The Learning Institute for Growth, Healing and Transformation (LIGHT) is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Normally, events sponsored by LIGHT will take place in Winnipeg. Other Community Events (listed below) will list other events that we feel may be of interest to LIGHT members and friends.

LIGHT Events

LIGHT Lecture Series

The lectures will be held on the following dates:

Tuesday, February 2
Ervin Bartha, Lubomyr Melnyk and Deborah Judith: “What Is Conscious Music?”
Conscious music dissolves mechanically conditioned, unconsciously recurring patterns, helping to guide and awaken consciousness to the inherent source of its unconditional potential. Join author/recording engineer/producer Ervin Bartha, and pianists/teachers Lubomyr Melnyk and Deborah Judith, as they present some of the underlying principles of “conscious music,” including musical demonstrations.

Tuesday, March 2
Doug Tataryn: “Implications of the Triune Brain on Human Development and Spirituality”
The triune brain model shows how the unfolding of the physical, emotional and intellectual brains, in an individual, then a collective, context is responsible for the distinct stages of human development and our evolving relationship with Spirit. Audience members will be encouraged to recognize and reflect on their own developmental creation of previous, present, and possible future selves.

Dr. Douglas Tataryn is a clinical psychologist in private practice who works within an integral framework, acknowledging the behavioural, somatic, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual dimensions in his work with clients.


Tuesday, April 6
Doreen Holmes: "The Healing Power of Sacred Medicine Stories and Mystical Poetry"

Doreen is an ordained minister with the Alliance of Divine Love. Reverend Doreen has been named a mystic, a medicine woman, and an ordinary woman touched by the extraordinary. She is guided by her Christian mystical path and Métis ancestry.


Tuesday, May 4
Chad Cornell: “Holistic Healing: The Wisdom of Nature”
The holistic model embraces the sacredness and inter-connectedness of life and the natural methods used for healing. Holism offers a vehicle that gathers ancient and modern perspectives for addressing the body, mind, and soul collectively. We will briefly review the core principles on the path of healing or “wholeness” from this perspective.

Chad Cornell operates Hollow Reed Holistic, a clinic and herbal dispensary in Winnipeg, and is a graduate of Wild Rose College of Natural Healing (Calgary), one of the world's leading natural healing colleges. Chad’s goal is to awaken, inspire and renew our inherent connection to the plant kingdom that surrounds us.

The presentation will be preceded by a brief Annual General Meeting of LIGHT.

Location: Charisma Restaurant
               83D Sherbrook St.
Attendees get a special price on a dinner buffet, starting at 6:30 p.m.; the presentation will begin at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free but donations would be appreciated.
