Science Set Free: Dispelling Dogmas and Opening New Frontiers
with Rupert Sheldrake
presented by CIIS
Friday, September 7, 7:00-9:00PM
First Unitarian Universalist Church, 1187 Franklin Street, San Francisco
$20
http://www.ciis.edu/News_and_Events/Event_Calendar/Sheldrake_FA12_(lec).html
http://www.sheldrake.org
“This is the national book launch for Rupert Sheldrake's ground-breaking new work Science Set Free: 10 Paths to New Discovery (Random House, 2012). See below for details about companion workshop.
Many scientists believe that science already understands the nature of reality, in principle. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. The impressive achievements of science seem to support this confident attitude. But recent research has revealed unexpected problems at the heart of physics, cosmology, biology, medicine, and psychology. In his new book, launched at this event, Rupert Sheldrake shows how the sciences are being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. Should science be a belief system, or a method of inquiry? Sheldrake shows that the ‘scientific worldview’ is moribund. Increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns. In the skeptical spirit of true scientific inquiry, Sheldrake turns the ten fundamental dogmas of science into questions, opening up startling new possibilities. The universe may be alive. Nature may not be purposeless. The total amount of matter and energy may be increasing. Children may inherit characteristics acquired by their parents. Science Set Free will radically change your view of what is possible.
Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author of more than 80 scientific papers and 10 books, including Science Set Free (September 2012). He was educated at Cambridge and Harvard Universities, and was a fellow of Clare College, Cambridge University, a research fellow of the Royal Society, principal plant physiologist at ICRISAT (the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics) in Hyderabad, India, and from 2005-2010 the director of the Perrott-Warrick Project for research on unexplained human abilities, funded from Trinity College, Cambridge University. He is a fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences.”

Thanks to the generosity of the Campbell Home Depot and Behr Paint, the Campbell Historical Museum will get a vibrant new look with a burgundy and gray color scheme typical for the exterior of a 1950s building. In August, the hose tower (the tall part of the building) will be restored and painted. Then in September, Campbell Rotary will organize volunteers to paint the rest of the building on September 8 and 15.

To reserve your place, or for more information, call 707-570-0111
$20-$40 sliding scale, no one turned away for lack of funds
http://www.bodyspiritawareness.com/clinic.html
“Receive shamanic healing in a community setting
Feel the love and energy of the compassionate spirits
Socialize with shamanic healers and other participants
Experience non-dogmatic, non-religious, spirit based healing
We work in a community setting - everyone healing together.
We use drums and rattles to keep the beat of a trance state, plus bells and other sounds.
We bring you the healing of the compassionate spirits in whatever form that may take
We use appropriate touch, or the laying on of hands.
We remove negative energy and restore positive energy
We give people messages of hope and comfort from the spirits
All the clinic healers have studied shamanic healing with Stuart and Anne, and have developed deep relationships with the helping spirits.
Stuart Dole, PhD and Anne Hatfield both graduated from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies’ 3-year advanced training, where they studied directly with Michael Harner, author of Way of the Shaman, and Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and How to Heal Toxic Thoughts. They pursued further studies, learning shamanic methods from Tuva (Siberia), Tibet, Hawaii, Brazil, Africa, and the Celtic lands. They were also trained by Sandra Ingerman as shamanic teachers.
Anne has heard messages from the spirits from the time she was a child. She worked in the alternative health field for 25 years. Currently she is a yoga teacher and therapist, a massage therapist and a shamanic practitioner. Her passion is helping others explore those places where body and spirit meet.
Stuart was born into a decidedly atheist family and pursued a career in mathematics and science, earning his PhD in biophysics. But he developed an interest in spirituality, then lived in an ashram and practiced meditation devotedly for more than 30 years. He has subsequently pursued a wide array of methods for developing awareness, or enlightenment, and eventually found his way to shamanism. He is currently a meditation teacher and a shamanic bodyworker. He specializes in helping people become more present in their lives, through embodied awareness.”

“Even though we’ve spent a lot of money on retreats and therapists looking for inner happiness, we still wonder why we aren’t feeling better about our lives. While we were able to change the world, being at peace with ourselves wasn’t as easy.
What if the key to life’s richness was already inside of you, and so was a life filled with transformation and change? What if long lasting change meant:
Making peace with yourself, and learning to accept your body as it is now.
Having the courage to meet new people, and enjoying more positive relationships.
Having longer periods of peace and calm.
Theme for September: Removing negative feelings, and limiting beliefs for a successful life.
Andrea’s comprehensive approach to healing will help you to achieve the lasting change you have always wanted! Come join Andrea Johnson, a spiritual devotee and transformation coach, to learn more about these powerful steps to a successful life!”

“Rabbit invites believers of all faiths to join her in a series of Round Table discussions and Interfaith ceremonies in celebration of secular American holidays. These holidays drum up a tremendous amount of energy and cross the borders of many different spiritual traditions, but to what purpose? How can we, as Keepers of the Old Ways and Creators of New Traditions, channel this energy toward the highest good for all?
Rabbit will offer a brief presentation on the history of each holiday, its cultural meanings in the US, and then will open a dialogue around how spiritual practitioners might choose to observe these days in sacred ways, engage with them critically and intellectually, and invest them with a deeper personal sense of meaning. The evening will conclude with a ritual to focus the energy around the holiday toward healing and well-being for our nation and our world.”
