Central VA IONS Community Group Program Title:
“From Meditation to Co-Creation.”
Our April 15, 2017 Central VA IONS Community Group program will feature a talk by Carole
Louie, Medium, Past Life Regression Therapist, Interior Designer, Feng Shui Consultant, and Author.
Carole will share the creative process that led to her just-published book, Conversations with a
Hungry Ghost −Memoir of a Reluctant Medium (March 2017). It is an exploration of the afterlife beginning with a journey into the Tenth Hell of the Buddha, a place where people go when they commit certain “sins,” according to Buddhist teachings.
Carole’s quest is to discover her ancestral roots in China and of healing the past. It is also a story about the detours along the way that led her to research the teachings of reincarnation.
Carole Louie is on a spiritual journey. Born on Columbus Day to a Caucasian Southern Baptist
mother and a Chinese Buddhist father, during the era of miscegenation shortly after WWII, she
began her journey across the seas of discrimination into new territory.
When Carole overcame her lifelong fear of ghosts to communicate with her father’s spirit, her world turned inside out. She juggled the experiences of her spiritual journey with the mundane world and learned how to integrate the two.
Conversations with her father’s ghost helped her accept her gift as a medium and unraveled a Gordian knot, propelling Carole on a spiritual exploration of all religious/philosophical beliefs and cosmologies.
Her explorations into her father’s Buddhist beliefs
about ghosts and reincarnation inspired her to delve into reincarnation research and her own past lives.
Carole will share a guided meditation to explore consciousness and the group’s energy to heal, transform and grow spiritually.
