HolacracyOne Introductory Workshop

Register Here

This thorough and experiential introduction to Holacracy covers all of its core components through interactive presentation, hands-on exercises, and immersive simulations. Holacracy™ is a comprehensive practice for governing and running our organizations - a new organizational operating system designed to dramatically increase agility, transparency, innovation, and accountability. In this training, participants will experience Holacracy in action via hands-on exercises and immersive simulations:

• Gain a deeper awareness of habits and practices that come from a "Predict & Control" mindset, and get a first-hand feel for Holacracy's "Dynamic Steering" alternatives
• Experience the Integrative Decision-Making™ process used in Holacracy's transformative Governance Meetings
• Interactively explore Holacracy's self-organizing structure and double-linking paradigm, and learn how it scales across organizations small and large
• Experience Holacracy's lightning-quick, action-focused Tactical Meetings
• Learn the structure behind Holacracy's purpose-driven board, and see the broader vision for scaling Holacracy across multiple organizations and broader society
• Connect the dots to see Holacracy's end-to-end approach for moving from aim to action, and understand how it can ground the most abstract purpose in concrete next-actions to reach it

Suggested Donation $20.
Elective Credit is not available for this event Register

“One of the most exciting and powerful developments in the whole field of spirituality, awakening, and personal transformation has been pioneered by Saniel Bonder and Linda Groves-Bonder and the international "Waking Down in Mutuality" movement. They use the acronym "ROSE" to identify the bio-spiritually natural and evolutionary attributes of such spirituality: Radical - Organismic - Sentient - Emergent.

Come and join Linda and Saniel for a direct, personal, highly enlivening and empowering, initiatory introduction into your own "ROSE" work or potential paradigmatic path. In this evening session they will focus on each of the three principles of Waking, Down, and Mutuality. You'll encounter cutting-edge ideas that may challenge some of your most taken-for-granted assumptions. Yet the whole event will be conducted and held in a heart-space that fills the room with mutual honoring, love, and respect for who each and all of us are, and are becoming. For more information: www.wakingdown.org

Saniel Bonder is the Founder of the Waking Down in Mutuality. Linda Groves-Bonder is Saniel’s full partner in The White-Hot Yoga of the Heart transmission and teachings and a Founding and Senior Teacher of the Waking Down in Mutuality work. Saniel and Linda are founding members of the Integral Institute, and charter members of the Integral Spiritual Center

Many of us at One Spirit were privileged to have experienced the healing work of Shakti Durga during her last stop in New York as part of their US tour. Since then, Shakti Durga has received very insistent guidance that there is more work to be done in the NY Metropolitan area.

Therefore, inspired simply by a compelling motivation to serve, Shakti Durga will be returning to One Spirit to take advantage of the unique energy portal that has opened up following the recent earthquake and hurricane. She invites us all to gather together to harmonize this energy to the vibration of peace, and to formulate and hold a vision of a brighter and more empowered America.

We invite you to experience first-hand the work of Shakti Durga, whose work is centered around igniting the spirit to create enlightened consciousness and Divine self-realization, supporting a vision of living in a golden age of peace.

Shakti Durga is the founder of Shantimission.org and the Harmony Centers, multi-faith healing centers operating throughout Australia. She is also the founder of Project Hope, an initiative to provide free energetic healing to those suffering from depression, and to victims of trauma and natural disaster.

Finding a Place in Society: Intuition, Meditation and Healing for Young Adults in a Life Transition, Stephen & Tasha Halpert

Sunday Oct. 9th, 12:30pm – 5:30pm
Register Here



The transition period between the end of our educational years and the beginning of our lives as independent adults can be some of the most challenging, but they also contain a wealth of opportunity. As young men and women, we often prepare ourselves to step into the world full of hopes and dreams, only to be met quickly by some of the harsh realities of life. It is no easy task to find our place in culture and society, and it can be even more difficult to discover who we really are as human beings. And much too rarely do we encounter individuals with the wisdom and compassion to mentor and guide us during these turbulent times.

Stephen and his wife Tasha Halpert are two such individuals. For over 30 years the Halpert’s have worked as spiritual counselors and teachers of meditation and intuitive development. As life coaches, Tasha and Stephen have traveled extensively across the globe working with young people in their transition to adulthood, guiding them toward the fulfillment of their dreams as well as the ability to have happiness, good health, a successful career, fulfilling relationships, and a meaningful place in society.

OneSpirit Class of 2011 Graduation Ceremony and Celebration
The Riverside Church
490 Riverside Drive
New York, New York 10027

June.11. 2011 at 2:00 PM ET

The huge pipe organ at Riverside Church in Manhattan howls two loud chords as the doors to the chapel open and the 2500 pairs of eyes of those seated in the pews turn to witness an unusual processional. You are invited to join us, too, as our One Spirit Interfaith Seminary and Interspiritual Counseling class of 2011 steps forward into their ministries at their commencement ceremony and celebration.

The processional is like none other seen. No matching, coordinated caps and gowns here. Each new graduate has chosen their unique expression of the sacred as they proceed down the aisle in the vestments that most clearly represent who they are. It is like a rainbow, the only effort at coordination being the ministerial stoles that hang from their necks. The colorful parade ensues. Each graduate carries a white rose, symbolizing the mystical truth at the core of each faith tradition, and representing each heart pouring itself out in love. The roses form a grand bouquet that stands at the center of the ceremonial space.A moving Interfaith/Interspiritual worship service unfolds, with blessings and prayers shared by clergy from many of the worlds great traditions.

We invite you to join us in honoring and celebrating the graduation of the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary Class of 2011, and to experience the awe and splendor of this special rite of passage

An Introduction to Thomas Hubl: The Energy of Transformation - COMMUNITY EVENT

Wednesday Oct. 12, 7-9 PM
Register Here


As we realize the many layers of filtering that distorts our perceptions, we begin to taste our own experience more directly with less interference from those ubiquitous filters. This unique experience will introduce you to a direct approach for connecting with yourself as you connect with others. As you incorporate new methods to see through the perceptual screens that distort your awareness and to navigate the many levels of consciousness, you will become better able to metabolize your experience, evolve your consciousness and participate in a genuine “experience of WE”. At the same time your capacity to support others on the same journey as a mentor, minister, healer, leader or spiritual friend will grow in important ways.

Thomas Hübl is a contemporary spiritual teacher with an uncompromising clarity on the importance of spiritual friendship and the potential to create an enlightened “Culture of WE”. His workshops and trainings invite people to experience a deeper dimension of self-awareness and individual responsibility. The radical path of transcendence from the ego-centric world opens the door to deeply authentic expression, service to the world and to the focus on the absolute. Experiencing a driving force to take part in evolutionary processes, people apply their gifts into the world in a concrete way. For more information go to www.thomashuebl.com.
