Study Group Offerings

In addition to the weekend courses and the email correspondence courses, SEQL also offers Study Groups at various times during the day and in the evening. The prerequisite for all Study Groups is grounding in the Ageless Wisdom acquired through study with another esoteric school or independent study. Please email the Lead in the Study Group of your interest to determine if the group is a good fit for you.

As with all courses in the 2022/23 Year, fees have been waived. All courses and study groups are being offered free of charge.

NEW! Reappearance of the Christ ~ in person group

In considering the Conclave of the Spiritual Hierarchy in 2025, the plan is to shine the light on the wisdom made available to humanity from the Masters through the writings of Alice Bailey and others.  The idea is to tread this path up to 2025 (and beyond as determined by the group.

 “The development of spiritual recognition is the great need today in preparation for the reappearance of the Christ…..He will come to restore man’s faith in the Father’s love, in the fact of the livingness of the Christ, and in the close, subjective and unbreakable relationship of all people everywhere”.  ROC page 19

There are three seats remaining to be filled; please join us for this educational and meditative experience through readings and discussions.

First Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM Pacific until complete, beginning Tuesday, October 4th

NEW – The Path of Initiation

“Humanity is taking another evolutionary step into a new kingdom, the Spiritual Kingdom of Souls.  Already there are many who have taken the initial step.  They are those who are consciously aware of themselves as Souls, and as such they work in the world to accomplish their purpose.  They seek to aid man in his struggle to expand his consciousness of self, to consciousness of Soul. “

Agni Yoga Reading Groups: 

Description:  Agni Yoga is “The Path to mergence with Divine Fire.” It builds on Raja Yoga, the Yoga of the Mind.  It is the path to the synthesis of our being and our divine essence of fire, which allows us to identify with all cosmos.  Most fundamentally, Agni Yoga is a practice aimed at expressing and revealing divinity.  Its achievements must be attained through everyday life’s thoughts and actions.  It is a baptism of fire and its most significant features are cosmism, universalism and the education of the Heart as a gateway to the world of Agni, to Divinity.

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras:  evening meetings

Lead:  Sue Norman  sulusue48@gmail.com

Text: Light of the Soul by AA Bailey

Open to:  Those who have taken the SEQL Foundation Course.

Schedule:  2nd and 4th Wednesday evenings of each month, 7:00-9:00 PM Pacific

Location:  Zoom

Description:  The Light of the Soul simply states in a number of sutras how we can begin to control our physical, emotional and mental bodies. The commentaries explain more clearly the statement of each sutra and give useful suggestions on how to tackle our unruly instrument. The ways on how to control the physical body and the emotional body are clearly laid out. As we follow along this roadmap it will eventually lead us to control of the mind and its illumination by the soul. The Yoga Sutras show us the way and the means through which we can allow the light of our soul to shine more brightly through its form and thus become better servers for humanity and the spiritual hierarchy. They are step by step instructions towards expansion of consciousness and eventual enlightenment.

Exploring Consciousness through Martin Muller’s Work – Ontological Energy Training 

These two study groups will facilitate increased awareness, sensitivity and knowledge of the qualities and functions of the energies which impact humanity so that we can live more deliberately and more effectively.  “Ontology” is the study of the nature of ‘being.’
Open to anyone with a grounding in esoteric studies.

Vision:  a world where people are more aware of the energetic interconnectedness with others and the planet.

Mission:  to refine our registration and transmission of higher energies to enhance our contribution to Humanity and the planet.

Objectives:  to explore energy exercises that deepen our experience of the energy centres in our own energy fields as we enhance our awareness of ‘living as Soul.’ We will also practise ‘seeing’ others as Soul. Our focus will be to ‘come from the heart’ in all we do.
