Exploring Life’s Final Journey

Sunday Afternoon Public Programs
March 17 2:00 PM • Presented by Patricia Fulbright

In time each of us will die, arriving at a place defined today by medical and legal benchmarks. Death and dying surround us as the shadow in the cycle of life. In the Phaedo, Plato guides us through a rich dialog of Socrates and friends on the day their teacher faces death. Socrates describes the art of dying as a process of separating the soul from the body and entering Hades, the mythic underworld. This presentation focuses on his art of dying.

Patricia Fulbright has presented courses on mythology and literature at Clark College. She is a lifelong student of Neoplatonic philosophy and ancient Greek literature.

Sunday Afternoon Public Programs
December 2, 2:00 PM • Presented by Judith Sugg, Ph.D.

In Theosophy, we talk about the physical body and etheric form (the energy body) as enabling experience on the physical plane.

Leonardo, Dante, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Newton – their brilliant achievements remain benchmarks of human excellence.

Yet another almost forgotten inheritance empowering Renaissance ideas, values, and visions sprang from an array of Hermetic, alchemical, and Sufi wisdom traditions. Continue reading →

Posted on by

Sunday Afternoon Public Programs
March 25, 2:00 PM  •  Presented by Ursula Velonis, Ph.D.

Nothing is more relevant during times of transition and chaos than refining one’s understanding of the mission of the Mother of the World.

In its more evolutionary sense, it declares the New Era as the “Age of Woman.” This message is to inspire the awakening of spirit-creativeness in all people. The key is to seek inspirational insights, messages and signs of higher consciousness and its Source. Continue reading →
