Light,
Darkness and the Divine Mother
|
At
this time of year we are called to mercy and compassion. How
can we learn to embrace all we are with compassion?
|
|
As we approach the
holiday season, the theme of light and darkness is a recurring
refrain. In this presentation Mark Malachi will illuminate
us on the common threads that link the Winter Solstice,
Christmas and Channukah.
Using both lecture and song, Mark will explore the mystical,
religious and historical motifs of the Season of Light paying
particular attention to Jewish, Christian and Pagan notions
of the Divine Mother. The spiritual significance of darkness
will also be explored, highlighting the importance of embracing
our fears, frustrations and failures.
At this time of year we are called
to mercy and compassion. How can we learn to embrace all
we are with compassion? How can the Divine Mother assist
us in becoming whole and integrated beings?
Mark will use original and traditional
sacred music in Hebrew and English to punctuate his talk.
Mark Malachi, M.A., M.S.C., Ph.D.,
is a Jewish Cantor and Rabbinical
student, an ordained Interfaith Minister, a Spiritual Counselor
and Healer, an accomplished musician and a world class belly
dancer. He has 15 recordings of original and traditional
sacred music. Currently Mark is the Spiritual Teacher of
the Unity Center of Peace in Chapel Hill. He considers himself
to be a "Priest of the Goddess." He serves as
a bridge between
Judaism and Christianity, between masculine and feminine,
between ancient traditions and new modes of spiritual expression.
Mark's words of wisdom and inspirational
music are not to be missed! He might even be coaxed into
dancing!

Early Meditation:
Alchemical Initiation
Neesa Moloney
Metaphysician, Astrologer and Integrative
Healing Arts Practitioner Neesa Moloney will lead the meditations
at the December 2 SFF meeting. In this soul empowering meditation,
you will be guided in an alchemical initiation
leading to the transcendent unity of light and dark through
which you will experience resolution of inner conflict or
confusion that may be operating consciously or unconsciously
within your psyche. As we harmonize collectively in this
transcendent unity, we will be guided in connecting with
the global network of Light Beings and in grounding this
Light into the body of Earth, of Gaia, at this time of least
light at the Winter Solstice.
Neesa is a Sensitive who was born
with the gifts of clairvoyance and clairaudience as well
as direct guidance and communication with Angels and Nature
Spirits. A lifelong student and teacher of spiritual traditions
and
principles, in 1975 Neesa received Direct Transmission in
the Crazy Wisdom School of Tibetan Buddhism. She completed
a book on meditation entitled Playing Heartsounds in Counterpoint
Harmony in 1977. In 1985 she began a seven-year apprenticeship
on the Medicine Path in the Chippewa tradition.
Licensed as a Massage Therapist in 1983, Neesa is trained
in numerous types of body and energy work out of which she
has developed her own unique style, which often incorporates
visualization as an Alchemical Integration Process.
In 1990 Neesa began including
astrological consultations as part of her Integrative Healing
practice. She focuses on the Divine Feminine with particular
emphasis on the Lilith triplicity, which reveals the path
to
wholeness within the horoscope. "My passion and purpose
are to assist individuals in fully embodying their Soul
Essence and to assist humanity in Awakening to the Power
of the Sacred in Co-creating Heaven Here on Earth in this
Now." Neesa may be reached at earthstarising@yahoo.com
or
919-933-9294.
The early meditation is held from
6:30
to 7 PM in the Vaughn Wing. Please be on time so as not
to disturb the energy of the channeled meditation.
