul; four days skillfully guided and deeply held by graceful presence; four days dining on wonderfully abundant organic fresh made meals and delights; four days with meditation, humor, silence, relaxation, insight and companionship. Donna is the living presence that she teaches...unpretentious, approachable, peaceful and steeped in sacred tradition. I found myself grateful for a private session in which I was beneficiary of her wisdom and healing. The many returning guests and wide network of long-time associates participating in online studies and conference call discussions testify to the potency of her practice and gifted abilities as a spiritual teacher. Now, I am one more, feeling the inner changes and aligning with this place and this teacher.”
