Richmond IONS May 2022 Meeting

“Channeled Guidance from The Council of One.”

Our May 21, 2022, program will feature a channeling by Susannah Redelfs, Atascadero, California-based channel of The Council of One.

Susannah Redelfs has been channeling The Council of One since her early childhood. The Council of One is a merged entity of 5th dimensional souls whose collective highest purpose is supporting and coordinating the physical and spiritual evolution of this universe and its embodied inhabitants, including planet Earth and humanity.

The Council offers a unique and inclusive perspective on the changes occurring in ourselves and with Earth herself. Working through incarnate partners (like Susannah) on Earth and elsewhere, the Council disseminates its message of unconditional love into and across the physical plane, in joyful and loving service to All-That-Is.

The Council’s orientation is pragmatic and its energetic signature is pure, unconditional love. It provides practical, effective tools and techniques for spiritual self-help and expansion. They offer their viewpoints, teachings and energetic support in the greatest love and without any conditions or expectations of belief in or adherence to their teachings.

Above all, they encourage us to fully exercise our own free will and autonomy—unvarnished by cultural, social, religious, or political programming and belief systems— and to use our own discernment— free of prejudice (prejudgment) or bias— to determine our own truth.

As a merged entity, meaning it is comprised of soul essences from many different soul entities who have joined together for a common purpose, the Council of One offers a whole greater than the sum of its parts, whose trademark is love, humor and the occasional much needed kick-start to the next level of consciousness.

Susannah and the Council joined us once before in July 2013 and were a hit with our group. We are extremely pleased and grateful to welcome them back.

About Susannah Redelfs, our Richmond IONS May 2022 Meeting Presenter

Susannah Redelfs has been channeling the Council of One since she was about three years old. Since then,she has become a highly trained etheric surgeon and energy worker whose focus is on supporting people through this critical transition on Earth with both energy and information.

As a conscious merged channel, she has over three decades of experience working in partnership with the Council of One. Her upper-dimensional medical specialty is the harmonization of all energy bodies with the physical so that greater joy and communion with Spirit can be attained and experienced on a daily basis while living a human lifetime.

Her divine essence is Synergy, which makes her a specialist in the harmonization and balancing of energy fields, probabilities and people. Susannah works equally effectively one-on-one or in small groups.

Susannah’s encompassing picture of reality is that she is a vast multidimensional master who is here to work with other powerful masters to co-create a daily experience of joy on the physical plane, otherwise known as Heaven on Earth.

As such, her orientation is not to “heal” or “fix” anyone, but to play with, and support her fellow masters during these times of accelerated and unprecedented change. Susannah can be reached for personal consultations or speaking engagements at councilofone.org.

Richmond IONS April Meeting Title:

“New Messages from Michael.”

Our Richmond IONS April Meeting, on April 20, will feature a talk and channeling by Caris Turpen, a Fort Worth-based Michael channel.

The Michael Group is a channeled, wisdom teaching soul or spirit group which refers to itself simply as “Michael” and describes itself as a single soul entity comprised of 1,050 soul fragments or essences (only one fragment is required to animate a human being).

Michael was first discovered in 1973 by a group in Oakland trying to contact the spirit of deceased Armenian philosopher G.I Gurdjieff (1866-1949). Michael first became publicly known through Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s Messages from Michael (1979).

Since then numerous books have appeared about the Michael
teachings, including three more by Yarbro (More Messages from Michael, 1986; Michael’s People, 1988; and Michael for the Millenium, 1997). Several dozen people have become Michael channels.

A Unique Michael Channeling in our April Meeting

Our April guest speaker has been a Michael channel since the mid-1990s and has distinguished herself as one of the best.

For our April program, Caris will undertake something entirely new, never before done in a public setting by a Michael channel or by Michael. During a channeling at IONS’ Earthrise Retreat Center at Petaluma, California, in late 2016, Michael announced it was shifting its focus.

Its focus since it came onto the scene in 1973 was on truth, knowledge, and information. Going forward, it was shifting its focus  to love (truth, love and beauty being the three pillars of Michael’s metaphysics) in order to be more congruent with the great shift in human consciousness now taking place.

Despite that announcement two and a half years ago, no channel has as yet brought forth a full expression of Michael’s new focus on love. Caris will open the door for Michael to do exactly that through her for us and all of our relations at our Richmond IONS April meeting.

If you want to have fun, witness something utterly special and unique, and participate in a ground- breaking and history-making exercise, don’t dare miss this program!! See you there!

About Caris Turpen, Our Richmond IONS Presenter:

Caris Turpen has always been a seeker. When she was nineteen, she did EST. At twenty, she moved to Los Angeles to get involved in the film industry, and there she got involved in Scientology. She quickly advanced through the organization and worked alongside founder L. Ron Hubbard at the so-called secret bases in Indio and Hemet.

During that time she saw the structure of the organization begin to drastically change and eventually chose to leave. She returned to her family home in the San Francisco Bay area.

Still searching for answers to Life’s mysteries, in 1980 she was given Messages from Michael, and first glimpsed what it offered in terms of self-discovery and understanding. She continued her work in the film industry, married, divorced, remarried and moved to Texas.

In 1995 she had a profound, nearly obsessive drawback to the Michael teachings. She sought out a Michael channel to learn about her “overleaves” (personality traits chosen for your present lifetime).

Caris soon became aware of her soul agreement to be a Michael channel. She did practice sessions for a year or two, and then launched as a professional public channel, work she undertook for ten years.

During that time, she saw her true work was in bringing through “new” information and contributing to the greater body of informational structure that Michael was then pushing through. She withdrew from public practice and concentrated on new and related information. This work continues today.

Richmond IONS January Meeting, 2019

Flo Magdalena, Richmond IONSThe Richmond IONS January Meeting, and Central VA IONS Community Group Meeting will feature a talk by Flo Aeveia Magdalena.

NEW LOCATION!

Where: St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, New Parish Hall, 12291 River Road, Richmond, VA 23238.

When: Saturday, January 19, 2019, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, followed by a potluck lunch at the conclusion of the program.

Richmond IONS January Meeting Program:

“The Light of Our Origin.”

The program at our Richmond IONS January Meeting, on Saturday, January 19, will be our 23rd Anniversary Celebration. It will feature a talk by Flo Aeveia Magdalena, Vermont-based author, healer, channel, teacher and spiritual coach.

Flo began her professional life as an RN in the 1970s, with specialties in both critical care and psychiatric nursing. She was always a spiritual seeker and from early in her career undertook to combine metaphysics with nursing and medical care.

Then, a transcendent visionary encounter with Christ in 1989 gave her life a new dimension and trajectory. First she became a channel of the spirit of Mary Magdalene and then for other spirit beings as well.

From that experience, her first book emerged: I Remember Union: The Story of Mary Magdalena (1992). It is a first-person, first-hand account of Mary Magdalene’s life and times and her relationship with Jesus, as told by Mary Magdalene herself.

Her next book was Sunlight On Water: A Manual For Soul-Full Living (1995). It was intended to connect its readers with the life designs they carry in their souls. Three additional books have appeared since then.

Mary Magdalene’s Core Teachings

Flo’s presentation will focus on the teachings of Mary Magdalene. They have informed her work throughout the last thirty years. Her presentation will also include a channeling from Mary Magdalene, whose presence brings with it the presence of light.

Mary’s core teaching is that “our light is our strongest ally, our deepest resource, and our most unifying force.”

Remembering that we are light positively affects our cells and our bodily systems. It also helps us find our place in the world, and helps restore our connections with our own divinity.

Opening pathways within us that Mary calls seeds of light, Mary’s message to us will offer ways and means to expand and more fully integrate the brilliance of the light we each carry. Her message will open us to the vastness of who and what we truly are.

It would be hard to imagine a more fitting way to celebrate the 23rd Anniversary of our Richmond IONS Community Group and commence our 24th year than this program promises to provide. Our Richmond IONS January Meeting is a not-to-be-missed program for all who can attend. See you there!

About Flo Aeveia Magdalena, Our Richmond IONS January Meeting Presenter:

In her career as a Registered Nurse, Flo Aeveia Magdalena developed programs for using meditation and relaxation techniques to assist chronically ill psychiatric patients. She collaborated with the program director of the American Heart Association to develop AHA’s first stress management program in 1981.

Flo was also a facilitator for the American Lung Association’s Smoke Cessation clinics. She is the founder and Executive Director of Soul Support Systems (www.soulsupportsystems.org), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.  It offers programs designed to connect us with our soul, and catalyze our potential.

These programs are also designed to deepen our understanding of the connections between soul, mind and body. Flo has worked with individuals and groups throughout the world to help them connect with their soul essence and life purpose and to live to their highest potential.

Her other books include Honoring Your Child’s Spirit (2008), Cynthia’s Promise (2016) and  Hearts of the Village: You Have A Part to Play In The New Human Story (2017).
