“Exploring Our Spiritual Dimensions

September 19 - 21, 2008 (Fri. - Sun.)

Guest Speakers:
Jim Sparks, Morgine Jurdan, Dawn Lianna Overeem

Jim Sparks, UFO Abductee
Messages From Other Regions & Dimensions of Space and Time
Jim Sparks describes himself as the son of hard working Italian-American parents. Until his 30’s, he led a ‘normal American life’ near the Florida Everglades. In 1988, he was abducted for the first time by ‘beings from other regions and dimensios of space and time'. Jim is different from most other abductees because of his total recall of his abduction experiences. His goal now is to explain the agenda of these beings and the sprit message they bring to humanity.

Morgine Jurdan, Animal Psychic;
Nature & the Language of the Heart
Morgine has had animals in her life since the moment she was born, and 16 years ago, she learned to communicate with them. Thus began her journey into understanding herself more fully. Animal Beings share an amazing, unconditional-loving view of their world and they have taught her how to more fully love and appreciate herself and every particle of Creation. She now understands herself Exploring Our Spiritual Dimensions as part of something much bigger than she ever imagined as she plays the roles of teacher, author, lecturer, mother, mentor, healer, artist and animal communicator in her physical life.

Dawn Lianna Overeem, NDE
Near Death Experiences & the Development of Intuitive and Channeling Abilities
As a result of her Near-Death Experiences, Dawn has been blessed with enhanced intuitive abilities and the power to channel an amazing person with a great sense of humor called ‘Charlie Long’. Charlie is an aspect of Lao Tzu, the ancient Chinese Tao Philosopher. Charlie Long was a boat builder in Salcolm, south of Devon, England. He passed away only 40 years ago. Dawn has grown to know this wonderful man as he taught her children how to sail. She now gives workshops and private sessions teaching people how to get in touch with their intuition and psychic powers.
