SUMMARY:A Way of Tea Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:  \nPeace Awareness: A Way of Tea Ceremony is an intimate\, two-hour tea ceremony designed to gently guide you into a state of inner calm. Limited to just six participants\, this immersive gathering invites you to slow down\, reconnect with yourself\, and experience the restorative power of presence. \nYou’ll be served three artisanal\, small-batch teas—each prepared in harmony with the traditions of its culture—along with a healthy\, handcrafted sweet treat. As you sit with tea\, breath\, stillness\, and intentional space\, you’ll discover how simple rituals can shift your energy and open your heart. \nWhy Tea? The Alchemy of Beauty & Being\nTea has a quiet magic. A tea experience has a way of softening us—opening a doorway to beauty\, clarity\, and connection with our true Self. “Beauty” and “beatify\,” meaning to bless\, share the same root. In this ceremony\, we create space for those blessings to arise naturally\, reminding us that we’re already supported\, already guided\, and already held. \nA Space to Reflect\, Share & Receive\nThe gathering flows between moments of soft contemplation and gentle conversation. It’s often said that when people come together for tea\, good things happen. \nJoin us and experience a sense of pronoia—the feeling that the universe is quietly conspiring in your favor.\nIf you prefer a caffeine-free option\, we also offer a curated selection of organic flower tisanes\, a vibrant and delicious herbal alternative. \nYour Tea Guide\nYour tea master\, Paul Kaye\, has spent decades exploring tea culture\, meditation\, tai chi\, qigong\, and sound healing. Paul also leads PAL&G’s Sound Bath sessions\, Urban Retreats\, and our Meditation\, Movement & Sound evenings. His approach blends ancient wisdom with modern mindfulness\, creating a grounding\, welcoming experience for all. \nDate and Time: January 25\, 2026\n1:30 pm -3:30 pm PT\, Sunday (Los Angeles\, CA) \nEvent Location: Peace Awareness Labyrinth & Gardens\n3500 W Adams Blvd. Los Angeles\, CA 90018 \nParticipate In-Person\nTuition: $40.00\nRegistration: Required. (no tickets sold at the door)\nQuestions About This Event? Email registrar@msia.org or call +1 (323) 737-4055 \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Paths of the Heart: Kabbalah and Sufi Mysticism
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nNo one who has experienced Baraka\, the divine essence\, and maintained a consciousness that is open to the flow of Baraka will feel the negativity of this planet to any great extent. As long as you’re open\, letting the love flow and directing your Light out\, you are receiving and giving of Baraka\, the Holy Spirit\, the Light and Sound. You are an instrument of Light. The Spirit uses you to bring Light into this physical realm\, and it radiates from you to all others on this level. \nYou receive Baraka\, and you\, in turn\, extend Baraka to all you meet. You lift others by your presence and by your Light. No matter what they say or do\, no matter what happens\, you still function as a channel for the Spirit. John-Roger\, DSS \nWhy This Course? \nStep inside the living mystery of the spiritual heart with Paths of the Heart: Kabbalah and Sufi Mysticism\, an immersive nine-week journey into the wisdom traditions that have shaped spiritual seekers for centuries. This course opens the threshold between two luminous worlds – Kabbalah and Sufi philosophy—exploring how the science of the heart leads to a direct experience of Spirit and ongoing transformation.​ \nWe will explore the Kabbalah’s Shekinah and the Sufi’s Baraka. Shekinhah grounds the Kabbalistic side of the journey as a lived experience rather than just a word or concept. Shekinhah is the indwelling Presence\, the feminine radiance of the Divine\, the quiet glow that settles when we make space for holiness. The Tree of Life comes alive moving from a diagram into a dwelling place; an encounter with the nearness of God\, and the way Presence rests as loving\, luminosity\, and a call to wholeness. \nBaraka is the blessing-force\, the grace-current that flows through saints\, guides\, moments\, and places. It embodies the Sufi sense of transmission\, intimacy\, and the heart’s awakening through touch\, gaze\, remembrance\, and surrender. It becomes a lived circulation of grace that can be tasted\, felt\, and invited. \nTogether\, these two currents form a bridge: Shekinah as the indwelling Light\, Baraka as the flowing Blessing. One descends into us and the other moves through us. Their meeting point is exactly where this class is headed – into the spiritual heart as a sanctuary and conduit. \nEach session traces a path from the classic maps of inner development—Kabbalah’s Tree of Life and Sufi’s subtle centers—toward the ultimate mystery. We will merge these teachings with that of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness by way of Hasidic stories\, Sufi poetry\, and guided contemplative exercises. Participants will gain insight and experience into what the mystics have taught through the ages – mystical union; communion with the Beloved. \nThe class provides a welcoming space for both experienced practitioners and those newly drawn to the mystical way. Throughout\, gentle integration of Christian and Eastern perspectives will highlight the heart’s universal language\, revealing echoes of abiding communion and bhakti devotion. By the end of this course\, each participant will possess practical skills\, inner maps\, and a shared experience to anchor an ongoing transformation and a deeper living from the heart.​ \nJoin a dedicated and loving community in an atmosphere of safety\, depth\, receptivity\, and celebration\, where we will weave together ancient wisdom with contemporary practice. Let’s allow the divine Light of our heart wisdom to illuminate our path\, offering healing\, clarity\, and the joy of walking together in Oneness in the blessing and energy of Baraka. \nPaths of the Heart: Kabbalah and Sufi Mysticism is a 9-week journey designed to help you grow\, heal\, and awaken to your true potential. \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s Included: \nLive Classes on Zoom: Mondays from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm PT (recordings available for a full year).\nSelf-Paced Option: Revisit lessons anytime to fit your schedule.\nPractical Tools & Techniques: Learn how to integrate spiritual principles into daily life.\nGuidance from Experts: Paul Kaye will facilitate these spiritual teachings. One class will be with John Morton\, MSIA’s Spiritual Director\, who will be taking questions on the class material. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Overview: \nWeek 1: January 19\, 2026 – Entering the Heart—The Call of the Mystic\nWeek 2: January 26\, 2026 –  Tree and Garden—Maps of the Heart\nWeek 3: February 2\, 2026  – Shekinah: The Indwelling Light as Companion and Guide\nWeek 4: February 16\, 2026 – Purification of the Heart—Transformation and Surrender\nWeek 5: February 23\, 2026 – Community Sharing with John Morton\nWeek 6: March 2\, 2026 – Baraka: The Grace-Current That Awakens the Heart\nWeek 7: March 16\, 2026 – Dissolving and Awakening—Mystical Union\nWeek 8: March 23\, 2026 – Living from the Heart—The Dance of Devotion\nWeek 9: March 30\, 2026 – Embodied Presence\, Integration\, and the Ever-Open Path \nWhat Makes This Course Unique? \n\nAccessible to All: No prior experience or spiritual background is required.\nPractical Insights: Transform theory into action with tools you can use daily.\nFlexible Learning: Join live or watch recordings on your own time.\n\nFacilitated by Paul Kaye  \n\n\n\nTuition: $200\nQuestions? Email Paul Kaye at paulkaye@msia.org \n\n\n\nRegister Here \n\nCancellation Policy: All paid tuition is nonrefundable.
