No rating yet Hope for Humanity, Are you still out there?? International Speaker Sao is back to deliver for us a powerful transformative and inspiring presentation. We have decided to do it on a Saturday afternoon this time to ensure maximum time for his presentation and for questions that will arise. Be sure to join us for this one! (All event details below & friendly reminders below) The focus of Sao's presentation: In Shamanic Astrology we refer to this as "The Turning of the Ages". We have arrived at the end of a 26,000-year(!) cycle on Earth and the beginning of a radically new cycle of 26,000 years. In these very early stages we are challenged to participate in and accept -- perhaps even rejoice in -- major transformation of the four cornerstone arenas of our lives: (1) One's Personal Identity (who we consider ourselves to be), (2) Home-Family-Roots, (3) Partnerships and Relationships (of all kinds) and, (4) Right Livelihood. These four combine to form the very foundation of our world and the strength of that foundation determines the status of all the other areas of our lives. This shift in our very foundation is happening on personal, national, corporate-government Then, with the goal of increasing our understanding of how to navigate these turbulent waters (and hopefully have fun doing so!), we'll focus on the twelve Cosmic archetypes (the twelve astrological "signs") as we experience them in our individual, personal lives, how we relate to one another, and how we can integrate and express all twelve "parts" of ourselves in a way that facilitates our successful passage through this collective transformation and forward into the dawning of the new Aquarian way of being on Earth. It is a journey each of us must make and Shamanic Astrology offers a unique and powerful perspective on each individual Soul's journey in these strange times where we must Expect the Unexpected!

Good day Hope for Humanity! *Tell me after reading some of his inspired quotes below, if his messages are still not relevant today; perhaps and quite definitely now more then ever. Be sure to stick around for a lively and inspiring group discussion immediately following the film. Hope you can join us for this one! Description of Film: MAHATMA GANDHI (The Life and Times of a Modern Legend) This film tells the story of the man whose belief in passive resistance served as an inspiration for future struggles in the cause of civil rights and freedom. Mahatma Gandhi was a major political and spiritual leader in India’s fight for independence in the mid-20th century. India achieved independence from British rule in 1947 and Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated one year later. Archival film footage, rare photos and informed commentary provide new insights into the life and influence of this remarkable man. An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people. Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth. I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill. I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could. Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being. You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. -------------------- Arrive at 6:30 for dinner/appetizers and mingling (15% off entrees for members) Arrive at 7:30 for film & group discussion (One beverage minimum encouraged upon arrival) *Free parking on side and behind building.

Good day everyone, Last week I started a New group called WorldShift 2012, I would like to invite the members of Hope for Humanity to join us for this powerful evening. Please read below for all the details. *Now it's time we actually meet and see what can emerge when like-minded people and conscious intentions come together, ultimately to help shift and preserve the World we live in. *And yes we as individual can and do make a difference. The real question is, what difference do we want to make? That question will be an essential theme to set the tone for sub topics within our Open Space Technology discussion. A technology designed to maximize the exchange of experiences and ideas from all members. This occurs by honoring a few basic principles and utilizes smaller break out rooms. If you feel you are learning or contributing stay with that present group, but if not, then simply get up and move to another group. It is that simple but profoundly effective for everyone involved. We will also re-convene at the end of the evening to share our reported findings from each respective group. Then to wrap things up, we will discuss next steps for the group and for individuals. "Possessing the human kind of consciousness is a unique privilege, and it confers a unique responsibility. It allows us to rediscover our selves in the cosmic order of things, and it gives us the moral obligation to do so. When we perceive our place in the universe we come to know our role and our mission: to be truly one with the world of which we are an intrinsic part." WorldShift 2012 "The eye of the cosmos that has opened through us cannot be allowed to close. It must remain open and gain in depth and clarity. We can and must live up to the potentials of a species that possesses a high level of consciousness: to create love and connection, coherence and oneness, in and with the world. We can, and now we must, come home to this Earth-and the Universe.

Hello everyone, *For those that didn't get to see this great film last time, I've decided to give you all a second opportunity. This is one of my favorite documentaries to come out in the past couple years. Finally one that is courageous enough to acknowledge the dark side in all of us; and why it is so important that we learn to accept, forgive and embrace this side that exists in you and me. Personal shame is such a powerful force that blocks our vitality, our creativity and our love keeping this dark side ever present. I feel this movie is transformative and leading age, not only for the inspirational community, but society at large. Please make a point to join us and stick around for the group discussion after if you can. Gonna make for another powerful evening Soul City. The Shadow Effect, a visually stunning and cutting-edge documentary, will inspire you to step out of the self that you've know and break free from the bonds of the past. Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Dr. David Simon, and other world-renowned thinkers join Debbie Ford to reveal the transformative power of your shadow- the parts of yourself that you dislike and disown, the past that you regret and repress, and the future that is waiting to be birthed. The Shadow Effect will leave you breathing deeper as you take back your power and step into the possibility of the next greatest evolutions of yourself. More on the Film: Be uplifted by the power that is hidden beneath the surface of your conscious mind. Take this emotionally gripping, visually compelling journey into your mysterious shadow self - the hiding place for your most disliked thoughts, emotions, and impulses - and discover how by embracing your worst fears, you can step into your greatest self. Be transformed by Debbie Ford, the #1 New York Times best-selling author and internationally acclaimed expert on the human shadow, as well as some of the most brilliant and evolutionary thinkers of the 21st century. Be inspired to uncover the wisdom in your wounds, the blessings in your misfortunes, and the gifts that are waiting to be claimed where you may least expect them...in the dark. If shadows could talk, they would tell you that there is gold to be mined in every experience. Bio: Debbie Ford is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Spiritual Divorce, and The Secret of the Shadow, among many other works. As a writer, teacher, coach, and speaker, she has an uncanny and unique ability to see beyond the mask and the false personas that we all wear and because of this, she has earned the right to be known as one of our greatest teachers.

Good day everyone, I'm happy to say I have another real life documentary on Forgiveness. This is a must see, and will most certainly generate a powerful and intriguing discussion following the film. I know we can all agree that forgiveness is something much easier said then done. On this evening, let's learn, share and embrace the concept & act of Forgiveness. Steve Film Description: FORGIVENESS: STORIES OF OUR TIME focuses on four individuals who have lived through events so painful and horrific they are unimaginable to most of us. Lesley Parrott’s young daughter was stalked, raped and strangled. Anne Marie Hagan’s father was murdered by their next-door neighbor. Alan McBride’s wife and eight others were killed in an IRA bombing in Belfast. Reverend Julie Nicholson’s daughter was killed on the London underground in an al-Qaeda bombing in 2004. Through heartfelt interviews and archival footage, these are the stories of men and women as they absorb, cope with and attempt to move beyond brutal events in their lives. * (Winner of Best Mid-Length Documentary Hot Docs 2007) Arrive at 7:30 for film & group discussion *Free parking on side and behind building.

Good day all! This is fantastic documentary on this remarkable man, musician and visionary. Plan to also come out and enjoy the fabulous music of Bob Marley during the course of the evening and of course a group discussion immediately following the film. Gonna be a great summer night event! Please read bellow for all the film details and additional quotes by Bob Marley. Sincerely, Steve Rebel Music tells the fascinating and heart-wrenching story of legendary reggae superstar Bob Marley… the musician…the poet…the prophet. Bob Marley was a symbol of human rights who through his music, described the injustices of all people and fought for social equality with zealous determination. Stirred by global politics and fueled by the gospel of the Rastafari, Marely used his brilliant and evocative music as a powerful way to deliver the universal message of peace, love and equality. His was the voice of a new world. At the height of his popularity and after a lifetime demonstrating the world-changing power of music, his life was claimed by cancer in 1981 at the age of 36.

"I’ll never be a politician or even think political….I just deal with life and nature. Those are the greatest things to me". Bob Marley Additional Inspiring quotes by Bob Marley Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind. Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny. In this bright future you can't forget your past. Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live! Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together - black, white, Chinese, everyone - that's all. Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

The Power of Community (Inspiring Peace, Love & Happiness) We've all read a tonne of books, attended workshops, retreats and evening courses. Some of you are now teachers, coaches, counselor and healers. We've seen inspired movies, developed greater awareness, and discovered spiritual practices that have improved our personal well being. Unfortunately, as we all know the predominant waters of the greater collective culture remains fear based, scarcity based, individualistic and highly competitive. As a result each day we must continue to practice non-attachment, mindfulness and patience just to maintain a level of inner contentment in times of such global and local struggle. Through this journey we are discovering the divine power of our inner guidance to help serve us, give us direction, personal meaning and perhaps even to be of service to others. However, I also believe we are social creatures and benefit when we are connected with those that care, those that encourage and those that awaken in us something very real. The Power of Community does not come from one belief system, one ideology or even one master. The Power of Community occurs when there are mutually agreed principles for which we communicate, discuss and explore new possibilities and experience new ways of being. The Power of Community occurs when we are free to be ourselves, to laugh out loud, to create, to imagine and to be spontaneous. The Power of Community is ultimately something we can all contribute, learn and benefit from. Details of Event: On Thursday June 9th, I'd like to offer a night where we embrace fully the power of community. On this particular evening, participants will have an opportunity to choose topics related to subjects around Peace, Love, Happiness and anything else that you feel would help inspire a more enriching life for yourself and perhaps even the lives of others. By using a technique called Open Space Technology, all members will have a chance to break into small groups to contribute and learn about topics they are interested in. At any time during the night, you feel you would like to join another group, you have that absolute right and freedom to do so. At the end of the night we will all reconvene to share our personal and small group findings. Trust me when I say this is a truly brilliant way to maximize the greatest resource of all, our HUMAN POTENTIAL. *On the night of I will re-explain the guideline and principles of the event in greater detail to ensure everyone fully comprehends the purpose and intention. As the saying goes...."We are the ones we've been waiting for" Plan to join us if you can! Steve Arrive at 6:30 for dinner/appetizers and mingling (Optional) (15% off entrees for members) Arrive at 7:15 for Event *Free parking on side and behind building. Right next to the Yonge/Lawrence Subway Line inside the courtyard. On the North/West corner. Barack Obama: Yes, our greatness as a nation has depended on individual initiative, on a belief in the free market. But it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, of mutual responsibility. The idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we're all in it together and everybody's got a shot at opportunity. Americans know this. We know that government can't solve all our problems - and we don't want it to. But we also know that there are some things we can't do on our own. We know that there are some things we do better together. Cost: CAD5.00 |

One of today's leading inspirational and spiritual speakers, Marian Williamson combines a depth of wisdom and clarity like few others I know. If you are familiar with her teaching then you will appreciate this upcoming film & event. *We will close the evening with a group discussion sharing our thoughts and experiences around the topics & concepts raised in the film Everyday Grace. Be sure to join us if you can. Sincerely, Steve Details of film: Everyday Grace Everyday Grace addresses the question: What do your spiritual convictions have to do with traffic jams, job anxiety, reading the newspaper or arguing with your spouse? Everything! according to Marianne Williamson. It is the way we live in our everyday world that determines the shape of who we are. So no matter what spiritual faith you practice, it is the moment when your daughter does not make the basketball team, or your best friend lands your dream job, or your business instinct tells you to bury the guy across the boardroom table that tests and build your faith. Using five essential principles, Marianne helps you to foster spirit on a daily basis as you experience emotions such as grief, guilt, jealousy, boredom, anxiety, hopelessness and even happiness. This inspirational video takes you on a mystical journey that will lay the foundation for a more graceful life! Inspiring Quotes by Marianne Williamson As we become purer channels for God's light, we develop an appetite for the sweetness that is possible in this world. A miracle worker is not geared toward fighting the world that is, but toward creating the world that could be. As we let our light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others. Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
