Exploring The Law of Attraction

The Conscious Living Institute of Central Oklahoma presents

With Dara Fogel Ph.D.
Sundays 1:30 to 3:30 pm
May 16 – June 6
Norman Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
1309 Boyd St, Norman OK

Recent advancements in both Quantum Science and the field of Self-Development have indicated that our thoughts and emotions have profound effects upon not only the way we experience our lives, but also help to determine what kinds of experiences we attract into our lives.

In this series of classes/workshops, we will discover the science and theory behind the creation of our personal realities.

Through practical applications and exercises, we will explore ways to attract the life we desire.

Through discussion and experimentation, we will seek to find the most effective ways to make our dreams come true!

A Gathering for Intentional Communities

Saturday March 13, 2010 9am-12:00pm

St Stephen’s United Methodist Church1801 Brooks St, Norman, OK

Intentional Communities (ICs) and Cohousing have burst onto the scene in the U.S., introducing large segments of the population to the many advantages of resource sharing, the tools to design thriving neighborhoods, etc.

What is an “Intentional Community?”

From the Fellowship for Intentional Communities’ website (www.ic.org):

“Intentional Community is an inclusive term for ecovillages, cohousing communities, residential land trusts, communes, student co-ops, urban housing cooperatives, intentional living, alternative communities, cooperative living, and other projects where people strive together with a common vision.” Any group of two or more adults that chooses to call itself a community is welcome to participate.

Romance and Resilience: Emotional Self-Mastery in Relationships

St. Valentine’s Day Presentation

Morning Star Center for Spiritual Living
329 S. Peters, Norman, OK 73069

Love, baby. Gotta have it. But what exactly is it? The word itself has become loaded with such a diversity of meanings and usage and innuendo that one must be very careful in conversation so as not to be misconstrued. The West glorifies Romantic Love as the epitome of interpersonal relationships. Yet, it is considered by many “grown-ups” to be an emotional minefield hardly worth the trouble, but almost impossible to avoid.

Wake-Up Dancing: Waking The Dead

Rolling on the success of our first event, CLICO is holding our next conscious dance at the Norman Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Friday, October 16, 2009. In homage to the season, it will have a darker, All Hallow’s Eve flavor.

Review: Wake-Up Dancing 9/11/09

As the inaugural event for CLICO, our first conscious dance was a truly stellar experience! Based on our own response and that of many of the participants, we have begun planning our next dance for November 16.

Here is Richard’s review (long in coming) for the 9-11 Global Peace Dance:

Cultural Creatives – Just me and 50 million of my closest friends

Are you someone who who cares deeply about ecology and saving the planet, about relationships, peace, social justice, and about authenticity, self actualization, spirituality and self-expression? How about noticing that both the left and right wing political voices seem to missing something essential? Have you ever felt like it’s just you and a few odd people you know who really “get it”?

In case you have never heard of the term cultural creative, it was coined and made popular by Paul Ray & Sherry Anderson, through their (c)2000 book The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People Are Changing the World. The sociological survey they conducted on American values shows that there are three distinct demographic groups coexisting today. Cultural Creatives are the most recent emergence, and are still virtually invisible to major news media.

This demographic exists as fully here in the heartland of Oklahoma as everywhere else. While it may be somewhat disconcerting to notice it at first, the consciousness community is no doubt made up of cultural creatives. We are not lone rangers and jeremiahs, but actually members of a large and growing (yet heretofore recognized), broad-ranging group of individuals who share very similar basic core values.

Look up, look around, and say hello!

Like Jerry Garcia says, “strangers stopping strangers, just to shake their hand, ev’rybody’s playin’ in the Heart of Gold band”.
