The Bible is not one book. It is a collection of wisdom texts from may different eras. Because of the many ways in which this collection has been misunderstood and used as a battering ram and not a wisdom text, many have discarded any deeper understanding of the Book. This misunderstanding is deeply unfortunate, and for anyone preparing for ministry of any kind it represents an area in which the mythic sub text of much of the world is not understood. This class will look at what the book is and what it is not, give you tools to delve into the deeper secrets contained within the wisdom text, and help you to understand the public and religious health codes, letters of many seekers and apocryphal books.

Rev. Dr. Jane Galloway, Spiritual Director, Sacred Center New York, is passionate about healing the communities around her. Her vision for Sacred Center, indeed the world at large, is one of collaboration and connection. She believes that by cultivating an atmosphere of open and authentic conversation we move toward oneness.

UZAZU's unique Change Facilitation Process gives you simple, powerful process that allows you to access the eight essential modes, or aspects, of facilitating deep, integrated, sustainable change with yourself and others. By tapping into the full synergy between mind and body, you'll experience which of these modes, or relational patterns, you are already using well and which you may be only scratching the surface of, or perhaps avoiding altogether!

This key sequence of eight distinct 'energy patterns' allows you to to gently and deeply sense into inner conflict and tensions and quickly transform them into powerful insights, deep resolution, and positive energy. This powerful, simple process is something that you can easily take away with you and apply to any tensions or conflicts you have! UZAZU is a transformational modality that gives you the tools you need to unlock the enormous potential of your body-mind connection. It is a language that ‘speaks’ without words. UZAZU has been born of embodied experience and extensive collaborative discovery. It integrates many spiritual, psychological, philosophical and movement disciplines, both ancient and modern, into a truly 21st Century transformational practice.

Please wear comfortable clothing and come a few minutes early. For more information on UZAZU, see www.uzazu.org. For videos teaching you the basics of UZAZU for free, go to: www.online.uzazu.org.
