This group explores consciousness through the meditative practice of Light Channeling, related guided and silent meditation sessions, and regular sharing sessions. Our meetings are usually held on Sunday afternoons. There is no fee for any of our events, but donations of any kind are always gratefully accepted. Light Channeling is a simple technique, like a meditation, through which we bring in Light - the source of all creation and intelligence - and spread it to our surroundings and our world. …

Hail and well met, seeker of Faires! For many medieval-fantasy enthusiasts, a visit to a renaissance faire is the result of a convergence of an interest in history and mythology, a personal creative spark, and the drive to bring the vision of the imagination to life. But the faire season seems to flash by, and we find ourselves anxiously awaiting the bud of spring green to herald in the next adventuring season for our inner hero/heroine. But the adventure need not fade with the fall of the las …

Greetings! KEPRI is dedicated to research and preservation of New England's stone chambers. For decades these ancient buildings have baffled historians on their origin, defying conventional anthropological belief. Though many theories have been formulated, ranging from Colonial root cellars to ancient Celtic monuments, little has been done to actually uncover the truth. This being the case, these archaeological enigmas have been passed off as nothing more than root cellars built by farmers and a …

The world is awakening to the fact that free will is an illusion. Our group is about using this powerful truth to enhance our personal lives. If what we do is not really up to us, how does this change the way we see and react to each other and ourselves? If we can't logically blame or credit each other for anything, how do we evaluate and respond to what we do? If we're merely actors, and not the authors, of our acts, who are we really as human beings? These are just some of the questions we'll …
