Barbara Boren
Divine Mother and the 2012 Prophecy
This session combines discussion, meditation and stories of Divine Mother (some incarnate today). Worship of the Absolute in the form of Divine Mother, lost to the west for hundreds of years, has continued as an unbroken source of spiritual inspiration in the East for millennia. We'll look at Her many forms and the proliferation of Her appearances in the last 100 years. What's the message she's attempting to give us and how can we better hear Her? What's the connection between Her messages and the Mayan prophecy for 2012? We'll compare Mayan mythology to the messages of the Goddess/Mother figures to weave together enlightening and useful information!
As a long term business woman and devotee, Barbara has been mindful to bring the lessons of Divine Mother into practical application in daily life, while educating and assisting other's growth in all areas. A long time community college instructor, and Money Wise Woman instructor, she's taught on all aspects of investing. Barbara's current interest is in Sustainable & Responsible Investing, and Conscious Business; bringing one's spiritual beliefs into active practice in the workplace as a means of personal and collective transformation. In addition, she has led and assisted women's spiritual groups for over 16 years, spreading the message of Divine Mother.

Cindy Levy
Eco-psychology: Our Interconnectedness With all Life
We are not fully human unless we live consciously on Gaia, sharing the earth with all living beings, and honoring our interdependence. Remembering this larger sense of who we are brings wholeness, belonging, and purpose to our lives. Here we will reconnect with and strengthen our relationship with the natural world - animals, plants, rocks, water - and develop ways of interbeing. In the process we will access the places in ourselves which long for a home. We will then find ways to incorporate nature into our daily lives.
