This is an **event at 1801 Robert Fulton Dr., Reston, VA 20191** (All participants must have RSVP'd). We continue exploring the foundational Buddhist sutra: the **Heart Sutra**. This the shortest sutra but the most fundamental. Our meeting schedule will be as follows: * **40 minutes:** Sitting meditation * **5 minutes:** Break * **45 minutes:** Group discussion of the Heart Sutra. During the sitting meditation session, we will provide you with a non-roller chair (or feel free to bring in your own meditation pad/pillow). If you are a first timer, detailed instructions will be provided when you are here at 1801 Robert Fulton Drive).

You’ve experienced names being decoded. Now you are invited to activate your own awareness—and decode yourself. Join Les Browder (Letter-ologist) and Nikki (Intuitive Psychic & Energy Channel) for a live, immersive experience where your name becomes a gateway into higher consciousness, energetic alignment, and self-realization. Your name is not random. It is an energetic signature—a vibrational code carrying insight, memory, and purpose. This experience is for those who are ready. Those who are spiritually aware, curious, and committed to their growth and evolution. If you feel called deeper… this space was created for you. ⸻ ✦ What You Will Activate • The ability to encode and decode your own name as a system of consciousness • Awareness of the energetic patterns shaping your life experience • A grounded method for clarity, alignment, and intentional evolution Each participant will receive a personal Encode/Decode Sheet™—a practical tool to translate your name into real insight and usable awareness. ⸻ ✦ Nikki’s Role: Intuitive Channel & Energy Reader As the structure of your name is revealed, Nikki opens the intuitive field. She will: • Channel psychic messages aligned with your name and soul path • Provide energetic confirmation to what is revealed • Deliver intuitive insight beyond the analytical level Where Letterology reveals the structure, Nikki reveals the energy, frequency, and truth within it. Each participant will receive an index card to decorate and keep. Nikki will provide a personalized, positive affirmation based on your reading—something you can take with you as a reminder of your alignment and truth. ⸻ ✦ The Experience This is not just information. This is activation. Not becoming someone new— but aligning with who you’ve always been. ⸻ You’ve seen it done. Now you learn how to do it. The Name Code™ ✦ Atmosphere Light refreshments will be available, including water, juice, wine, and a selection of fruit and cheese—creating a relaxed, welcoming space for connection and integration. Energy Exchange $40 *Cash Only*

“When you open yourself to divine truth, the mere fact that you can identify a problem means that you have the solution within you. What you are attempting to achieve through the Spiritual Exercises of ECK is the expansion of consciousness whereby you can better see the solution to your problem.” ─ Harold Klemp, The Golden Heart, p. 88 You are Divine Soul – and have the godlike power of creative imagination within you. Using this power, you can find solutions for every problem and take charge of your own life. But how do you actually do it? How can you best tap the creativity of your true self, and manifest a happier and more productive life for yourself now? During a lively discussion, we’ll explore ways to more consciously connect with the Divine power, more effectively address our fears, and transform the way we identify and work with problems. All attendees will receive a free copy of the book, “ECK Wisdom on Solving Problems.” We look forward to seeing you there!
