Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith is a dynamic spiritual leader who has touched millions through his appearance in The Secret and the spiritual community he founded, the Agape International Spiritual Center. With elegant simplicity and insight, he shares with us how we can aspire toward spiritual liberation in our daily life.
Rev. Beckwith draws on a wide spectrum of teachings, including ancient wisdom from Jesus and Buddha; insight from contemporary spiritual luminaries Thich Nhat Hanh, Sri Aurobindo, and the Dalai Lama; and ideas from New Thought teachers Emanuel Swedenborg, Walter Russell, and Howard Thurman. By synthesizing their messages, he guides us to realize that inner spiritual work, not religiosity or dogma, is what will liberate us.
This weekend we learn the practices of spiritual liberation, including meditation, prayer, and affirmations that distill spiritual concepts into simple daily practices anyone can use. Inspiring singer and choir director Rickie Byars Beckwith performs and leads us in song as we explore our inner and outer worlds.
Rickie Byars Beckwith is also teaching (with Tim McAfee-Lewis) Singing the Gospel of Love; July 19-24, 2009.
