THE BUZZ - 
 
"An important and significant   film."
Ellen  Burstyn, actor and writer  


"Join  Sharron Rose as she  travels across the  USA speaking to respected  researchers about  this fast approaching 'end date'. Importantly this film ...  2012 The  Odyssey ... shows us that the coming world is ours to reshape and to   remake in any way that we deem possible. It reminds us that we need  not be  victims of events beyond our control. Very informative and   thought-provoking".

Some may remember Dimitra from our July 2005 program (Spiritual Astrology Goes to the Movies), which was one of our most informative, popular, and successful programs.

 

We are pleased and honored that Dimitra has agreed to join us again!

 

In this program, Dimitra will discuss the spirituality of the brotherhood of man and how it is called for at this present time given the planetary configurations.

-The importance of loving our fellow man;

-The need for across the board civility;
