You are warmly invited to the next gathering of the School of Practical Spirituality — and this time, we’re diving into the topic of Planetary Magic. When: Tuesday, June 23, 7–9 PM Where: The beautiful and enchanted Alternity Cafe, 333 Bloor St West This will be a hands-on workshop dedicated to understanding and working with the energies of the planets — from the Moon’s intuitive tides to Saturn’s grounding discipline, and the radiant force of Mars and Jupiter’s expansive reach. Together, we’ll explore simple yet powerful techniques, correspondences, and meditations to help you align with planetary influences for practical and tangible purposes in daily life — as well as deepening your understanding of reality itself. Whether you’re just curious or have years of experience with esoteric disciplines, you are truly welcome here. No special knowledge needed — just an open mind and a willingness to explore. Come as you are. We’ll save you a seat. Please support our host, Alternity Cafe, by buying a drink or a snack when you come in. We welcome donations to the PWYC basket to keep the group going and thriving. With warmth, Your host Sasha, School of Practical Spirituality

**When:** Tuesdays, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM EST (Toronto Time) **Start date:** Tuesday, Jun 23, 2026 **Where:** 792 Glencairn Ave., Toronto **Attend online via Zoom:**[ https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89671983431?pwd=hoYVrQG1EF4ibvIieyTnavmXxWcy5h.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89671983431?pwd=hoYVrQG1EF4ibvIieyTnavmXxWcy5h.1) **Primary text:** *Light of the Soul* by Alice Bailey, with supporting perspectives from Madame Blavatsky's Theosophical framework and Lama Govinda's multidimensional consciousness \*\*Free online PDF: \*\*[http://www.mysticknowledge.org/Light_of_the_Soul_-_Alice_Bailey.pdf](http://www.mysticknowledge.org/Light_of_the_Soul_-_Alice_Bailey.pdf) (Prior reading is not required.) **About the series:** The first four limbs of yoga are presented not merely as ethical rules or techniques, but as a practical science of consciousness refinement. * Experience → Distortion → Transformation: Through the dimensions of time and space, experience generates distortions — and distortions generate opportunities for transformation. The work of the aspirant is to consciously refine these experiences into enduring impressions of beauty and love. * What is an impression? The essence of experience that remains after the physical event, emotional reaction, and personal attachment have passed away — *experience without attachment.* * The 12-module arc: Yama, Niyama, Asana, and Pranayama progressively prepare the way for soul contact through purification, right relationship, stabilization, and conscious regulation of life force. * Not withdrawal, but engagement: This is not a path of asceticism or passivity. The aspirant does not seek to escape the world, but to engage with it more skillfully, more compassionately, and with greater awareness — transforming everyday experience into an opportunity for growth, service, and the realization of our deeper unity with all beings. **Class dynamic:** Each session opens with a group centering meditation, followed by a teacher-led lesson with slides. Newcomers are welcome to simply listen in. Those ready to engage are invited to contribute questions or insights. Our goal is an atmosphere of genuine shared inquiry. **Modules:** 1. **The Purpose of Evolution —** Transforming Experience into Beauty and Love Impressions 2. Why Consciousness Suffers 3. **The Field of Impressions —** Samskara, Memory, and the Astral Light 4. **Yama I —** Harmlessness and Right Relationship 5. **Yama II —** Truthfulness and the Right Use of Energy 6. **Yama III —** Non-Grasping and Freedom from Possession 7. **Niyama I —** Purification and the Transformation of Time 8. **Niyama II —** Contentment and Sacred Tension 9. **Niyama III —** Self-Study and Surrender to the Soul 10. **The Science of Detachment —** Witness Consciousness and the Burning Ground 11. **Asana —** Stabilizing the Instrument of Consciousness 12. **Pranayama —** Regulation of Life Force and Conscious Circulation **Overall arc:** * **Modules 1–3:** Understanding distortion and impressions * **Modules 4–6:** Purifying relationship and spatial distortion * **Modules 7–9:** Purifying time distortion and identity * **Modules 10–12:** Stabilizing and refining the instruments of consciousness *Final synthesis: The first four limbs of yoga gradually train the aspirant to observe without identification, experience without attachment, relate without separation, and transform distortion into enduring impressions of beauty and love.*

Do you consider rolling dice strength training? Can you run a D&D campaign, but not a city block? If so, **WIZARDS & WORKOUTS** is for you. My name is Peter Reynolds. I'm a writer and lover of role playing games. I'm also out of shape. I've been looking for ways to motivate myself to start working out with the same enthusiasm I bring to my Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The plan is simple: host a fun, live role playing game where players take on the role of their favourite fantasy characters. The catch? You need to exercise if you want to succeed. Fighting a dragon? A fireball might cost you 5 pushups. Crossing a rooftop? Can you balance on one foot for a minute? By combining simple, low impact exercises, including walking & stretching, with an interactive adventure, we'll all get healthier, have fun and maybe meet some new friends along the way. All fitness levels are welcome (as are dogs), and no previous knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons is necessary. We meet in front of Broadview subway station at 10:00 am sharp and then walk to the Outdoor Fitness Station in Riverdale Park East (there are washrooms). At 11:30 we start walking west, through the park, ending at the Blake House Restaurant * (Wellesley & Jarvis) by 12:30. All sessions are free and I’ll be running them through the summer. Hope to see you there! * The Blake House is where our Sci-Fi and Fantasy Writers' Group meets every Saturday from 1pm - 4pm to critique each other’s work. For more information on this event. Check out our Meetup events page.

Chill, relax and get over the mid-week hump with boardgames! Pick a game from the WoodForSheep demo library or bring your own games to share & play. All experience levels are welcome. Woodforsheep sitting fee: $8 per person

Struggling with motivation and focus as you hammer away on your manuscript at home? Want to join a community of writers as we embrace the joys and pains (mostly pains) of writing together? Bring your laptop, pen & paper, old-school typewriter, or futuristic writing gadget, and join an enthusiastic community of science fiction and fantasy writers as we work on our current projects in the same space. The format will be similar to our online writing sprints: 30-minute blocks of focused, quiet writing time (the sprints), interspersed with breaks where we can chat, ask questions, and share our writing experiences.

While we may be one of the largest local writing communities, we're not the only game in town! Join us for a get together with the Toronto Romance Writers. There's definitely overlap between our genres (romantasy, anyone?), so this is a great opportunity to meet local writers in a slightly but not too different field. We'll be meeting at The Fox and the Fiddle location near Pape Station.

Every Wednesday Night! Free Magic The Gathering Commander games at Hairy Tarantula, hosted by Toronto Gaymers! Please note: Masks are required in store! For more information and to RSVP please over to harryt.com/events
