Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library presents
FREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St., Ashland, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14.
In the midst of the “bipolar insanity” that seems to have captured our political and social discourse, there is an awakening taking place. Like the imaginal cells inside the chrysalis that inevitably become the butterfly, there’s an emerging coherence that isn’t on the radar yet – but will be. Steve Bhaerman aka Swami Beyondananda, humorist and “uncommontator,” will offer these “signs of the upwising” – threads of love and functionality that are starting to weave themselves into a “whole cloth movement.” Among these are projects that have succeeded in places as diverse as Sri Lanka, and Reno, Nevada that follow an “ancient blueprint” that ground spiritual principles into feet-on-the-ground reality – and a promising new platform to “bring left and right front and center to face the music and dance together.”
Steve will also show how humor, what he calls “cosmic comic consciousness,” can heal the heart and free the mind, and lift us above the dueling dualities battlefield onto a win-win playing field. You’ll laugh while you learn, and learn while you laugh!
For more than 40 years, Steve Bhaerman has used humor to inspire personal and social transformation through his comedic alter ego, Swami Beyondananda. An author, humorist, and evolutionary solutionary, his work has been described as “comedy disguised as wisdom, and wisdom disguised as comedy.” Marianne Williamson has called him “the Mark Twain of our times.” He has co-authored Spontaneous Evolution with cellular biologist Bruce H. Lipton, and has launched his Signs of the Upwising podcast on Substack.
