Power of the Heart: Imagination, Power & Love
8:00am – 9:00pm
JOIN THREE EXPERTS TO EXPLORE THE POWER OF HEART IN A ONE DAY MINI RETREAT IN THE HEART OF MANHATTAN
Overview
The intimate connection between love and power is encapsulated in the phrase "Love Power." As the greatest life force known on earth, King Solomon states in the Song of Songs that "Love is strong as death." Known as the intelligence of the heart, the spiritual practice of imagery unites power and love. Spend the day with three eminent teachers to explore this love power whereby, as Jimi Hendrix scribed, the "power of love overcomes the love of power" and experience greater awareness, freedom and joy.
GERALD EPSTEIN, MD – Imagination: The Spiritual Science of Love Power
Access your inner source of wisdom and discover the love residing in the depths of your heart through the process of mental imagery. The heart, the seat of love, develops into the seat of intuitive intelligence. Love and intuition facilitate increased awareness, self knowledge and connection to higher Self.
ELIZABETH A. M. BARRETT, R.N, PH.D. – Power: Is It REALLY What You Think It Is?
Power is the capacity to participate knowingly in change through being aware, making choices, feeling free to act on our intentions, and involving ourselves in creating change. We have the option to turn off the hardened heart of power–as–control and turn on power–as–freedom that flows from an imaginative, loving heart.
HENRY GRAYSON – Love: Our Most Powerful Force
Love is often thought to be an insignificant therapeutic tool in dealing with life’s problems. Yet, research shows it makes muscles stronger, the heart healthier, and the brain work more effectively; it clearly improves relationships and reaches out through the non–local mind to affect countless numbers of others about us. Why then is love our greatest fear?

MEDITATIONS ON THE TAROT: A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY INTO HERMETICISM, KABBALAH AND WESTERN WISDOM
In this course, a leading scholar of Western esotericism will explore with us the synthesis of Kabbalistic and Hermetic ideas and practices found in the remarkable and mysterious work Meditations on the Tarot, published anonymously in 1985 and considered by many to be one of the greatest works of spiritual writing ever penned. In this course we will explore in depth four (one each week) of the 22 major arcana that this great book investigates – the High Priestess, the Lovers, Temperance and the Fool. The themes we will delve into will include: converting the will to power to the will to love, becoming a lover of Truth ⁄ Reality, understanding and developing a relationship with the higher angelic realms, non–attachment, and key Western esoteric practices that open the door to spiritual reality. Come discover the depth of spiritual understanding and knowledge to be found in this text, and how to apply its wisdom in our efforts to become more integrated and illuminated human beings.

KABBALAH FOR INNER PEACE: IMAGERY & INSIGHTS TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH YOUR DAY
Dr. Epstein’s latest book Kabbalah for Inner Peace, presents 60 imagery exercises that span 24 hours – from waking up and greeting the morning, to the aches and pains of daily life to dealing with insomnia at night. He also includes many overall whole life exercises such as: confronting the inner terrorists (our habitual thought patterns that keep us stuck either in the past or worried about the future); overcoming indecisiveness; burying the past; and awakening to spirit & joining the divine.
This beautiful book emphasizes balance and patience; it even promotes releasing goal–setting and to set intentions instead. Above all, every page advocates consciously making wise choices, away from the confines of time and back to the place where freedom and peace exist: now.
Dr. Gerald Epstein is an expert in the field of mental imagery and integrative medicine. He wrote the groundbreaking Healing Visualizations: Creating Health through Imagery, which established him as one of the foremost authorities on Western Spiritual healing.

The Buried Gift: Unearthing the Secret Path of Prophetic Spirituality
The spiritual teachings of the ancient Israelite prophets were passed down to their followers through the school of the Sons of the Prophets. The central practice was imaginal (or visionary) and included related practices of dream reading, face reading and the development of intuition. The job of the prophet was to bring God’s messages and wisdom to us on earth. Although prophets are no longer among us, the teaching of this wisdom tradition still exists. Dr. Epstein graduated from such a school, in Jerusalem, under the direction and mentoring of his teacher of blessed memory, Mme. Colette Aboulker–Muscat. Join Dr. Epstein in this 3 ⁄ 4 session program as he shares this secret path to become your own inner prophet.
Dr. Gerald Epstein is an internationally known teacher of Western Spirituality and its applied therapeutics for over 35 years. His latest publication is an audio set Emotional Mastery: A Program of Life Transformation through Higher Consciousness.
