Can
we live as our spiritual selves and yet remain grounded in three-dimensional
reality? Is there a way we can live vibrantly in the physical world
while maintaining our spiritual nature? In other words, can a mystic
also be “worldly,” or at least firmly planted on earth?
According to Diane
Brandon, the answers are, resoundingly, “Yes!”
Living as spiritual beings on a physical Earth is rarely an easy
prospect, yet there are ways in which we can cultivate a three-dimensional
vibrancy without relinquishing our spirituality. She will share
how she has learned to do just that through the adventure that her
own life has been.
Diane was born and grew up in New Orleans through a mostly
typical middle class childhood—an avid reader with lots of
interests and activities—except for her innate fascination
with psychic phenomena. It was a long time, however, before that
interest became the basis of her life’s work. Her path brought
her to Duke for a degree in French; to graduate school in radio,
television, and motion pictures at UNC-Chapel Hill; through conventional
work as a secretary, research assistant, and manager; and self employment
in the performing arts. Her interest in all things metaphysical
never waned, however, and in the early 1990s, she was persuaded
by a friend to try working as a telephone psychic. As her confidence
grew, her concept of what a psychic does evolved from “fortune
teller” to “intuitive counselor,” and formed the
foundation of the work she does today.
In her 17 years of intuitive work, Diane has focused on helping
others to live to their fullest potential and lead fulfilling lives,
drawing upon her own inherently spiritual and mystical orientation.
Her radio show, “Vibrant Living,” both entertains and
provides listeners with invaluable information and lively conversation
with established experts, covering cutting edge research in a number
of fields that shed further light on improving our lives.
After living and working in the Triangle area for about 30 years,
Diane now lives in Memphis, Tennessee. (She misses us, though, and
has plans to move back to the Triangle area!) She’s the author
of the books Invisible Blueprints: Intuitive Insights for Fulfillment
in Life and the forthcoming Intuition for Thinkers,
and she has produced several meditation CDs. Learn more about Diane
and her work at www.DianeBrandon.com
and www.DianeBrandon.net.
“We’re living in an incredibly exciting time, with shifts
in consciousness increasing consistently,” Diane tells us,
“and we can create a vision for our world that serves a unifying
purpose and embraces a positive and inclusive orientation, as well
as enabling our full and vibrant potential.”

Early Meditation - Free
6:30 - 7:00 PM in the
Ralph Waldo Emerson room
Come early and treat yourself to the gift of a healing and centering meditation.
The first few minutes are focused on sending healing love and light to
Mother Earth and her inhabitants.
Then enjoy an extended meditation led by Lois Cavanagh-Daley.
Lois is an active member of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh
who has studied mysticism and yoga for many years. Her early meditation
will focus on Mahatma Gandhi’s statement, “You must be the
change you wish to see in the world.” The five-minute meditation
before the main program will be about creating a peaceful world by living
peacefully.
We will, as always, have a brief meditation before the start
of our program. This will also be lead by Lois Cavanagh-Daley.
