About us

The Search For More is a community for people who suspect there is more to human life than conventionally understood and who wish to explore that possibility through experience, discussion, and personal development.

Most people spend their lives focused on work, obligations, responsibilities, and the practical demands of daily life. Yet many people also carry a quiet feeling that there must be something more than what they have experienced so far.

This group is for those people.

The purpose of this group is not simply to talk about interesting ideas. The purpose is to create opportunities for elevated experiences, deeper understanding, meaningful discussion, and personal growth.

We will explore subjects such as human development, consciousness, meaning, purpose, ancient wisdom traditions, philosophy, symbolism, self-knowledge, and the deeper questions of life.

This group may be for you if:

  1. You believe there is some type of creative force.

It does not matter what you call it. It does not matter what tradition it comes from. You simply have a sense that there is something greater than ourselves, and that this force is ultimately constructive rather than destructive.

  1. You believe there may be some form of existence beyond the physical body.

Again, it does not matter what you call it. The point is simply that you feel there may be something more than the physical life we experience here.

  1. You believe human beings are meant to work together.

You have a sense that life is not simply every person for themselves. You believe life is, at least in part, about helping others, contributing something meaningful, and learning how to live in a better way.

Many people drawn to this work have a strong feeling that there must be more to life than what they have experienced so far. They feel there is something important still waiting to be discovered, understood, or lived.

If that resonates with you, this group may be worth exploring.

We are not affiliated with any religion, political movement, commercial self-help organization, or belief system.

Participants are encouraged to think for themselves, question assumptions, and draw their own conclusions.

The purpose is exploration, not conversion.

No one is expected to adopt any particular worldview.

Holden has spent more than 30 years researching these subjects, has traveled to 46 countries in search of a deeper understanding of life and elevated living, and has delivered more than 500 presentations and workshops.

His approach is based on a simple idea:

People need elevated experiences, not just interesting information.

At the heart of this work is the principle that people working, learning, and sharing together can create opportunities for personal growth that are difficult to achieve alone.

There is no single path to human development.

This path is simply one among many valid possibilities.

If these ideas speak to you, you are welcome to explore further.

Sensing the Human Aura: History, Art and Practical Experience at the ROM

Sensing the Human Aura: History, Art and Practical Experience at the ROM

Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queen's Park,, Toronto, ON, CA

Holden has more than 25 years of experience teaching about the human aura and has conducted hundreds of presentations on the subject. For more than 10 years, he has also been leading independent aura-focused visits through the Royal Ontario Museum.

Across cultures and throughout history, artists have depicted human beings surrounded by halos, rays of light, colored fields and other forms of luminous energy. Were these images purely symbolic, or did they represent something that people once understood about the human aura?

During this special guided visit to the Royal Ontario Museum, we will examine more than 15 examples of aura-like imagery found in objects and artwork from different civilizations and historical periods.

You will learn about:

  • The different parts traditionally associated with the human aura
  • What a halo may represent and why only certain figures were shown with one
  • The possible significance of different colours
  • Why some figures are depicted with larger or more complex energy fields
  • How similar imagery has appeared across different cultures and historical periods

The tour will combine historical observation, discussion and practical instruction. Participants will also take part in a guided, hands-on exercise designed to introduce the experience of sensing the human aura for themselves.

Holden will explain simple practices intended to increase awareness of personal energy, presence and the subtle impressions that may arise when observing another person.

No previous knowledge or experience is required. Participants are encouraged to observe carefully, ask questions and form their own conclusions.

This is an intimate event that may offer participants profound personal insights. Attendance will be limited to a small group so that everyone has an opportunity to participate, ask questions and engage in the practical exercises.

This is an independently organized Meetup event and is not an official ROM tour or a ROM-endorsed program.

The event fee is $10 and includes admission to the Royal Ontario Museum.

Gathering Point: We will meet outside the ROM’s Weston Entrance at 100 Queen’s Park, Toronto. Once the group has assembled, we will enter the museum together and begin the tour.
