With the help and guidance of the Spiritual Hierarchy, our intentions were fulfilled. Our gratitude knows no bounds. Three full days of meditations representing many different traditions along with 11 complete inter-active presentations led by national professionals in various healing modalities formed the core of The Happenin'.
Evening events allowed time for socializing, networking, and sweating (sweat lodge and dancing under the stars). There was "Laughter for no Reason" on the beach at sunrise, beautifully inspiring artwork gracing the conference room, and selections of books, jewelry, clothing, and art for sale, all designed to help us along our spiritual journey.
The first Happenin event was held in May of 2006 and we've had an annual
event every year through 2009.
Here are some memories of the spirit and energy of those events. |

An Invitation from the Soul Group of Southwest Florida
March 1, 2006
Dear Friends, Colleagues and Teachers of Esoteric Healing:
It has come to our attention that the official North American conference for May 2006, has been postponed to a date in the future.
Therefore, we, the Soul Group of Southwest Florida, joyously re-invite you to the Happenin', The Enlightenment of the Heart and Soul
, to be held May 6, 7 and 8, 2006 at the Naples Beach Club, in Naples, Florida, U.S.A. We would like to invite all those interested
in promoting and spreading the esoteric work to the world.
We set our intention in May 2004 in Traverse City, Michigan and now this event is being brought to you by the spiritual hierarchy and is
manifested in the Physical form using the energy of the 7th Ray. As you can see from the enclosed brochure, our focus is an educational, inspirational, fun,
cooperative, and practical application of Esoteric Healing into everyday life.
Our offerings include, but are not limited to Soul-based essential oil therapy, Esoteric Pilates and Yoga, Heart Centered
Dance, Evolution and Transformational Practices.
In addition, for you that choose, there will be a fabulous gourmet reception and Lakota Sweat Lodge at the home
of and Bernadette Bloom. Including a finale of dancing under the stars on Sunday evenning at the beach club.
We feel it is important for those in the esoteric community and those interested in the work to have a place to meet in 2006, and to explore
and be part of this new, innovative and never before offered program.
Finally will come the initiation of the Transfiguration,
Wherein the light breaks forth, the Touch of Enlightenment is
Given, and the soul and the personality stand forth as one.
Alice Bailey - Esoteric Psychology II, p. 282
We invite the teachers within the INEH N.A. organization to come a day early to work,
do business and plan, as there are great facilities available for meetings. Afterwards, you can relax and enjoy with the rest of the group.
If you personally cannot attend the Happenin', please spread the word to your friends, families and colleagues. Remember … this is about
empowering the group and aligning with the energy of the seventh ray.
Check our web page: www.TheEsotericBloom.com for details, scheduling and other events that we sponsor in our community.
Please send this letter and the attached brochure to any or all persons that may be interested, but hurry as space is limited. We look forward to being with
you in May, 2006.
