We are delighted to announce our Fall 2008 Fund Drive. We are so grateful to the people who have supported the institute and helped bring us to the place we are today. Through this fund drive, we are raising money to expand the institute activities and publish Barbara Martin’s new book on reincarnation and karma. We are happy to say the manuscript is in its final stages of completion. It has been a labor of love to say the least, and will bring to light many new insights regarding these essential laws of life. Book production is scheduled to begin in October and the scheduled publication date is late Spring 2009. We thank you for all your encouragement and welcome your support so we can make this book a bestseller!

We are very happy to announce a month of exciting events. Barbara will be returning to the Body Mind Spirit Expo in Pasadena for her workshop The Healing Power of Your Aura, September 7. She will be conducting a wonderful full day event, Your Aura and the Inspired Mind, September 13 in Columbus, Ohio. There still time to register but space is filling up fast. Our many thanks to everyone who is organizing this exciting event - a very special thanks to John Harrison and Terri Quinlin. Barbara and Dimitri have several radio interviews in September including Inner Views with Kimmie and Steve, September 5 on CBS radio. Barbara and Dimitri will be hosting a teleclass, The Aura of Prosperity, Wednesday, September 24. Call in with your questions!

Looking ahead to October, Barbara will be conducting a fascinating lecture, The Aura of Leadership, at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in Los Angeles. In honor of the American presidential elections, Barbara will explore what happens to the aura when someone is in a position of leadership such as the president of a country. She will also explore role of karma in relation to the affairs of a nation - including the karmic role of its elected officials and citizens.

On a sad note, our friend Paul Burkett passed on this last summer. Paul was a lifetime student of metaphysics as well as being an astute businessman and entrepreneur. He was always a delight to be with. He believed very strongly in the importance of the aura and was a dedicated supporter of Spiritual Arts Institute. He will be missed very much. Our prayers are with him.

Our next cycle of online classes including the foundation course, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life begins October 15! This foundation program teaches you how to work with spiritual energy and is the key to all the training offered through the institute. We now have a daytime class for those who cannot attend the evening timeslot. We are so grateful for the last summer’s sessions as they brought together a wonderful group of people.

All in all, this Fall offers an extraordinary line up of courses and events. We hope to see you often!
Warmest Wishes,

We hope your New Year 2008 is getting off to a great start! We are particularly excited about the program of classes we have to offer this year. Our aim is always to keep the institute’s teachings fresh, inspiring and accurate.

This year feels particularly inspiring with the knowledge we are incorporating into our programs. Our foundation course, Change Your Aura, Change Your Life,  begins February 20th!  This program is the key to all the training offered at the institute.

We want to thank everyone who helped make the November 2007 retreat such a success. In past years, we have held the retreat at Ojai, Apple Valley, Lake Arrowhead and The Center of the Open Rose. This year we hosted the event at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center. Students from all over the country attended. It was a joy to work many wonderful brothers and sisters in light. A special thanks to Victoria Jennings, Mara Cantelo and Joanne Flory for making us feel right at home!

I hope you will join us for Barbara’s first workshop of 2008, Unlocking the Power of Your Subconscious Mind. The event will be offered at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in Los Angeles on January 27, and at Many Paths Bookstore in North Hollywood on February 17.
