WEBSITE OF THE MONTH:
The Prophets Conference

Working to integrate expansive perspectives, and prompting discovery, beauty and understanding, The Prophets Conference looks to be of service for the creation of the direct knowing of the love filled eternal present moment in which we all abide.
It is a guiding premise of this organization that a holistic inclusive approach opening to and encompassing all the diverse avenues of life will help create healing, health, coherence, and more meaning. Many ancient and modern teachings are offered and combined to help shed pathologies growing from narcissism, fundamentalism, and materialism.
While stimulating active participation in meaningful change and creative expression in all life’s endeavors, The Prophets Conference encourages the spirit of positive emotions through learned happiness and the granting of permission to just be positive and awash in the plentitude of being. Grasping the interconnectedness of all things, together we learn to live in wonder, appreciation, awareness, and wholeness.
