LifePrints: Deciphering Your Life Purpose from Your Fingerprints

LifePrints suggests that each person on this planet has an individually designed Life Purpose. More than a career plan, philosophical statement or self improvement list, your Life Purpose is your personal connection to meaning, to spirit, to all that is. Finding and living your life purpose is the single most important thing you can ever do. In this one hour lecture, Richard will talk about how each person’s unique and unalterable fingerprints reveal their life purpose and how this information can be used to create a renewed sense of direction and a new perspective on life’s possibilities.

With Grace Caitlin

The Shift Deck

Most people are addicted to drama! Drama may be painful, but it is so entertaining! As a relationship coach, Grace Caitlin has discovered, that the only thing that supports people in getting out of drama permanently is replacing it with play. So she, along with colleague Diana Chapman, created the Shift Deck to support you in learning how to play with the issues that come up in your life. The deck is especially beneficial for those juicy relationship interlocks. During this experiential evening we will explore the drama game, how to have more fun while doing it and how to play “outside the box” as well. “Outside the box,” is where creative possibility is sourced. Come with your issues, ready to play!

With Camille Helminski

“Rumi’s Sun”

These are the teachings that caused Rumi to dance! In the words of Camille Helminski, "Shams throws open the shutters, reveals the vista and brings us out into that infinite expanse of clear air, and strong life, into the Presence of the Beloved." She has written these words as part of the introduction to the Maqalat , the translation of Sham of Tabriz's teachings

Rumi's Sun is a record of the many lessons and discourses of Shams ad-Din of Tabriz.Sham was a spiritual master who was the catalyst for Rumi's awakening and his teachings were an inspiration for much of Rumi's poetry. In this work, Camille Helminski& Refik Algan have offered these teachings in their traditional order. Those who read Rumi's Sun will gain access into the Sufi traditions and the power of mystical love.
