About the Speaker“Death is nothing to fear — and life without fear can be lived to the fullest.”Kimberly Clark Sharp, M.S.W. is the founder and president of the Seattle International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), the oldest and one of the largest groups of its kind in the world. A clinical social worker, she has taught at the University of Washington School of Medicine and at Seattle University. Kim’s delightfully humourous speaking style has gained her the reputation of being the “Erma Bombeck of the near death movement” — a title that was bestowed upon her by Erma Bombeck herself. Her book, After the Light, is a near-death classic, educating thousands about the near-death experience with much humor and tact, delivering — in an irresistibly humorous package — the serious message that we really do not die. It is difficult to put her book down once you begin to read. Kimberly Clark Sharp lives in Seattle, Washington, with her husband and daughter. For further information on her work, please see her website. |

CFC Youth Program — new this year!
In numerology the year 2008 is a year of “new beginnings”, and Edgar Cayce Canada was delighted to introduce a new Youth Program at the 2008 Canadian Fellowship Conference, led by Jon Shatat, E.C.C.’s Youth Program Manager. The program was been planned for ages 8 to 17. Youth under the age of 15 are required to have a parent or guardian registered at the adult conference.
Here are a few of the Youth Program features:
- An introduction to Edgar Cayce
- Spiritual-based workshops: Introduction to Meditation, Dreams, Ideals, Exploring Past Lives
- Nature exploration, sports and other outdoor activities
...and much, much more!
CFC 2008 Conference Workshops
Pierre Beaudoin
Laughing Yoga with Pierre Beaudoin
Laughing is one of the best natural “medicines” known. It’s very simple, and it is very helpful in promoting relaxation in all aspects of our lives. Edgar Cayce himself apparently had a good sense of humour! This workshop will cover the history and objectives of Laughing Yoga and will provide you with a number of helpful exercises. Pierre has been a student of the Cayce material for over 30 years; he is currently in his third year as animator of the Magog Laughter Club.
Alice Bonnefoi
Personal Relationships: Soul Mates, Twin Souls, and Soul Groups with Alice Bonnefoi
We are constantly involved in relationships of different natures, among various groups of people. According to the Cayce readings, we are attracted to individuals, groups and circumstances that allow us to meet ourselves, and at the same time grow in awareness, so that we can move from karma to grace, from separation to oneness, and from a consciousness driven by the ego to a state of divine love. In this workshop, Edgar Cayce’s past lives are used to illustrate the notions of soul mates and twin souls, and to show that many of the companions that Cayce had over time were brought back together in the 20th century to continue a work started thousands of years earlier in ancient Egypt and Persia. Alice is the International Outreach Coordinator for the A.R.E., the psychic research organization in Virginia Beach founded by Edgar Cayce in the 1930s.
Nos rapports avec autrui: Âmes-sœurs, âmes-jumelles et groupes d’âmes avec Alice Bonnefoi
Nos relations avec autrui dépendent non seulement des personnes que nous côtoyons, mais aussi des groupes au sein desquels nous évoluons. D’après les ‘lectures’ d’Edgar Cayce, nous sommes attirés par les personnes, les groupes et les circonstances qui nous offrent l’occasion de nous confronter à nous-mêmes, tout en grandissant spirituellement. Ceci nous permet de passer du karma à la grâce, de la séparation à l’unité, et d’un niveau de conscience fondé sur l’égo à l’amour divin. L’exemple des vies antérieures d’Edgar Cayce illustre les notions d’âmes-sœurs et d’âmes-jumelles, et montre que de nombreux compagnons d’Edgar Cayce au cours des siècles se sont retrouvés dans les temps modernes pour continuer une œuvre commencée des milliers d’années auparavant en ancienne Égypte et en Perse.
Sheila Butchart
Inner Joy with Sheila Butchart
May the joy in your heart be touched and renewed with each breath. This workshop will consider how to tap into this JOY, breath it, share it, and live it in all areas of your life. What joy are you afraid of? Look at what gives your friends complete joy. Come and spend some time in the energy of JOY. Sheila has been a student of the Cayce materials and A Course in Miracles for many years.
Channelling with Sheila Butchart
Learn about the angels that surround you at all times. The angels want you to be able to feel, hear and listen to their amazing messages. Learn how our loved ones who have passed over are honoured and excited to convey a message of pure Love to us. I feel blessed to be a channel of their Light and Love.
Robin Buttrell
Karma and the Prodigal Son Revisited with Robyn Buttrell
Learn how the most helpful spiritual concept you can master has become the most misunderstood. Karma is neither punishment nor retribution, nor is it immutable. A lifelong member of the United Church of Canada, psychic counsellor Robyn Buttrell received her professional training within the Cayce study group format under the rigorous guidance of her spiritual teacher. Here, with reference to Christ’s own teachings, Robyn will discuss the universal law of karma in simple, practical terms...debunking a few myths around its operation that tend to make us all complacent — or mistaken. Why settle for anything less than gratitude or joy? Robyn has a special interest in the theological bridges between Christianity and New Age practice, and her newest book, The Dance of Yeshu—Christ in a Psychic World, is ready for publication.
Kathie Caple
Introduction to the Human Energy Field with Kathie Caple
Kathie is a graduate of the Body & Soul School of Energy Therapy, based on Barbara Brennan’s healing techniques, and she has studied and practiced energy work for the last ten years. Her study of energy therapy confirms what she has learned in the Cayce material: we are beings of light and love, learning to share that love; we are so much more than our bodies. Kathie also manages Edgar Cayce Canada’s Prayer Circle network. In this workshop, participants will explore the seven major chakras as well as several of the subtle energy bodies.
Karen Eardley
Using Past Life Regression as a Tool for Growth with Karen Eardley
Karen will guide you to a previous lifetime using a gentle and deep hypnotic process. From the place of landing, you will then explore where you are, who you are and what is happening around you, progressing to significant life events throughout that existence. After having experienced the event of passing, you will extract wisdom from that life conducive to healing, bringing advice from your past life self to bear upon your present persona.
Mark Finnan
Attitudes and Emotions...Those that help, those that hinder with Mark Finnan
Positive attitudes and emotions help us heal, blossom and grow. They are essential to our health and wellbeing; these “fruits of the spirit” feed into and flow from our souls. This workshop provides an opportunity to learn how to work creatively with them. In keeping with the Cayce philosophy that “spirit is the life, mind the builder and the physical the result”, you will learn a simple technique involving attitudes and emotions that can help you heal and grow. Mark has spent over 30 years presenting the Cayce material as a writer, lecturer and actor.
Tina Heathers
A Course in Miracles — The Journey of Joy with Tina Heathers
A Course in Miracles is filled with amazing spiritual ideas, but it often seems complex and difficult to grasp. This workshop attempts to distill the concepts down to find its simple core message. We will discuss how A Course in Miracles works with the Cayce material and other metaphysical and spiritual philosophies. Tina facilitates programs for spiritual, personal, small business and corporate development. Her personal fascination with human potential has driven her to research and study many aspects of human behavior and the powers of the mind. Come discover what the Course can do for you and how you can work with this material to transform your life.
Bob Johnstone
Psychic Butterfly Art with Bob Johnstone
“Psychic Butterfly Art” is a transformational tool in which Reverend Bob asks you to select a variety of paints as you share a sacred meditation time together. The colours one chooses usually represent a deeper aspect of self, and are relevant at both the known and unknown levels of consciousness. When your painting is completed, it becomes a reference for recalling the sacred path you are on. If you attended this workshop in a previous year, Bob is asking that you bring the butterfly that you created then to the workshop this year!
Vanessa Perry
Clearlight Healing: Using Ancient and Modern Energy Techniques to Heal Yourself and Others with Vanessa Perry
Learn how to use both ancient and modern techniques, along with your own intuitive movements, to bring about rapid, pain-free healing — energetically, spiritually and physically. We will explore techniques such as holographic healing, remote viewing, body scanning, and psychic surgery which can be used for yourself and others in a variety of ways. These simple techniques can be learned quite easily and used by anyone. You are encouraged to bring water, a blanket and pillow so that you will be comfortable to experience the techniques first hand. Vanessa has been a natural clairvoyant since birth. She lives in Kingston, Ontario, where she and her partner publish Within Kingston, a bi-monthly magazine dedicated to promoting a healthy, holistic lifestyle.
David Riblet
All Healing Comes from the Heart with David Riblet
This workshop will appeal to attendees who welcome a wide-ranging, fast-moving journey through life. We will explore how diet, exercise, prayer, affirmations, meditation, creativity and play are all healing components of a heart-full creation. Relax and consider how life is intended to be. Guaranteed to be as much fun for the presenter as for the attendee. David lives in Virginia Beach, where he has worked for The Heritage store for the past 22 years.
Peter Van Dam
The Power of Healing Prayer with Peter Van Daam
The Cayce approach — 1931 to the present. Primary source material: the Healing Group and Search For God series and other readings relevant to spiritual healing. Since 1973, Peter has been instrumental in the formation of many Search for God study groups. He lives in Virginia Beach, where the A.R.E. has featured his morning lymphatic exercise program at its conferences since 2001.
The Wisdom of the Sages with Peter Van Daam
This workshop highlights the importance and significance of the three conditions or laws given in the Cayce Work Readings series for attaining the understanding of Creative Forces and enlightenment.
