with Swamini Divyananda Saraswati, Co founder of the Tiruvanammalai Tirumoolar Ashram in Tiruvanammalai, India.

Swamini Divyananda Saraswati was ordained by the revered Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda of the Yoga Research Foundation in 2009. She is an ordained Interfaith Minister completing two years of education and training at the Sacred Journey Interfaith Seminary. She holds a Master of Hindu Philosophy degree from Hindu University of America and has written and taught courses on Hindu Spiritual Care for International Hindu University. A licensed Registered Nurse for the past 35 years, she has served the community in three appointed volunteer committee positions in Broward County, as well as her Neighborhood Association. After completing two units of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) with Vitas Hospice and six years of voluntary service as a hospital based Chaplain at Pembroke Memorial Hospital, she is currently serving as an Independent Community Chaplain and member of the North American Hindu Chaplains Association (NAHCA). Swami Vijayananda Ji introduced her to the Theosophical Society in Miami in 1986, and she is now a member of our lodge.

“Dream Work Shop”
with Brian Burns and Lillian Mayer
Brian Burns and Lillian Mayer will discuss a brief history of dream/prophecy, including main world traditions and their use of dreams, and definitions of traditional psychology vs. spiritual psychology and how they vary. An exploration of psychology as taught by the modern mystic, Gurdjieff will be included with reference to his mentor Sri Madhava Ashish and his guru Sri Krishna Prem. A former president and facilitator of our lodge, Sy Ginsburg, was a student of Ashish for many years and wrote about Ashish’s suggestion to Sy that he would benefit from studying The Gurdjieff Work. Sy wrote about this in a very profound and clear manner. For the Eastern tradition presenters will focus on Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and the important and unique teaching of Namakhai Norbu. For the western tradition, the focus will be on the Fourth Way, or the Work which is the usual way of addressing Gurdjieff’s teachings.
Attendees will have the opportunity to share their dreams. Insights will be encouraged in a respectful and private manner. Should sufficient interest be exhibited, the facilitators may consider an ongoing dream group.
