Unlocking the Mysteries

Together, we will unravel the enigmatic mysteries that shroud eclipses and omens, seeking to understand their profound significance in our lives.

 What do they reveal about our interconnectedness with the cosmos? 

What messages do they carry for our journey through existence?

Exploring the Essence of Time:
Time, often perceived as vast and infinite, is a focal point of contemplation. Through introspection, we question its nature and our relationship to it.

Is time merely a construct, or does it hold deeper truths about our existence? By understanding time, we uncover the essence of our being and master the art of living.


A Ceremonial Journey. Each talk within our event is not merely a discussion but a sacred ceremony.

We will open the space with Sacred Rituals to give tribute to the four cardinal directions and the elements that sustain our existence. As we express gratitude for the uniqueness of our lives and the blessings of each day, we invite you to join us in this transformative journey of self-discovery.

Join Us!!!

We eagerly anticipate your presence as we embark on this enlightening journey together. Let us delve into the depths of existence, unlocking the secrets of the cosmos and discovering the true essence of our being.
