Crop Circles
Join us at Antara Center for an evening with Ray Minkler as he offers an encouraging perspective on what is occuring on our planet. This class is an extensive exploration of the scientific and anecdotal aspects of crop circles and connections to the extraterrestrial presence. This will be contextualized with a survey of radical changes occuring throughout the solar system which do not make sense within the context of conventional physics. The presentation will be in PowerPoint format with numerous video clips supported by a THX sound system. Ray stated about this class offering,“I currently expect to be devoting about 2 hours specifically to crop circles. I will be spending awhile after the 2 hour crop circle segment going into the relationship between crop circles and the extraterrestrial-interdimensional reality (with some very potent video clips) and then on to the radical changes that are happening throughout the solar system, backed up by data from mainstream sources and tying it all together with the crop circles and some of the prophetic channelings that have been emerging for several decades about our reality being totally reconfigured.

Introduction to Sacred Geometry
The study of Sacred Geometry is a journey into the Imprint of the Oneness of Creation, a journey that brought me one of life’s “A-HA!” moments several years ago, and continues to unfold for me today.

It is a vast topic, with many areas of interest and specialization, and many definitions. I can explain it by saying that it can lead you from the purely mathematical to the outskirts of the esoteric. For me, it lead to a profound spiritual awakening one day walking near my home, and the way I view the world has never been the same.

So how does one bring this sacred study into the classroom? Very simply…and very humbly.

Like they said in the Wizard of Oz, it’s always best to start any journey at the beginning. Simple, but true. And so we will.

My goal for this class is to lay a foundation, and give you first a bird’s eye view of all the areas of study that people attribute to Sacred Geometry. Then we will look more closely at the aspects I found most helpful and easy to understand in the beginning. But don’t be fooled, these aspects are all important parts of the whole, and are key evidence of the importance of what we call Sacred Geometry in human history, in nature and Creation.

Then the fun begins. As we look at the geometric patterns in nature, how things grown, how energy moves…when we look at the mathematics of light and sound, Something Else begins to unfold. We begin to see a Pattern…something larger…something very Special, something very Sacred. And then we remember that the ancients knew this all along…and wonder how some of it was lost.

My hope for you is that this Pattern speaks to you, like it did for me.

Please join us for Introduction to Sacred Geometry, and see what unfolds for you!

Munay-Ki Rites Weekend: Rites 1-4 (Foundation)

The Munay-Ki are the nine great rites of initiation of the medicine way. The word munay means ?I love you? or ?BE AS THOU ART.? The Munay-Ki are the nine gates that heal us and transform our human energy field into that of homo luminous.

The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet ? one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature. The Munay-Ki are the codes for the new human. They are delivered in the form of energetic transmissions.

Prerequisites: Read the information on the website www.munay-ki.org and read Dr. Albert Villoldo's book "The Four Insights: Wisdom, Power and Grace of the Earthkeepers" (order from www.thefourwinds.com).

Based on the request from the Laika, the eathkeepers, that were guided to provide the Munay-Ki rites to humanity on the planet at this time, there is no charge for receiving these rites. One can only give the rites to another if all nine rites have been received. Once you have given the rites to another, that person is considered your prot?g? for as long as they would need your support in integrating these energetic transmissions. Discernment is to be used to transmit the rites to another person.

One may charge for coaching if that is necessary after the rites are transmitted. I would appreciate a donation to cover the costs of giving the rites (including a CD and pi stone that you will receive). If coaching is needed, that can be set up afterwards.

The Moadim: Ancient Festivals of Transformation

Moadim: (Hebrew, Festivals) were created, not for the "Jews", but rather, for "Israel" (The Sons and Daughters of Light) to assist our evolution as "Priests (and Priestesses) and Kings in the Golden Age. Shoshana will reveal the (suprisingly) true identity of "Israel". The "Tribes" were lost for a Divine purpose, but promised to return for a greater Plan.

An in-depth study of these Seven Festivals, from Passover (Freedom from our slavery in an imbalanced world) to the Feast of Tabernacles (realization of our Divine Being) to The Eighth Day (New Beginning in the Kingdom of Peace) will help us to understand our transformational process in a spiritully-practical way as we ascend up "Jacob's Ladder", chakra-by-chakra.

This philosophy synchronizes with nearly every religion. Our season of feeling lost and seperated is destined to change as we are preparing to gather in harmonious unity and to take our properly assigned seats at "The Round Table" (The "Temple") in "Camelot" (The "New Jerusalem"). It is "we" who are creating the fast-approaching Day of Light as light-beings and "dreaming that world into being"; a world of Knowledge and Truth, Peace and Health, Joy and Love for the restoration of "One New Man" who will live a blessed long-life of prosperity in the "Promised Land" ("New Age/New Land").

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again, the Second Time to recover the remnant of his people...and he shall set up a sign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed...from the four corners of the earth...and there shall be a highway (journey) which shall be left...as it was in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt."
