    About the Seminar

    Gain in-depth knowledge of life in the invisible realms. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from astral influences and become a champion of light!

    What is life like on the other side of the veil? What is the difference between the etheric plane (the “heaven world”) and the astral realm? What is the purpose of these different planes of being and what happens there? What is the truth about ghosts, discarnates, and malicious spirits that roam the astral plane? And how can we protect ourselves and our loved ones from their unseen influence? These questions and more will be answered during this SU seminar.

    Come and participate in this exciting seminar! You will learn a great deal about the invisible world and hone your spiritual skills as a champion of light.

    Enjoy this joyful impression of our successful seminar, last year in Bingen on the Rhine!

“With God nothing is impossible to you. This you must hear and you must know it! And this you must affirm, even to the very depths of the subconscious and the unconscious, whose programming has limited you for many a year.”

Elohim Astrea, Pearls of Wisdom Vol. 34 No. 13, March 31, 1991

Exciting European Program to Strengthen Our Groups

As part of the main program, we will engage in a series of workshops focused on strengthening and developing our groups in Europe and individual initiatives to further the cause of Saint Germain and the Brotherhood. Topics include,

  • The purpose of group formation in The Summit Lighthouse
  • The critical role that groups play vis-à-vis the path of initiation
  • Figuring out the blocks to group vitality

And other enlightening discussions that will give our European groups and Keepers of the Flame a sense of mission and a new thrust for prosperity and growth.

“The Teaching Centers are the veritable wellsprings of life … when you enter the Teaching Center, you enter an outer focus of El Morya and of Saint Germain…. And these nuclei of light are for the setting of the matrix for communities of the Holy Spirit to light up the planet for the beginning of the golden age…. My beloved, it is a privilege and an honor to be called to serve in the teaching centers.”

~ Archangel Gabriel, August 12, 1979

Excursion

Join us on an interesting and fun excursion after 4 days of hard work!

In the morning, we’ll travel by bus to the Sanctuary Notre Dame of Beauraing. This is an international pilgrimage site visited annually by thousands of devotees of Mother Mary. In the winter of 1933, the Blessed Mother appeared 33 times to five children in the sanctuary’s garden.

Walk around, sit in meditation and prayer, and let it sink in. Don’t forget to visit the Mary Museum. It houses over 800 images of Our Lady worldwide, including statues, paintings, and other precious objects. Some of the pieces are very rare.

Next, we visit the city of Dinant to explore this lovely treasure on the river Meuse. There’s lots to do here. How about a walk through Dinant’s cave? Discovered in 1904, it’s considered one of the most beautiful caves in Belgium.

Or you could visit the Citadel of Dinant, reached by 408 steps. Not so active? No worries, you can take a cable car to the top. An interesting 10 centuries of history await you there—and a stunning panoramic view of Dinant!

Don’t miss strolling the quaint shopping streets of Dinant, or walking across the Charles de Gaulle bridge with its giant saxophone statues. And pay a visit to the Collegiate Church of Our Lady of Dinant, a beautiful Gothic church that’s one of the main tourist attractions in the Ardennes. Meanwhile, there is time for fellowship, sharing, and connecting with your old and new SU friends.

Doesn’t this sound exciting? Don’t hesitate—sign up now for this special day!
