John of God Casa Meditation Nights
Prayer and the Current: Union, Purpose, Fellowship
For where two or three come together in my name, there I am with them. Matthew 18:20
When we gather in prayer during Casa meditation sessions we hold a mutual understanding that our common purpose is to direct and focus our thoughts on love, compassion and charity. Our intention is to open our hearts to these feelings as they generate a current of energy to which the loving and compassionate Spirits of the Casa de Dom Inacio respond: they come and share their healing power and energy for our well being. This healing energy flows and unites us in fraternity and fellowship: this is the key for the work. When we become a single heart, the Entities of Light are able to use the energy generated from this current for our healing, our highest good, the good of this planet and for humanity. It is important to remember we are not the ones who direct how this energy will be used: it is the Spirits of the Casa, as the pure representatives of our Creator, that will direct the use of this energy. We, by focusing on love and opening our hearts, surrender and literally become channels of light simply by holding our intention on love and knowing we are all One during this time. This is why we do not cross our arms or legs during the meditation, or focus on our own issues and problems during the current: these actions separate us from one another and lessen the healing power of the current.
Shamanic Healing Circle
This is an opportunity for us to come together as a community and journey for our individual health and spiritual growth as well as for the healing of our planet. Each session is unique and all that is required is that you know how to journey or are familiar with shamanic journeying. Half of our time will be instructional and the other half will be a series of individual or group journeys. Suggested donation is $20.00
Life after Soul Retrieval
These circles will meet every three months and offer a safe place to discuss and explore issues and concerns that have come up after Soul Retrieval. Time will be spent on both group discussions and further journeying techniques and guided visualizations meant to deepen our connections with our essence and the essence of our guardian and power animals. Suggested donation is $20.00
Tibetan Singing Bowl Concerts
Every other month I shall be offering a Tibetan Singing Bowl “healing” concert. This is an opportunity for deeper meditation, cleansing and balancing of chakras, and a time to rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit. Each session will be focused on the needs of the particular group and will be 45 minutes. If you would like to set up a concert for your office, school, support group, church, please email me so we may discuss your needs. Suggested donation is $20.00

If you are considering a trip to John of God, I highly recommend Heather Cumming, who is John of God’s personal translator, a Daughter of the Casa, and an Official Casa Guide. For the past seven years it has been a privilege to mange her groups to the Casa and I’m honored to have her as my spiritual sister and colleague in this work.
