New! “Dream Circle” with Daniela
Dreams are inherently mysterious, serving as a window into the unconscious. They arise from the depths of the psyche, communicating through the rich language of metaphors and symbols. By engaging with our dreams intentionally, we can unlock their potential to provide profound wisdom, insight, and healing.
NOTE: “Dream Talk” replaces “Star Talk.”
Open Circle
We extend an open invitation for you to join us at "Open Circle," where we come together to learn, share, and grow in unity. This is more than just a meeting; it's an opportunity to be part of a community committed to spiritual development and mutual support. Join us as we journey together, discovering new perspectives and embracing the collective wisdom of our shared experiences.
Enneagram and the Path of Disintegration
The Enneagram's Path of Disintegration, also known as the stress or security path, offers a unique perspective on personal growth, even though it initially describes how different types react under stress or strain. Each Enneagram type has a direction of disintegration (or stress) that points to another type's characteristics which can emerge under negative circumstances. However, this pathway can also be viewed as a potential path for growth if navigated consciously.
Ancient New Way: "The Most Important UFO Video of 2024!"
Dr. Courtney Brown is a mathematician and social scientist who teaches in the Department of Political Science at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He is also a leading scholar on "remote viewing." Dr. Brown is involved in teaching people how to reliably make video recordings of extraterrestrial spacecraft.
With the recent UFO/UAP activity in Washington DC, New Jersey, Arizona, and reports of so-called “Drones” (metal orbs) over military installations in the UK, it is timely for us to explore the work of Dr. Courtney Brown. In this session, we will watch his interview on the Jeff Mara podcast, “The Most Important UFO and Alien Video of 2024” from March 17, 2024.
Gathering of Community
Exploring Inner Spaces! There's a profound difference between consulting a psychic medium to access spiritual realms and beginning to engage with that deeper part of ourselves that connects with the energies that permeate and surround us. Many of us struggle to trust our intuition—our inner spirit—or believe that we can't "feel, see, hear, or sense" it. It's undoubtedly a journey.
At our upcoming “Gathering of Community,” members of the Spiritual Life Foundation, including Lauren Morimoto, Brynn Saito, Lisa Tsuchiya, and Kellie Liang, will share their unique personal stories, experiences, and practices as they navigate their internal explorations. Their journeys, each distinct and fascinating, have incorporated various approaches, such as tarot, healing arts, psychic development, creativity, poetry, and more.
Listening to their narratives will ignite inspiration in each of us. While we've often contemplated these concepts, we've generally kept them to ourselves, only reflecting on them in our private thoughts.
Join us for a day filled with inspiration and reflection on our spiritual paths. This event is open to all, regardless of your current beliefs or practices. We look forward to learning about and from the personal journeys of others, and we invite you to share your own experiences.

Enneagram and the Reptilian Brain
The Enneagram is a psychological system that categorizes human personality into nine interrelated types, each with distinct motivations, fears, and behavioral patterns. This system is often used for personal self-discovery, spiritual growth, and as a tool for understanding interpersonal dynamics.
Linking the Enneagram to the reptilian brain involves considering the ways in which our most primitive brain functions—those associated with the reptilian brain, like survival instincts, aggression, and territoriality—can influence our Enneagram type behaviors. The reptilian brain, part of the triune brain model proposed by neuroscientist Paul MacLean, is thought to be responsible for our instinctual and automatic self-preserving behavior patterns. It regulates vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature, and balance.

Enneagram and Subtypes
Join us for an immersive workshop designed to delve into the rich and intricate world of the Enneagram and its subtypes. This interactive session is perfect for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves and others, as well as for professionals aiming to enhance their coaching, counseling, or team-building skills.
The Enneagram system identifies nine main personality types, each with distinct motivations, fears, and behavioral patterns. To add further nuance, each of these types can be influenced by one of three subtypes—also known as instinctual variants—which describe how individuals manage their interactions with the world around them.
The Movie, "Inside Out 2" and the Enneagram
Discussion of “Inside Out 2” and the Enneagram: The film explores themes of self-acceptance and the complexities of adolescent emotions, using imaginative settings and characters that are both humorous and poignant. While the new emotions add fresh dynamics, they struggle to leave as lasting an impact as the original cast from the first film.
The UN-Bible Study
The Bible is a powerful symbol in our polarized society. Yet, many if not most people do not know the history, context, and the creation of the Bible. The “UN-Bible Study” is a thought-provoking course designed to critically examine the Bible from a historical, literary, and theological perspective. This class explores the complexities and nuances of the Bible, challenging traditional views and fostering a deeper understanding of this influential text. It will explore the early Christian movements that were stamped out by the Church, their writings (Gnostic Writings), and the implications for our times.
Star Talk with Daniela Lien
Daniela is the SLF Director of Art and Spirit and is an astrologer. She will share her astrological insights for our current transits - these times in which we live. Daniela shared a fantastic presentation on those transits on our first Joshua Tree retreat (October 2022).

Enneagram and the OCEAN (Big Five) Assessment
The Enneagram and the OCEAN (Big Five) assessment are two prominent personality frameworks used in psychology, each with its unique approach and emphasis.
While the Enneagram focuses on inner dynamics, growth potential, and spiritual dimensions, the OCEAN model emphasizes measurable, observable traits and their implications for behavior and compatibility in various settings. Each model serves different purposes and can complement each other in holistic personality assessment and development.

ANW: “Capturing the Light: The true story of Dorothy Izatt”
“Capturing the Light” is the true story of Dorothy Izatt, a Chinese-Canadian mother and grandmother who documented her encounters with UFOs and ETs. Using an ordinary 8 mm movie camera she has filmed hundreds of sequences of unexplained, yet authenticated, pictures of UFOs, ETs, and anamolies.Dorothy Izatt is without peer anywhere on record in the world, even when compared to today's tabloid media with its endless loops of bizarre video footage from various places and people. Aside from the fact that electronically simulated video images aren't as yielding to analysis as the images in film photography, the obvious difference is that the footage derives from multiple sources. With Dorothy we have a credible, trustworthy, prolific source in one location - or in any location anywhere she chooses - willing to demonstrate the process for an observer.

Ancient New Way: The Mainstreaming of UFO's
After decades (70+ years) of denial and disinformation, the U.S. government has begun a process of slow disclosure of UFOs. A major aspect of this process is the drip-by-drip release of information to government-friendly media. While those of us who have been waiting decades for transparency and disclosure, this is better than nothing.
In this ANW session, we will look at the National Geographic videos on the interaction between military personnel and UFOs.
