The Great Passage: A Coros Meditation Retreat
With Dennis Klocek
Thomas Berry Hall
Conference Fee:
$95-$150 suggested scale.
Amounts above $100 can be considered a donation for scholarships:
receipt is available upon request.
The Passage from life on this side of the threshold to life on
the other side of the threshold is a most profound and paradoxical
event in the evolution of the soul. This weekend will be devoted
to looking at the stages of this passage in the context of mystery
school training. The tasks of disputation, harmonization, and surrender
define the stages of the soul seeking to align with the demanding
processes of the Great Passage. These stages of development will
be addressed in a series of lectures and exercises. The goal of
the weekend is to help a person to experience that the Great Passage
is as much a birth into a new level of being as it is a termination
of an old stage of consciousness.

Great Passage pdf for more detail.

Integral Education Seminar – From Cradle
to Kosmos
Exploring the leading edge of educational theory and practice
Thomas Berry Hall
Fee: $995
Integral Education stands out as one of the most pertinent and
practical means of creating positive change in ourselves and the
world. This seminar will bring educators together from around the
globe, educators who are seeking the necessary vision, skills,
and processes to fully serve students and the world that we inhabit.
Integral education is an emerging field, propelled by people who
seek to push the envelope of what education can be. The seminar
will provide a perfect environment to meet with colleagues and
to network with a small but growing community that clearly understands
that addressing a more complete spectrum of personal, cultural,
and systemic realities at play in education is one of the most
powerful ways to begin effecting the changes we hope to see in
the world. www.i-edu.org
