Bible Study

**\*\*ALERT--UPDATE—CHANGE\*\*** We have decided to change plans for Saturday, July 4th to make it a FIFA watch party instead of a philosophy meetup The 2 reasons are as follows … we might be rained out & Canada plays its biggest game in its Footballing history (the whole nation might be watching). So we decided to have a “viewing-party” meetup at The Maddy for 1pm on July 4th. We’ll be on the patio on the second floor just outside where the pool table & the washrooms are located. I’ll get there early to claim our space — it’d be great to have a few of you there to help me do the same (let’s say around 12 noon). This will be a special moment no matter the result of the game — come on over to The Maddy & let’s create a beautiful memory with our friends from Practical Philosophy. This is what our community is about — we’ll make it a moment to remember. Letttsss gooooo, CANADA!!!

Welcome to Coast to Coast, a supper that celebrates India's coastlines, the flavours we grew up with, and the joy of sharing them with a table full of people. Pudina Kitchen and Mahaksh are two friends who love food deeply and differently, and this July, they're coming together to share one table with you. Coast to Coast is an evening that travels India's coastlines, from the sun-soaked west to the soulful east, through a menu built on summer memories, coastal kitchens, and the kind of cooking that doesn't happen in restaurants. The full menu reveals itself at the table, that's half the fun. What we'll say is: come hungry, come curious, and come ready to be surprised. Please note that this menu includes seafood, kindly specify any allergies or dietary restrictions in the comments when purchasing your ticket. About Pudina Kitchen Pudina Kitchen is a Toronto-based food community rooted in Indian cooking, storytelling, and the belief that a shared meal is one of the most honest ways to connect. Founded by Sargam, who grew up cooking for her family as a young immigrant, Pudina Kitchen has always been about more than food, it's about culture, memory, and belonging. From intimate workshops to community dinners, every experience is personal, intentional, and made with a lot of love. About Mahaksh Mahaksh started cooking for his family and never really stopped. What began as something simple turned into a genuine passion, for flavour, for hosting, for the particular joy of watching people eat food you made for them with care. He believes there is no greater act than feeding someone well, and that a good meal has the power to make people feel at home anywhere. Now hosting supper clubs in Toronto, Mahaksh brings that same warmth and love to every table he sets. The details Saturday, July 4 · Doors open at 6:00 PM Near Sherbourne & Bloor, Toronto (full address shared after ticket purchase) Non-alcoholic drinks included · BYOB welcome Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.

**NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE REQUIRED** **About Drum & Soul** Drum & Soul is a participatory community space that combines drumming, singing, reflection and conversation in one shared experience. Through rhythms from different cultures, collective music making and meaningful discussion around a focused theme, we practise qualities that strengthen both the individual and the community. This is more than a drumming circle. It is a space where people can grow in expression, presence, listening, and contribution, while learning how these same qualities can be carried into everyday life and relationships. --- ... **Why come** Come if you want to grow your expressive capacity, feel more at ease participating with others, and be part of a growing space that celebrates the human in us. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, background or musical experience. If you feel shy in groups, that is completely natural. Many people arrive unsure and leave feeling surprisingly at home. --- ... **How it works** --- We begin with a short breathing and centring exercise, followed by simple rhythm demonstration and call and response drumming. We then move into smaller group discussion around a shared theme. From there we shift into collective jamming and improvisation, and end with a potluck meal and informal connection. --- ... **Typical meeting flow** 1. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Arrival & social time – 15 min 2. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Welcome, check in and centring – 15 min 3. 🪘 Call & Respond **Drumming & demo** – 20 min 4. 💬 Facilitated **Discussion** on the Theme (groups of five-or so) – 20 min 5. 🕺🏽 Open **Jamming** with multiple instruments – 30 min 6. 🦋 Potluck **dinner** & social time afterwards – 60 min *This outline is flexible and may shift to suit the group and the space.* --- ... **Logistics & what to bring** Our next Drum & Soul gathering will be held outdoors in the park. If the weather turns rainy, we will move the gathering to our usual indoor location (you'll be notified in the comment section of any changes). Since outdoor seating is limited, please bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket if you can. Drums are available on a first come, first served basis, and we will also provide plenty of small percussion instruments so every hand can play. You are welcome to bring your own drum or instrument. We end the evening with a shared **potluck meal**, an extension of the circle where conversation and connection continue. Since the event is free, we warmly ask everyone to bring a small item to share if they are able. Simple finger foods and easy to serve savoury items are especially helpful, such as fruit, veggies and dip, wraps, sandwiches, hummus and pita, samosas, spring rolls, crackers and cheese, or other meal friendly bites. Sweet items are welcome too, but meal friendly contributions are especially appreciated. --- ... **Cost & contributions** --- This is a free event. If you are unable to bring food, you are welcome to make an optional contribution toward refreshments and materials by e-transfer to **hooshmandnyc@gmail.com** --- ... **Helpful notes** --- No prep needed. Doors open at 3:45 p.m. Please arrive by then so we can start at 4:00 p.m. sharp and keep the flow. Location and any last minute updates are posted on Meetup and in our WhatsApp group. We recommend joining the WhatsApp group (ask us for the link at the venue) for quick notices. --- ... **Life Between Gatherings** Drum & Soul does not begin and end with the monthly session. For those who want to continue beyond the gatherings and go deeper, we also have: • **Advanced sessions** for those who want to go further in drumming technique and explore the discussion themes more deeply in a smaller group • **Home or café meetups** for simple in-person connection, where a few participants can continue the conversation more personally and naturally • **Ongoing contact** so the spirit of the gathering can carry into everyday life through our own reflection, friendship and mutual encouragement Over time, these smaller spaces help strengthen connection, shared learning, and community life between sessions. Ask us about these features for more detail. --- ... **Why this matters** Our world is like a sick body, and is aching for a lasting remedy. We believe our special mission here is to nurture one another, define our roles in service to our fellow humans, and become living temples of unity. A meaningful growth unfolds through both self‑discovery and collective effort, and one cannot truly flourish without the other. Come open and prepared to learn, to offer your gifts, and to be strengthened by the power of community. *This ad is also posted in other groups* 📷 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/artsoultoronto/) 🎥 [A glimpse from one of our sessions](https://youtu.be/ejfeV1PF-0k)

This class is a guided life force energy transmission designed to help you deepen awareness, regulate the nervous system, release stored emotions, and connect more deeply with themselves. The practice combines life force activation, light language, somatic release, music therapy, and meditation in a safe, supportive environment. Blue Lotus Tea Blue Lotus tea will be served as an optional ritual element. It is non-psychedelic and only mildly psychoactive, helping participants relax the body, quiet the mind, and become more receptive to the experience. It supports the practice but does not create the activation itself. During the Session Participants lie down while receiving a guided energy transmission. Experiences vary and may include: * Gentle spontaneous body movement * Emotional release (laughing, crying, etc.) * Feelings of warmth, tingling, or energy movement * Deep relaxation or bliss * Visual imagery or meditative experiences * Vocal expression such as humming, singing, or spontaneous sounds (often described as light language) Intended Benefits Many participants report: * Greater emotional release and nervous system regulation * Increased self-awareness and clarity * Enhanced intuition and confidence * Breaking old patterns and limiting beliefs * Improved relationships and life direction * Greater creativity, resilience, and sense of purpose The emphasis is on personal growth, conscious awareness, and integration, rather than seeking dramatic experiences during the session itself. What is Light Language? Light language refers to spontaneous vocal, tonal, or gestural expression that some people experience during deep meditative or energetic states. It is viewed within this practice as an intuitive form of self-expression that may support healing, communication, and creativity. Preparation * Avoid alcohol or recreational drugs on the day of the class. * Eat lightly (fruit or juice) 1–2 hours beforehand. * Stay hydrated. * Meditation or gentle breathwork beforehand is encouraged. * Integration guidance will be provided after the session. Who Should Attend The class is open to adults seeking personal growth and self-exploration. It is not suitable for individuals experiencing psychosis or mania, those under 18, or people in the third trimester of pregnancy. About the Facilitator Radia is the founder of Light Body Expansion (LBE) and has facilitated more than 95 classes internationally, supporting over 500+ of students through nervous system regulation, meditation, and energy-based practices.

From the moment sin entered the world, death began. Adam and Eve were not stricken dead immediately, but the process by which none of us lives forever in health and wholeness in these earthly bodies started its inexorable march to the inevitable end—death. The Bible makes it clear that by one man’s sin, death came to all mankind, but that by the obedience of One Perfect Man, Jesus, many are made righteous (Romans 5:19). F.F. Bosworth recognized this truth; he also would have people consider that the God Who provided for our greatest need—salvation from eternal death—would also provide healing for the lesser, but still great needs, of health and healing from sickness, disease, and the consequences of sin that we encounter before we die. Join us as we examine the case for biblical healing in the book first published in 1924, ***Christ The Healer*.

Just because someone quotes the Bible doesn't mean that they are using it in truth. In Luke chapter 4, Jesus goes out into the wilderness to fast and pray for 40 days and Satan takes that opportunity to taunt and tempt Jesus to sin. How does Satan make effort to entice God In Human Flesh to sin? By quoting His own words to Him, but out of context, falsely, and with evil intent. The importance of knowing God rightly and in truth through His Word is of utmost importance. Jesus made this clear when He defeated Satan's arguments by directing Scripture right back at the Father of Lies, in the Spirit and in Truth. Come study Luke 4 with us, **Sunday morning, July 26, 2026 at 10 am, True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**! We look forward to seeing you there!!

"People will forget what you say, they will forget what you do, but they will never forget how you make them feel." Maya Angelou, referencing a previous statement by Carl Buehner, summarized what humans have long realized to be true--that *how* we communicate with one another matters--that our manners, our behaviors, our etiquette impact those around us, which impacts us in return. Warm, friendly, and helpful, former lawyer, public policy worker, television news reporter, and national nonprofit director, Alison Cheperdak wants to encourage each of us to elevate our communication and interactions with others and bring a greater sense of kindness, respect, graciousness, and class to our world.

"...they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed Him." Luke 5:11 Many people often think of following after Jesus in terms of what He provides--His good, kind gifts of with which He blesses His children. Not so the first disciples--when Jesus demonstrated His power as God over the seas by procuring boats overflowing with fish, the response of the fisherman was firstly an acknowledgement of their own sinfulness, and secondly, and immediate abandonment of their livelihoods to follow Jesus. The good was forsaken for the best. Jesus still calls--"Come, follow Me." Are we willing to give up *whatever* it takes to follow Jesus? Will we lay down our pride and our veneer of self-sufficiency and recognize that we are sinners who need a Savior? Are we willing to sacrifice the things the world says will bring us happiness and pleasure for the sake of what is greatest and what will bring true joy? Come study Luke 5 with us, **Sunday morning, August 23, 2026 at 10 am, True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**! We look forward to seeing you there!!
