SPIRIT QUEST II

SpiritQuest II is about Vision, Purpose, Credo (I Believe), and Life
direction. SpiritQuest was introduced at IC’05 with an
enthusiastic response from participants. It is a three-part
training for spiritual leaders and teachers developed by a Canadian
team under the leadership of Urantia Book reader and Unity minister
Rev. Roy Healy. Based on a philosophy of living that holds the
conviction that participants can shape their own destiny to create a
better world, the training motivates people to be of service and
grow spiritually.
In Part I the theme of Truth is explored and will be offered in
cities across North America. Part II, which is being offered
at Silver Springs, develops the theme of Beauty. It is about
prayer, meditation and listening. Part III explores the theme
of Goodness and will be offered in the same cities as Part I later
in the year.

SEMINAR WITH MOUSSA
NDIAYE Friday August 25 – Friday September 1(7 nights-
Thursday is a full day)
For several years we’ve been hearing enthusiastic reports on the
spiritual teaching methodology developed by Moussa Ndiaye
in Dakar, Senegal and have witnessed profound and loving changes in
many who have trained with him. Moussa has been offering seminars in
French-speaking Quebec for the last few years and we at Silver
Springs have been eager to host Moussa to share this methodology
with English language students. Thankfully this year, he and
bilingual translators Blaise Marchildon and Mark George-Moore, have
graciously agreed to present the methodology that seems to change
lives. We are very grateful to Moussa for adding this seminar to his
Canadian schedule.
Moussa Ndiaye is a French-speaking university professor and
spiritual teacher in Dakar. His teachings are based on Urantia Book
concepts. He also uses scriptures and other texts depending on the
background of the student. Moussa developed his methodology over 25
years teaching over 1000 students in Dakar and has trained 80
teachers.
Note: Space is limited to 22. This seminar is a full 6 days so both
Fridays are travel days. Please schedule flights to arrive Friday at
Pearson Airport in Toronto by 4 p.m. and to depart Friday after
12:30 p.m.
Cost: $550/pp Includes meals, 7 nights, program, Moussa’s
expenses and translation.
