FOLLOWING THE GOLDEN THREAD
An Examination of World Religions
Wednesdays 7:00-8:00 PM
April 22 - June 24

Inspire yourself on Wisdom Wednesdays exploring a different spiritual teaching on each of 10 weeks. Follow the Golden Thread of Truth that runs through Ancient Wisdom and is still relevant in the Modern World. Understand how the various faiths build on and borrow from each other. Each program is unique.

Wednesdays, April 22 through June 24, from 7:00-8:00 PM, the San Diego Center for Spiritual Living presents a weekly series of lessons on religions that have shaped history, civilizations and your next door neighbors’ views. Learn about the founders, the history, the essential teachings and religious practices of major world religions: Islam, Native American, Buddhism, Sufism, Toltec, Wicca, Christianity, Baha’i, Judaism, and Hinduism. Some religions might be familiar, some unusual, and some you may never have heard about. Although many of us think of religion as a belief system practiced through faith, obedience, prayer and worship, you'll find that some religions are more than just a belief in a deity; they are an entire philosophy and way of life.

To study religion is to study oneself. The fact of religious diversity is common to us all. Even the non-religious person lives in a world with people of different faiths. Let us embrace a new willingness to meet peacefully together, to talk together, to learn about one another's faiths, and to see what comes out of this. It is a matter of following the Spirit where it leads. Donations.

THE LIVING MATRIX
A Film on the New Science of Healing
Movie and Post-Screening Discussion

Showtimes:
October 23 and 25, 2009
Friday 5:30, 7:40
Sunday 1:50, 4:00

The Living Matrix is a new documentary that challenges conventional medicine to expand its understanding of human biology. The film uncovers evidence-based research in bioenergetic medicine that reveals energy and information fields – not genetics – drive human physiology and biochemistry. It encourages the total integration and acceptance between conventional and alternative health care. Woven among interviews with world’s most respected experts in bio-energetic medicine, dynamic 3-D graphic animation takes The Living Matrix viewer on a journey deep into the structure of the human body to illustrate how quantum biology influences health. Through in-person interviews and dramatized video vignettes that tell the stories of people who recovered from chronic illness – including a five-year-old boy born with cerebral palsy, an osteopathic doctor with a brain tumor, and a North Carolina housewife bedridden with chronic fatigue syndrome – the film demonstrates the effectiveness of bioenergetic medicine.
Donation: $7 each / 2 for $11

San Diego Center for Spiritual Living previously presented The Living Matrix's Southern California Premiere on May 9, 2009. View the film trailer at
