Prophecies of Change
Understanding The Times We Live In
with
John Van Auken
Longtime staff member, speaker and a director
at the A.R.E. in Virginia Beach
May 25-27, 2012
St. Lawrence College,
Kingston, Ontario
Humanity and the planet are experiencing many profound changes, and even more profound changes are coming. Many prophecies point to our current time as one of major change — from 534 B.C., when the angel Gabriel first told the prophet Daniel there is a time set for the end of this age, to the Edgar Cayce statement that now is the time which the Archangel Gabriel spoke of, to the Mayan prophecies of 2012 and the end of time. Our planet will change. Our bodies will change. The people of the earth will be changed. A new world is going to begin, transforming us for the long awaited new age.
John Van Auken, author and researcher of such prophecies, will present an in-depth look at what has been predicted for our times and why change must occur. His presentation will include the prophecies of the Bible, the Archangel Gabriel, Jesus, the Book of Revelation, Ancient Egypt, Nostradamus, Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the modern seer, Edgar Cayce. He will explore the Mayan prophecies for 2012 and the meaning of this important date to our spiritual destiny. John will also use star maps, indicating the movement of the sun through the ages and where it is now. He will present metaphysical changes of the planet and our bodies, social and political changes in many nations, and religious changes that will yield a new worldview of life’s purpose and God’s role for us. He will also address the latest issues among Jews, Christians, and Muslims, as well as the future of the major religions.
Despite the magnitude of some of the changes John will be discussing, he presents a very positive approach, following the spirit of Jesus’ analogy that the changes are simply the “birth pains” of a new age of enlightenment, global community, closer harmony with nature, and a more cosmic consciousness of Universal Forces.

2012 Conference Workshops
Pierre Beaudoin
Laughter Yoga with Pierre Beaudoin
Laughing is one of the best natural “medicines” known. It helps us rediscover the heart of our inner child! Laughing activates many healing systems of the body and is good for the immune, cardiac, respiratory and digestive systems. This workshop will cover the history and objectives of Laughter Yoga and will provide you with the opportunity to experiment with some of the laughter yoga exercises. Pierre has been a student of the Cayce material for over 30 years; for the last seven years he has been involved in laughter yoga activities and he is currently animator of the Sherbrooke (Québec) Laughter Club.
Robyn Marie Butt
The Miracles of Christmas According to Edgar Cayce with Robyn Marie Butt
In our annual race to shop, bake, decorate and party, the meaning of Christmas often goes missing. Lost also is the Christmas Story itself. And what is that story? An innocent girl, an angel visitation, an immaculate conception? The reluctant groom, the flurried marriage, the long journey, the birth in a stable? Christmas makes great fairytale and inspiring metaphor. But which parts of the story are actually real, and is there more to the tale than we’ve heard? Learn the startling and inspiring truth about Christmas as reported by Edgar Cayce’s Source.
Kathie Caple
Intuitive Yoga
A gentle exploration of the deeper movements in the body, engaging the mind to be very present as we seek to soften and open. Loving awareness and acceptance of the body strengthens the body-mind-spirit connection. Information from the Cayce readings informs us as we begin to activate the chakras with movement, breath and intention. Bring a yoga mat and/or blanket and a cushion if needed.
Al Conrad
Practice is Over: Manifestation in Turbulent Times with Allen Conrad
We’re in the midst of a long-prophesied shift in human and planetary consciousness; something we’ve chosen to witness and to be part of. Like a boat navigating stormy weather, it is important that we apply the tools and techniques of manifestation to guide ourselves smoothly through this transition. This workshop explores key aspects of the Great Shift and the manifestation process that we need to know now, with a special focus on the importance and use of Ideals.
Riding the Wave: Spirituality During the Great Shift with Allen Conrad
If we are to help the planetary consciousness and humanity to reach their full potential through the Great Shift, it is important that each of us develop our personal sense of spiritual mastery. This workshop provides some background to the multidimensional context of the Great Shift and outlines a seven-step process to awaken the spiritual master within us.
Gerard Cormier
Hands-on Introduction to Tai Ji Qi Gong and Microcosmic Orbit Meditation with Gerard Cormier
Tai Ji Qi Gong (pronounced “Tai Chi Chi Kung” and meaning “Grand Ultimate Energy Practice”) is an ancient Chinese healing and “soft” martial art form which consists of a sequence of gentle yet effective physical movements. This is combined with mental focus and correct breathing to guide the Chi life force energy through our body’s energy centers or chakras. It is designed to integrate our body, mind and spirit; and to unite all three with the natural life force of the universe.
Irma Haggith
Taking Back Your Power with The Labyrinth with Irma Haggith
This is the year to be walking your path, living, and breathing your power. The Labyrinth provides the perfect vessel to explore this. Without judgement, without pressure of any kind the Labyrinth gives us space to go inside and listen. Peace and calm are the usual result of walking the Labyrinth, whether you walk with your feet or your hands. In this workshop we will discuss how and what takes away, or how we give away our power. This may be something from our past, or something right here and now. After the discussion we will walk the Labyrinth with the intention of taking back our power. This will be symbolic in a very profound way.
Kim Irvine-Albano
Channelling Your Higher Self with Kim Irvine-Albano
In this experiential workshop, participants will use guided meditation and psychodrama, an action-based group activity, to connect or reconnect to their higher selves. This workshop draws from Dr. Henry Reed’s book, Edgar Cayce on Channelling our Higher Selves.
Lori Jensen
A Practical Guide to Spiritual Numerology with Lori Jensen
Numerology is perhaps one of the least explored sciences and tools for spiritual enlightenment described in the Edgar Cayce readings. While everything in the universe has a numerical vibration, numerology can be used as a very practical tool to help us understand our life lessons, talents, and soul’s purpose. Numerology can also help us to time the rhythms of our life experiences, understand relationships, and highlight areas of harmony and personal growth. This workshop will leave you with a greater understanding of your life’s purpose, self image, and deepest heart’s desires as well as further insight to the karmic lessons that give direction to your soul’s journey.
Bob Johnstone & Peter Kendall
Psychic Butterfly Art with Bob Johnstone and Peter Kendall
“Psychic Butterfly Art” is a transformational tool in which, after you share a sacred meditation time together, Reverend Bob and his sidekick Peter Kendall ask you to select a variety of paints. 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 Butterfly (or Animal as sometimes may be the case) 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 so we might see a comparison to this year’s work.
Thomson Lawrie
Cayce Dream Circle with Thomson Lawrie
The Cayce readings contain over 700 dream interpretations and offer a blueprint for understanding our own dreams. Join the circle and revisit your dreams or offer your interpretations within our group. We will be looking at our own dreams as well as examples of dream interpretations from the Cayce readings and A.R.E. dream forums. We will end our session with a guided meditative dream reentry, traveling back into a dream using shamanic drumming to align ourselves with our subconscious minds to ask new questions of our dream and dream characters.
Wendy Oke
Alma Rumball’s Warnings of a Great Leavening Time and New Age of Light with Wendy Oke
New unseen Alma imagery and Atlantean writings weave the themes of 2012, Mayan prophecies, Year of the Dragon, and Atlantis into Edgar Cayce’s warnings about the End Times, possible earth changes and a New Age to come. Alma’s images of heaven and messages of peace may offer us a blueprint for living, plus a warning that if we do not change our ways, our fate could be similar to that of the lost civilization of Atlantis. Gregg Braden’s Fractal Time is explained, and offers a “To Do” list at this crucial time. A channeled audio recording of the Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull endorsing the importance of the Alma drawings and linking to Atlantis is of particular interest.
Jinna van Vliet
Healing and Preparing the Body Layers for Enlightenment
with Jinna van Vliet
This session is a hands-on session where we will learn to utilize more intense healing tools that will be and are of very great importance to our well-being this year. 2012 is energetically a very challenging year for many of us and we are all in need of a more focused deep healing within all of our body layers, the physical, mental, emotional and Spiritual.
