This presentation will provide a deep experience of how we can strengthen our inner awareness so that we can discern what is good and valuable in the emerging world and have the power to bring that into being. The discussion will connect the self to its inner peace and by listening to God will empower individuals to act in accordance with the truth of their spiritual path.

In nineteenth century America, New Thought ideas began to stretch minds and inspire souls. Prominent among those new thinkers were women who refused to be shackled in the chains of subordination. These women rebelled against the old religious traditions that emphasized creeds and dogmas above practical demonstration. They dropped the pots and pans and stormed out of the kitchens and appeared on public platforms, preaching, teaching and healing. They brought a new message to a new world and neither they nor the world from which they came would ever again be the same. This program is part of a series organized by the Association for Global New Thought (AGNT).
