Spiritual Psychology:
Spiritual development is a journey in consciousness. We become travelers in the unexplored territory of our own being, in our unknown depths. To find our way and actualize our deeper spiritual possibilities is the greatest challenge we can undertake. Rod Davis, Ph.D. in East-West Psychology, is the author of Reaching True Peace: 7 Universal Realms of Spiritual Development. He teaches universal principles of spiritual psychology distilled through many years of meditation practice, training in the yoga tradition, study of world-wide traditions, and knowledge of depth psychology.
The Philosophy of Nonviolence - a Strategy for Complete Freedom from Oppression
A special Martin Luther King weekend day-long Saturday workshop. Rod Davis, Ph.D., is your guide to explore the philosophy of nonviolence as Mahatma Gandhi worked it out. The fundamental principles that he put into practice are immensely deep, powerful, challenging, transformative, and practical. To live by these principles is to live a truly non-ordinary life. It is to throw off all oppression, no matter what the situation is. We all have inumerable opportunities every day to practice real nonviolence. But it is far from easy, as our conditioning continually asserts itself and stands in our way. Join Rod for an interactive journey into the possibilities for a radical life of freedom.

Alchemy: The Radical Underground of Western Spirituality
An in-depth workshop with Rod Davis, Ph.D.
Alchemy was a hidden but living spiritual tradition for at least 1500 years in the West with roots in Hellenistic world of Egypt and Greece, kept alive in the Arabic countries during the Dark Ages, and moving back into Spain and Italy beginning in the 12th century, and spreading through Western Europe as the Age of Enlightenment took hold. It was practiced on many levels, often with laboratories in which the physical transmutation of lead into gold was attempted. The true alchemists were, however, spiritual explorers, deeply devoted to their "Royal Art." Join Rod Davis, Ph.D., for a stimulating day learning about Alchemy and applying its secrets and principles to our own lives and our own journeys of consciousness development.
