the Shawnigan Lake School
on Vancouver Island, located halfway between Victoria and Duncan;
with room on campus for 200+ people
As well there are nearby campgrounds, hotels and Bed and Breakfasts.
The theme will allow us to develop seven major aspects of the amazing metal gold -
stretching from its spiritual history origins in light to the distant future of the transparent gold ground of
New Jerusalem. Between the distant past and the distant future:
• The uses of gold by ancient cultures and their views
• Conquistadores and prospectors
• The medical value
• Gold backing in economics and the creative social forming around new thinking
• Artistic and sacred uses of gold
• The moral qualities of “a heart of gold” or a “golden period”
• The participation of human beings in the alchemy of
creating a new, “living gold.”
While the main language will be English, we will also work in Spanish and Portuguese as much as possible. The daily talks will be translated so participants from North and South America can share the content.
There will be many choices for workshops at the conference. Each day the Act of Consecration of Man (in different languages) and a Close of Day Service, both with sermons will be celebrated.
A concurrent Youth Conference and children’s day camp will make this a family-oriented experience.
Mark your calendars, make your plans and spread the word!
With warmth and love,
