Sun Sep 08 – Consciousness and the Growth of ‘Spiritual But Not Religious’

Our event starts at 11 am on the 2nd floor of the Koffler House (569 Spadina Avenue).  Social 10:45am – 11:00am.

We all inherently have an understanding of consciousness, our awareness that we are alive and able to comprehend our existence.  In this presentation our featured speaker, Philosofree (a.k.a Phil Cheney), links scientific perspectives from Quantum Physics, Holon Theory, and Dark Energy into an interesting way to view consciousness as connectedness.  The second part of the presentation will look at the fastest growing philosophy in North America and its reliance on these new views of consciousness as the energy/fuel to free individual belief from societal dogma.

Erik Bleich

Our guest musician will be Erik Bleich. Erik is a singer songwriter whose genre blends classic pop and folk traditions – from street lit lullabies to manic, rambling romps.  It’s his vision of folk music for the Internet Age.  Check out his website: www.erikbleich.com

Cathy Fountas will do the Community Moment.  The Community Moment is a chance for one of our own to share their journey, thoughts about life, or something personal about themselves.  It could be light and silly or it could be emotionally heavy.  Either way, you’ll learn more about a valued person in our community.  Interested in presenting your own Community Moment?  Contact Tania at 416oasis@gmail.com.
