What we’re about
We offer holistic events, groups and useful resources in the Flathead Valley related to Mind-Body-Spirit healing, education, expansion and connections.
Formerly the Meetup for IONS Flathead (Institute of Noetic Sciences - Kalispell area), we have kept this meetup going in 2022 and 2023.
You can reach organizer Barbara Schiffman via a Meetup message or email her at AkashicFlathead@gmail.com. Please include your question or interest, your full name, plus your phone # and when she can reach you if more info is needed.
As we consciously heal, evolve and explore new connections together, we can shift energy on the planet in positive ways!
BTW - the word "Akasha" is a Sanskrit word which means “Primary Substance, that out of which all things are formed" (per Dictionary.com). The Akashic Field encompasses everything we think, feel, see, hear and do. Our energy infuses this Field all the time, and our expanding Awareness can help us do this in uplifting, energizing and positive ways. That is our collective goal...

=====
A bit of history: The Flathead Valley IONS Meetup was formed years ago to explore the nature of consciousness from a scientific perspective. An informal community group affiliated with IONS (the Institute of Noetic Sciences founded by NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell in 1973, based in Northern California), members of IONS Flathead sought to deepen our understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe through sharing resources and welcoming like-minded speakers.
FYI -- IONS International has done extensive scientific research on holistic, metaphysical and "inner directed" subjects. Check out IONS' resources at https://noetic.org/
