SUMMARY:Institute for Individual World Peace (IIWP)
DESCRIPTION:  \nBreathe in peace. As tensions and worries drop away\, peace starts radiating through your body. Peace is very much alive and present. As you drop the pressures of your life\, you’ll find that peace is present\, beyond the distractions. It was always there. -John-Roger\, DSS  \nPeace is a choice. We gather\, as those who choose peace\, to let go of what blocks us from experiencing the peace that is our nature. When we get in touch with that inner peace\, we look at ways to expand that experience inwardly and extend it out as a blessing to this planet. Through our awareness of peace\, we can become a walking blessing\, living from day to day\, as witnesses to the peace that is always present. \nMany people are becoming aware of a fervent yearning for peace. We have the ability to make peace happen. We can put our focus\, attention and loving into declaring peace instead of war with every choice we make. Do this\, one small step at a time\, one moment at a time. -John-Roger\, DSS \n\nThis event is in person and online in English with simultaneous Spanish translation \nDate and Time: June 24\, 2026\n4:00 pm – 6:00 pm PT\, Wednesday (Los Angeles\, CA) \nLocation: Peace Awareness Labyrinth & Gardens\n3500 West Adams Blvd.\, Los Angeles\, CA 90018 \nParticipate In-Person\nIn-Person Tuition: Complimentary\nIn-Person Registration: Registration is required. \nRegister Here to participate in Person \nHere are important details for in-person attendance: \n– Come early and take advantage of the limited parking on the grounds.

SUMMARY:HeartFelt Foundation shares an experience of Divine Silence
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nEntering the Presence of Divine Silence \n Look and realize peace. See it. Know it. Feel it tangibly\, kinesthetically. Where there is clamor\, where there is noise\, where there is distance away from the peace\, be still. The quality of this peace has a quiet in it that resonates to all things and all people. So\, we are in communion in the stillness. \nThe silence has a way of speaking all of our names\, to realize we are all loved. We are all adored. We are all family together. John Morton \nYou are warmly invited to Entering the Presence of Divine Silence—a heartfelt gathering of friends and gifted presenters inspired by the legacy of John-Roger. \nTogether\, we explore stillness\, reflection\, deep listening\, and meaningful connection. Through 90-minute interactive sessions\, a gentle pathway opens—revealing the quiet presence within each of us and the shared peace that connects us all. \nJoin for a single session or immerse yourself in the full experience. Ample breaks between presentations offer space to reflect\, integrate\, and move with ease. \nFor over 50 years\, John-Roger guided others to discover the divine within and to live in greater loving\, peace\, service\, creativity\, and caring. In honor of his legacy\, organizations he founded—including the Institute for Individual & World Peace\, Heartfelt\, Insight Seminars\, and the University of Santa Monica—offer special experiential sessions throughout the gathering. \n\nWednesday: Institute for Individual & World Peace (IIWP)\nThursday: Heartfelt\, Insight\, and University of Santa Monica\n\nEach session is offered as a complimentary gift—an opportunity to pause\, reconnect\, and experience the deeper stillness already present within you. \nAs a culminating experience\, you are invited to a special 2-hour Mystical Traveler Sharing with John Morton\, who is known as the Blessings man.

SUMMARY:The Silence of God Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThe Silence of God… \nA 2-Day Workshop Invitation \n“When I am silent\, I fall into that place where everything is music.”- Rumi \nIf you know that you are one with the Source\, then you don’t feel tense or needy. You don’t feel lack or pressure. You’re poised. You’re silent. You’re peaceful. You can work harmoniously with anything that comes your way and then let go\, because you are free. – John-Roger\, D.S.S. \nOften in the midst of a calamity there is one who is silent\, who is not involved\, who is holding the energy\, the battery power to anchor for the disturbance to quiet itself. In the prayer\, “I love you\,” that is the truth. – John Morton \nYou are warmly invited into The Silence of God—a two-day immersive workshop devoted to the quiet\, living presence within. \nSilence is a sacred doorway. It is a way of connecting with the Divine\, with Spirit\, and with the truth of who we are. In silence\, we remember our oneness with God. We rediscover a peace that is not dependent on circumstances—a stillness that is steady\, spacious\, and deeply alive. \nTogether\, we will enter a gentle\, intentional space to explore and expand our awareness. Through inspired teachings\, contemplative practices\, and shared presence\, you are invited to experience your own unique relationship with the Silence of God. \nThis workshop offers: \n\nA sacred and supportive space for inner exploration\nRich inspirational material to listen to and reflect upon\nPractical methods and spiritual tools to deepen your experience\nOpportunities for discovery\, connection\, and quiet renewal\n\nAs we gather with a shared intention\, something opens.

SUMMARY:Journey to Ithaca: The Voyage Home to Our Self
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nThe greatest secret is that the journey\nis already over before it has begun.\nYou are already there.\nThat one for whom you seek is already present.\nWhy is this a secret?\nBecause so few claim it.\nDo you?\nWith your next breath?\nJohn-Roger\, DSS \n  \nWhy This Course? \nJourney to Ithaca: Our Voyage Home to Our Self is a sixteen-week experiential course that uses one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved stories — Homer’s Odyssey — as a map for the Soul’s journey home to itself. \nThe spiritual meaning of Homer’s Odyssey centers on nostos (homecoming)\, representing the Soul’s journey back to its true\, divine nature through inner transformation\, trial\, and disillusionment. It is an allegory of the human spirit navigating the chaotic sea of existence to reach inner fulfillment (Ithaca) and unity with the divine\, guided by wisdom (Athena). In other words\, it is a story for our times! \nHome is neither here nor there.\nHome is within you\,\nor home is nowhere at all.\nHerman Hesse \nHomer’s Odyssey is a profound map of inner transformation: from the first stirring that something is missing\, through encounters with beauty and danger\, diving into the depths of our existence\, the stripping away of everything false\, and the return home to who we truly are. \nEach week\, we will follow a specific episode from Homer’s epic and explore its spiritual underpinnings through the wisdom of John-Roger’s teachings\, and how the Sound Current weaves into the story. We’ll be including modern cultural touchstones on the story\, such as the movie\, O Brother\, Where Art Thou; James Joyce’s novel\, Ulysses; Depth Psychology; all of which re‑imagine the story’s profound themes in fresh\, relatable\, and meaningful ways. \nWe shall not cease from exploration\nAnd the end of all our exploring\nWill be to arrive where we started\nAnd know the place for the first time.\nT.S. Eliot\, Four Quartets \nWe’ll uncover how Odysseus’s trials are blueprints for our own lives. From the wisdom of Athena to the transformative encounters with Circe\, Calypso\, and the Sirens\, we’ll explore how these figures serve as catalysts for change\, navigating us through the obstacles that stand between us and our true Self. This ancient rhythm of departure\, reconciliation with the unconscious\, and return is more than just a story\, it is a mirror of life’s journey every one of us must take. \nThis course is for anyone who senses that something essential is calling them home at a deeper level and is ready to set out on this beautiful adventure in consciousness with fresh eyes. No prior knowledge of Homer\, Joyce\, or spiritual practice is required. The course provides experiential practices designed for each stage of the journey with guided meditations\, inner listening exercises\, journaling\, and sharing with a community of fellow travelers. The Odyssey reminds us that no one makes this journey alone and that our destiny is guided\, at every moment\, by the Divine. \nKeep Ithaka always in your mind.\nArriving there is what you’re destined for.\n–\nAnd if you find her poor\, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.\nWise as you will have become\, so full of experience\,\nyou’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.\nC.

It’s a most beautiful sound. These sounds have all been described in mythologies. In the travels of Ulysses (Odysseus)\, there were references made to describing these sounds. For example\, the Sirens\, whose voices were so magnificently beautiful they became irresistible as though nothing else could matter. So the allegories of the sound of God\, and the sound that comes from heaven\, are in all these types of writing.\nJohn-Roger\, DSS

SUMMARY:Journey to Ithaca: The Voyage Home to Our Self
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nThe greatest secret is that the journey\nis already over before it has begun.\nYou are already there.\nThat one for whom you seek is already present.\nWhy is this a secret?\nBecause so few claim it.\nDo you?\nWith your next breath?\nJohn-Roger\, DSS \n  \nWhy This Course? \nJourney to Ithaca: Our Voyage Home to Our Self is a sixteen-week experiential course that uses one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved stories — Homer’s Odyssey — as a map for the Soul’s journey home to itself. \nThe spiritual meaning of Homer’s Odyssey centers on nostos (homecoming)\, representing the Soul’s journey back to its true\, divine nature through inner transformation\, trial\, and disillusionment. It is an allegory of the human spirit navigating the chaotic sea of existence to reach inner fulfillment (Ithaca) and unity with the divine\, guided by wisdom (Athena). In other words\, it is a story for our times! \nHome is neither here nor there.\nHome is within you\,\nor home is nowhere at all.\nHerman Hesse \nHomer’s Odyssey is a profound map of inner transformation: from the first stirring that something is missing\, through encounters with beauty and danger\, diving into the depths of our existence\, the stripping away of everything false\, and the return home to who we truly are. \nEach week\, we will follow a specific episode from Homer’s epic and explore its spiritual underpinnings through the wisdom of John-Roger’s teachings\, and how the Sound Current weaves into the story. We’ll be including modern cultural touchstones on the story\, such as the movie\, O Brother\, Where Art Thou; James Joyce’s novel\, Ulysses; Depth Psychology; all of which re‑imagine the story’s profound themes in fresh\, relatable\, and meaningful ways. \nWe shall not cease from exploration\nAnd the end of all our exploring\nWill be to arrive where we started\nAnd know the place for the first time.\nT.S. Eliot\, Four Quartets \nWe’ll uncover how Odysseus’s trials are blueprints for our own lives. From the wisdom of Athena to the transformative encounters with Circe\, Calypso\, and the Sirens\, we’ll explore how these figures serve as catalysts for change\, navigating us through the obstacles that stand between us and our true Self. This ancient rhythm of departure\, reconciliation with the unconscious\, and return is more than just a story\, it is a mirror of life’s journey every one of us must take. \nThis course is for anyone who senses that something essential is calling them home at a deeper level and is ready to set out on this beautiful adventure in consciousness with fresh eyes. No prior knowledge of Homer\, Joyce\, or spiritual practice is required. The course provides experiential practices designed for each stage of the journey with guided meditations\, inner listening exercises\, journaling\, and sharing with a community of fellow travelers. The Odyssey reminds us that no one makes this journey alone and that our destiny is guided\, at every moment\, by the Divine. \nKeep Ithaka always in your mind.\nArriving there is what you’re destined for.\n–\nAnd if you find her poor\, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.\nWise as you will have become\, so full of experience\,\nyou’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.\nC.

SUMMARY:Peace Awareness: A Way of Tea Ceremony with Paul Kaye
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: July 22\, 2026\n3:00 pm – 5:00 pm PT\, Wednesday (Los Angeles\, CA) \nEvent Location: Peace Awareness Labyrinth & Gardens\n3500 W Adams Blvd. Los Angeles\, CA 90018 \nParticipate In-Person\nTuition: $40.00 (Includes a variety of tea tastings and cookies )\nRegistration: Required.

SUMMARY:Journey to Ithaca: The Voyage Home to Our Self
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nThe greatest secret is that the journey\nis already over before it has begun.\nYou are already there.\nThat one for whom you seek is already present.\nWhy is this a secret?\nBecause so few claim it.\nDo you?\nWith your next breath?\nJohn-Roger\, DSS \n  \nWhy This Course? \nJourney to Ithaca: Our Voyage Home to Our Self is a sixteen-week experiential course that uses one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved stories — Homer’s Odyssey — as a map for the Soul’s journey home to itself. \nThe spiritual meaning of Homer’s Odyssey centers on nostos (homecoming)\, representing the Soul’s journey back to its true\, divine nature through inner transformation\, trial\, and disillusionment. It is an allegory of the human spirit navigating the chaotic sea of existence to reach inner fulfillment (Ithaca) and unity with the divine\, guided by wisdom (Athena). In other words\, it is a story for our times! \nHome is neither here nor there.\nHome is within you\,\nor home is nowhere at all.\nHerman Hesse \nHomer’s Odyssey is a profound map of inner transformation: from the first stirring that something is missing\, through encounters with beauty and danger\, diving into the depths of our existence\, the stripping away of everything false\, and the return home to who we truly are. \nEach week\, we will follow a specific episode from Homer’s epic and explore its spiritual underpinnings through the wisdom of John-Roger’s teachings\, and how the Sound Current weaves into the story. We’ll be including modern cultural touchstones on the story\, such as the movie\, O Brother\, Where Art Thou; James Joyce’s novel\, Ulysses; Depth Psychology; all of which re‑imagine the story’s profound themes in fresh\, relatable\, and meaningful ways. \nWe shall not cease from exploration\nAnd the end of all our exploring\nWill be to arrive where we started\nAnd know the place for the first time.\nT.S. Eliot\, Four Quartets \nWe’ll uncover how Odysseus’s trials are blueprints for our own lives. From the wisdom of Athena to the transformative encounters with Circe\, Calypso\, and the Sirens\, we’ll explore how these figures serve as catalysts for change\, navigating us through the obstacles that stand between us and our true Self. This ancient rhythm of departure\, reconciliation with the unconscious\, and return is more than just a story\, it is a mirror of life’s journey every one of us must take. \nThis course is for anyone who senses that something essential is calling them home at a deeper level and is ready to set out on this beautiful adventure in consciousness with fresh eyes. No prior knowledge of Homer\, Joyce\, or spiritual practice is required. The course provides experiential practices designed for each stage of the journey with guided meditations\, inner listening exercises\, journaling\, and sharing with a community of fellow travelers. The Odyssey reminds us that no one makes this journey alone and that our destiny is guided\, at every moment\, by the Divine. \nKeep Ithaka always in your mind.\nArriving there is what you’re destined for.\n–\nAnd if you find her poor\, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.\nWise as you will have become\, so full of experience\,\nyou’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.\nC.

SUMMARY:Peace Awareness: A Way of Tea Ceremony with Paul Kaye
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: August 5\, 2026\n3:00 pm – 5:00 pm PT\, Wednesday (Los Angeles\, CA) \nEvent Location: Peace Awareness Labyrinth & Gardens\n3500 W Adams Blvd. Los Angeles\, CA 90018 \nParticipate In-Person\nTuition: $40.00 (Includes a variety of tea tastings and cookies )\nRegistration: Required.

SUMMARY:Journey to Ithaca: The Voyage Home to Our Self
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nThe greatest secret is that the journey\nis already over before it has begun.\nYou are already there.\nThat one for whom you seek is already present.\nWhy is this a secret?\nBecause so few claim it.\nDo you?\nWith your next breath?\nJohn-Roger\, DSS \n  \nWhy This Course? \nJourney to Ithaca: Our Voyage Home to Our Self is a sixteen-week experiential course that uses one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved stories — Homer’s Odyssey — as a map for the Soul’s journey home to itself. \nThe spiritual meaning of Homer’s Odyssey centers on nostos (homecoming)\, representing the Soul’s journey back to its true\, divine nature through inner transformation\, trial\, and disillusionment. It is an allegory of the human spirit navigating the chaotic sea of existence to reach inner fulfillment (Ithaca) and unity with the divine\, guided by wisdom (Athena). In other words\, it is a story for our times! \nHome is neither here nor there.\nHome is within you\,\nor home is nowhere at all.\nHerman Hesse \nHomer’s Odyssey is a profound map of inner transformation: from the first stirring that something is missing\, through encounters with beauty and danger\, diving into the depths of our existence\, the stripping away of everything false\, and the return home to who we truly are. \nEach week\, we will follow a specific episode from Homer’s epic and explore its spiritual underpinnings through the wisdom of John-Roger’s teachings\, and how the Sound Current weaves into the story. We’ll be including modern cultural touchstones on the story\, such as the movie\, O Brother\, Where Art Thou; James Joyce’s novel\, Ulysses; Depth Psychology; all of which re‑imagine the story’s profound themes in fresh\, relatable\, and meaningful ways. \nWe shall not cease from exploration\nAnd the end of all our exploring\nWill be to arrive where we started\nAnd know the place for the first time.\nT.S. Eliot\, Four Quartets \nWe’ll uncover how Odysseus’s trials are blueprints for our own lives. From the wisdom of Athena to the transformative encounters with Circe\, Calypso\, and the Sirens\, we’ll explore how these figures serve as catalysts for change\, navigating us through the obstacles that stand between us and our true Self. This ancient rhythm of departure\, reconciliation with the unconscious\, and return is more than just a story\, it is a mirror of life’s journey every one of us must take. \nThis course is for anyone who senses that something essential is calling them home at a deeper level and is ready to set out on this beautiful adventure in consciousness with fresh eyes. No prior knowledge of Homer\, Joyce\, or spiritual practice is required. The course provides experiential practices designed for each stage of the journey with guided meditations\, inner listening exercises\, journaling\, and sharing with a community of fellow travelers. The Odyssey reminds us that no one makes this journey alone and that our destiny is guided\, at every moment\, by the Divine. \nKeep Ithaka always in your mind.\nArriving there is what you’re destined for.\n–\nAnd if you find her poor\, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.\nWise as you will have become\, so full of experience\,\nyou’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.\nC. P. Cavafy\, Ithaka \nWhat’s Included: \n\n\n\n\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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Overview: \nWeek  1:  April 20\, 2026   –   Something Is Missing\nWeek  2:  April 27\, 2026   –   Holding On While Truth Changes Shape\nWeek  3:  May 11\, 2026     –   The Beautiful Prison\nWeek  4:  May 18\, 2026     –   The Golden Chalice\nWeek  5:  June 1\, 2026     –   Forgetting Who We Are\nWeek  6:  June 15\, 2026    –   My Name Is Nobody\nWeek  7:  June 22\, 2026    –   Within Sight of Home\nWeek  8:  July 6\, 2026     –   Younger\, Taller\, More Beautiful Than Before\nWeek  9:  July 13\, 2026    –   Community Sharing and Q&A with John Morton\nWeek 10:  July 20\, 2026    –   The Arms That Pass Through Air\nWeek 11:  July 27\, 2026    –   The Song of the Reed\nWeek 12:  August 3\, 2026   –   When Everything Is Taken\nWeek 13:  August 10\, 2026  –   The Condition Just Prior to God\nWeek 14:  August 17\, 2026  –   Weaving and Unweaving\nWeek 15:  August 24\, 2026  –   Love Knows Love\n\nWeek 16:  August 31\, 2026  –   Ithaca \n\n\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\nTuition: $300 (can be paid in two installments)\nQuestions? Email Paul Kaye at paulkaye@msia.org \nCancellation Policy: All paid tuition is nonrefundable.

It’s a most beautiful sound. These sounds have all been described in mythologies. In the travels of Ulysses (Odysseus)\, there were references made to describing these sounds. For example\, the Sirens\, whose voices were so magnificently beautiful they became irresistible as though nothing else could matter. So the allegories of the sound of God\, and the sound that comes from heaven\, are in all these types of writing.\nJohn-Roger\, DSS
