Some people fall in love with potential. The Spirit is magnificent and simple and can be grasped in a flash. The human self is complicated and has many sides and takes time to know. The human condition has enormous complexity. How many different moods, feelings, interactions, and events take place for each of us on just one day? And this happens the world over, for the billions of people in it. All this complexity and variety makes up the human condition.
To understand someone we encounter, we need to see the person’s Spirit and the person’s human condition, we need to see them together. The same holds true if we want to understand ourselves. We need to see our Spirit, which is our essence and potential and our human expression, which is our stage of awareness and actualization at the time.
Seeing Spirit
Many of us are not aware of Spirit because we have been conditioned not to look for it. In our childhood, we were taught to focus on, identify, and name objects, and to look on the surface at how people appear in the world. What you are conditioned to focus on is what you see. We usually were not taught to see the light and energy around objects or to perceive the inner life of people. To see Spirit, we basically need to change our focus, as trivial as that may sound. Then when you concentrate on seeing beneath the surface at the essence, the Spirit, of an individual, it moves to the foreground, and you start to see, feel, and know this essential goodness and beauty in everyone.

In this workshop, Ellen will share tools for learning to perceive the Spirit in ourselves and others. She will also talk about the practical ramifications of this skill.
The day after her life was forever altered by her deceased mother’s visit, she walked the streets of Manhattan gazing into the crowds. From her new awareness it was apparent that every person was Spirit temporarily on the earth. It amazed her that she had not see this before.
In fact, the first lesson taught to her by her guides was that Spirit is the only constant, the part of ourselves as human beings that never changes, the part of everything that never changes. In its qualities, it is always compassionate, always balanced, always loving, always wise. This holds true for the Spirit in every human being. When you see and feel the Spirit in another person, even if it is one of the worst people you can imagine, you naturally feel a response of love because the Spirit is magnificent. What does this mean for daily life?

In this class I continue teaching the lessons from my guides. Different than the introductory course, the ongoing class has no set series. Each class topic is communicated to me from my guides shortly before the beginning of the class. Some topics from past classes include: the relationship between destiny and free will, the balance between tolerance and intolerance, and comparing experiential knowing and deductive reasoning. Over the years my guides have provided me with thousands of interesting class topics.
Just as with the beginning course, the presence of the guides provides an expansive environment where perceptions are deepened and awareness heightened. A practice exercise is given at the end of class to help everyone integrate the material covered.
If you have interest or questions, please get in touch via my contact page.
Prerequisite for the Boston class:
Anyone who has completed the beginner course or the two intro workshops, “Lessons from My Guides” and “The Wisdom of the Chakras” can join this class in September.

My connection and communication with my guides from the spiritual realms has been a deep and powerful schooling at every level, intellectual, moral, emotional, practical. Their wisdom and unswerving belief in the essential goodness of every person has been a consistent presence to emulate.
This workshop is an overview of a class series that I have taught for twenty-five years, which concentrates on meditation techniques and a spiritual philosophy. This methodology has been communicated to me from my guides. During the workshop an expansive energy is generated by their presence. This force helps to transform limited attitudes and deepens perceptions of oneself and life. Practical exercises are given to help everyone integrate the material covered.

Tools for Navigating the Complexity of Life

In this workshop, I will share knowledge and tools linked to the chakra system that I have gathered from clairvoyance, contact with spiritual guides, and in my counseling practice, teaching and in my personal life.
Each chakra center represents a different part of our nature. With an understanding of the chakras, weaknesses can be identified and strengthened. In this way, the chakra system offers tools for healing and deeper self-knowledge, as well as a more complete and compassionate understanding of others.
I will show how the chakra system functions in everyday life, how our thoughts, words, and actions affect this system, and how the chakras in turn shape us. I also provide practical exercised that can be integrated easily into daily life to heal each chakra and attain the alignment needed for a healthy and I believe, a spiritual life.

Tom Bartlett was an extraordinary healer from New Zealand who worked at my kitchen table for a number of years in the 80’s. I observed him perform one miracle after another, including the healing of my daughter’s sever scoliosis in only two weeks. I was privileged to learn Tom’s system and have practiced on family and friends for twenty years. Lately, I have had some remarkable results inspiring me to share this tool with others and teach this workshop. Please bring a pendulum and a Materia Medica by Boericke if you plan to attend.
