Sound Journeys through Gongs & Himalayan Bowls | Workshop
Led by Crown of Eternity
June 19 @ 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Purchase tickets in advance at MergingHearts.org; Space is limited | $30
Vibrate and tune into your inner self-healer, inviting a state of harmony and bliss. Bathe in waves of
sound from multiple gongs, bells, and metal singing bowls. The deep complex harmonics of multiple
gongs quickly silence the mind and entrain the brain into a spontaneous state of deep meditation.
The rhythmic sound oscillations of therapy grade Himalayan bowls placed on or around the body
penetrate into the tissues and are often experienced as a full body sound massage allowing you to
let go of stress, worry, anxiety, doubt, fear and feelings which have a negative effect on our health
and life. We will lie down for extended periods of time. For your comfort, bring a —yoga mat, blanket, and cushion.
Every Sunday morning, 10:30 am – 12 noon
Enlightened Beings is a weekly discussion group with guest facilitators giving educational presentations, leading discussions, and sharing experiences from various spiritual traditions.
Topics and presenters are carefully chosen to awaken dynamic and nurturing community building and personal growth. If you have an open mind and a yearning spirit, you will feel right at
home. Join us at 10:00 am for coffee, bring a breakfast treat to share!

Finding Your Life’s Purpose | Discussion on an Eckhart Tolle lecture
Kathy Jevec, Moderator
If you have been searching for your true purpose in life, Eckhart Tolle has some straightforward advice: stop
struggling. Spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. At age twenty-nine, a profound inner transformation radically changed the
course of his life. Today, Eckhart is a sought-after public speaker who teaches and travels extensively throughout the
world.
Kathy Jevec is an accomplished artist and enthusiastic educator. She organizes the
Enlightened Beings speakers and programs for Merging Hearts.
Dances of Universal Peace, Sacred Circle Dances Kris and Jeff Kiko-Cozy, Facilitators
Drawing on sacred phrases, scripture, and poetry of many spiritual traditions on earth,
the Dances blend chant, live music and simple movement into a living experience of
unity, peace and integration.
No musical or dance experience is required and everyone is welcomed to join. Participation, not presentation, is the focus. Loose, comfortable clothes and shoes or bare
feet are appropriate. Participants join hands forming a circle with the Dance leader and
musicians accompany.
