What are Earthbound Spirits? Scientific, Clinical and Personal Perspectives
Around the world, there are cultures that believe a person’s spirit can be trapped on the Earth after they die. This phenomenon can be referred to as earthbound spirits. Some believe that these deceased people did not transition to the light because they either do not realize they died, had unresolved issues when they died, or a fear about what would happen to them after death.
Join us on Friday, October 28th at 11 AM for a ConnectIONS Live panel discussion exploring this fascinating topic. In this webinar, you’ll hear from Dr. Helané Wahbeh and her panel guests – Alexander Almeida, Jan Ögren, Guenet Sebsibe, and David Furlong – as they share their insights on earthbound spirits from scientific, clinical, and personal perspectives.

The summer has traditionally been thought of as a time for rest and rejuvenation, but in our busy world, time for reflection is not always the easiest to find. The great wisdom traditions teach that we have the answers within, yet how do we find them? Paradoxically it is often in community that we discover the personal answers that we are seeking.

Time to Transform Time
Marin County IONS Community Group
First Presbyterian Church at Fifth Ave & E St. San Rafael $10 donation
Do you struggle with "not enough" time to do everything?
Do you feel that linear time is controlling your life?
Have you ever wondered what Einstein was doing before he explored relativity?
Come learn about time: the origin of linear time and other forms of organizing time that create more opportunities and places for healing. Linear time has come to dominate our consciousness and how we relate to the world, and how we judge our own worth and productivity. In its present form it is a very new and unexplored way of organizing time. Jan will draw on her work as a psychotherapist and her experiences with different cultures to help you explore the effect linear time has on the western culture in the United States. You will also have the opportunity to discover how going slower can help you achieve what you desire much faster.
This is an informative and practical workshop offering opportunities to explore how using different views of time can change how you relate to yourself and others.

Magical Stories and
the Power of Transformation
Before there were classrooms and universities there were campfires and stories. We intuitively learn through stories and we adapt and create them for our own life. They inform us, guide us and determine our place in the world. Come enjoy, explore and learn about stories and how they affect your life. You’ll be given an opportunity to listen to your own stories that live inside your head and learn from some magical fables. In honor of the season Jan will share “The First Winter Solstice” and “Merry the Daughter of Santa and Sinta Claus.” from her latest book
Dragon Magic: Amazing Fables for All Ages
Songbird Community Healing Center 8297 Old Redwood Hwy, Cotati CA (707) 795-2398 www.songbirdcenter.org Suggested donation from $1 - $30 * Everyone is welcome *
_________________
Abundance sometimes comes singing into our lives with joy, and sometimes it must be diligently searched for and created. Ken Ogren, with help from his daughter, Jan, will share how he has said “Yes” to life: including physical health, relationships, spiritually (as a Unitarian Universalist), emotionally, and through career and social action. Many people have asked Ken what his secrets are for loving life at 97 years old. He will be sharing these along with what continues to inspire him in life.
The stories we tell ourselves shape our self-image and our worldview. Our cultural stories determine how accepting we are of each other and of our natural world.
Jan will lead us in exercises to reveal the power of stories and to give us concrete tools that can be used to shift our awareness during daily activities. By blending neurobiology and psychology she will facilitate an exploration of how our personal narratives were created and are maintained, and play with what it would be like to live by different stories. There will be opportunities to create new individual tales and to write a collective worldview story full of hope and happiness.
Jan will also entertain us with a fable from her latest book

Transformational Ceremony
TITLE: Hope from Honduras
Take a personal journey to Honduras starting with pictures of its amazing beauty and continuing into sacred places through the invitation of spirits from Honduras and beyond. Through her connection with IONS, Jan was asked to journey to Copan, Honduras to participate in the 12/21/2012 Mayan ceremonies. This experience was a life-changing event, not just for her personally but for the world as we collectively move toward a new evolution of human consciousness foretold by the Mayas more than a millennium ago. She will share magical stories from the journey. Spirits will also use the photographs to transport people into sacred inner spaces so that the experience will expand beyond hearing about Janâs travels, and into an experiential journey that is uniquely your own. From this event, the spirits from Honduras hope that you will feel a deep faith in the the reality of global consciousness transformation through human brain evolution. www.noetic.org

MONEY as a Spiritual Economy: Do you believe money equals power, security, happiness, or freedom? Do you feel you are a better, more important person when you have more money? These are some of the myths surrounding money that can entangle our lives. Money has now surpassed sex as the most uncomfortable topic for people to talk about. What would your life be like if you could freely use money as a simple tool to create an easier, more supportive life?
In this safe, fun, creative workshop we will explore our relationship with money and develop our own spiritual economies.

Time to Transform Time Friday March 21, 2014
Linear Time controls how we think, and what we believe about the world. It also creates tremendous stress as we struggle with ânot enoughâ time to do all we need to. It is a pervasive cultural belief â but it is only one way of viewing the world.
Jan Ãgren was in Copan Honduras for the Maya calendar change on 12/21/2012. During that journey she experienced a different way of relating to time that goes beyond our usual linear perspective. Other forms of time create opportunities and places for healing. We all experience them, but we often dismiss them as less important. Together weâll have a chance to explore them and see how they might allow us the freedom to recreate our worldview. Weâll be experiencing time through our emotions, our intellect and our bodies. Give yourself the time to join others for a fun, creative evening.

Friday, September 13 2013
Jan Ãgren, MA, MFT was asked to journey to Copan, Honduras, last December to be present for the 12/21/2012 transformation. She participated in the Maya ceremonies leading up to the solstice sunrise ceremony, and assisted the Maya Shaman perform two fire ceremonies, one at sunset and the other at midnight.

This is the age of interconnectedness, which Jan will illuminate through her stories of Honduras.
Along with sharing photographs of her experiences, she will guide us in meditations to help convey the messages she received from the Maya Shamans she worked with and what she learned from the astrological configuration where the Sun, Earth and Milky Way moved into galactic alignment.

Turning Stress into Strength - Part II
Stress: work, family - those gut-clenching, jaw-grinding unwanted moments of change and uncertainty are usually very detrimental to our health. Unless, we learn how to change our automatic responses and create a habit of balance and strength.

I will be telling stories about the transformation of consciousness - as I see it happening in the world today. Iâll share the strange but true journey that created Dividing Worlds, how it is tied to Noetic Sciences (www.noetic.org), and where my path is taking me in the future to help with the evolution of consciousness.

"Writing the Stories to Right the World"
The stories we tell ourselves create our personal realities, just as our cultural and religious stories create the world we live in. Weâll explore how our world might be different today if our Unitarian ancestorsâ stories about Jesus had been chosen as orthodoxy 1700 years ago. In honor of the Super Bowl the story for all ages will be: âA UU mascot,â an original UU fable.
