Oneness Events

Seminar with Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
July 11, 2013, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, CA

Spiritual Ecology is a spiritual response to our present ecological crisis. The signs of global imbalance, climate change, the extinction of species, are not just physical symptoms. As Thich Nhat Hanh writes, these are “bells of mindfulness,” calling us to be attentive, to wake up and listen. The earth needs our attention. It needs us to help heal its body, damaged by our exploitation, and also its soul, wounded by our desecration, our forgetfulness of its sacred nature. We need to act from a place of real awareness, attentive to the outer and inner need of the earth. Only when we remember what is sacred canwe bring true understanding to our present predicament.

This talk will explore this most pressing need of our time: how we are facing not just a physical ecological crisis but also a spiritual crisis, one that demands a spiritual response from each of us.

7pm - approx 10pm

To realize the film "Elemental" the Global Oneness Project team filmed across three continents. The documentary not only talks about the most pressing ecological challenges of our time, but it also tells the story of three individuals united by their deep connection with nature and driven to confront some of those challenges.

The film follows an Indian government official gone rogue on a 40-day pilgrimage down India's once pristine Ganges river, now polluted and dying. It shows the "David and Goliath" struggle against the world's largest industrial development, the Tar Sands, across the globe in norhtern Canada and in Australia an entrepreneuer's search for inverstors willing to risk millions on his conviction that nature's own systems hold the key to our world's ecological problems.

10am - 5pm, $65

Spiritual Ecology is an exploration of the spiritual dimension of our present ecological crisis. At the root of our crisis, this irreversible climate change and a mass extinction of species, is a deep forgetfulness of the sacredness of creation. This primal split between spirit and matter has allowed us to pollute and desecrate our planet until its ecosystem is dying. How can we reclaim this inner connection that is so vitally needed at this time, work to heal our wounded and suffering world and its soul, the anima mundi.  How can our spiritual practice, our prayers, help the world?

This seminar will include a talk and discussion, as well as a practice of praying for the world. For event details, and registration information, please visit: Dec 3rd seminar: Spiritual Ecology

5. November 2011, Bern at the Oneness Center
10.30am-5pm, Seminar with Natalie Knapp

Today’s problems are manifold but one problem prevents us from finding solutions. Unknowingly, we have learnt to think in a specific way and we get stuck again and again. Natalie Knapp illustrates how to free ourselves from a world view that constricts us and how to learn to think differently.

7.30pm - approx. 9pm, A Song Recital with Verena Staggl

The topic of love is common to all cultures. It overcomes barriers and brings together opposites. Love is a force so fundamental that it helps us to get a better understanding of the depth of life and a glimpse of the real nature of oneness.

On this evening, to the accompaniment of her guitar, Verena Staggl sings songs from various cultures about the love of people, places and things. She touches the space that is beyond form and that nourishes the soul. Verena Staggl sings in Italian, Spanish und Yiddish.
