About This Event

Description

Nature and Pets as a Bridge to the Divine is an online spiritual workshop from Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. (Association for Research & Enlightenment), offered as part of its Wednesday Night Webinars. It is for anyone drawn to the idea that the natural world and the animals who share our homes can open a path to spiritual awareness, and who would like to explore that from wherever they are. John Van Auken, a meditation teacher long associated with A.R.E., leads it.

What to Expect

This is an evening webinar held online, running from 8:00 PM to 9:15 PM. It belongs to a series of Wednesday evening sessions from A.R.E. on spiritual and Edgar Cayce-related themes, so the setting is that of a teaching evening rather than a retreat or a movement class. The title points to its focus: the relationship between people, nature and pets, and what those relationships can teach about spiritual life. Because you join from home, you can attend with your own animals nearby or from a quiet spot with a window or a garden view.

The topic is how nature and animal companions can open a path to the Divine. John Van Auken's background is in the Edgar Cayce readings, the Bible, world religions, and meditation, so expect that lens. The organizer's page does not list a detailed outline, so I can't promise specific passages or exercises.
His best-known title is Toward a Deeper Meditation, a bestselling book on meditation. It is a good primer if you want to approach the session with a contemplative practice in mind. Reading it is not required to follow the webinar.
