Pagan Sunday Brunch for May 2009

May 31st 2009, 10 am sharp
Chez Dustys ** NEW LOCATION **
4510 avenue du parc
Montréal, QC H2V 4E3
(514) 276-8525
Breakfast: $5 - $10

Because summer is upon us, the Pagan Sunday Brunch is moving back to its original location! Bring your drums and musical instruments because after breakfast, we'll be heading to the TamTams for some tribal rhythms!

Come join your fellow pagans for brunch and socializing. No level of pagan experience is necessary, but as long as you can wield a knife and fork like a guru master, you'll be respected and admired by your peers.

This is a kid-friendly event, so feel free to bring your offspring.

If you have any questions, email me at jdhobbes @ yahoo.ca. If you don't know anybody, don't fret. We'll be in the room on the right of the door, in the centre of the room.

June 11th 2009 Discussion Night: Reincarnation

The MPRC Discussion Night's are usually held every first Thursday of every month.
EXCEPTION for the month of June 2009, the discussion will be held on the second Thursday.

Topic: Reincarnation / The After-Life or …‘whatever comes next’.

Time: 18h45 to 20h45
Location: At Le Melange Magique on Ste.-Catherine, Montreal, QC.

- How do we perceive death? Why do some believe in reincarnation and other’s don’t? Is life consciously planned events, or random chance?

- Assuming we do return within a conscious, “I am” stage… why don’t we remember details of previous lives? Could the subconscious be the memory our conscious mind cannot tap into? Is it nature or other forces that keep us from remembering? How do we explain the “déjà view” phenomenon? Which aspect of ourselves reincarnates? Can we reach a level that we “can” truly remember past lives without falling into the world of fantasy and imagination? Does the idea of reincarnation change our perceptions of “time” as we know it? Do we have energetic signatures that transcend/extend from the physical body that is “immortal”? What are our opinions on the evolutionary process of reincarnation; example from animals to humans to something else? If we believe in reincarnation, what about the possibility of “new souls” as humanity is expanding in number? Reincarnation and karmic principles, are we the judges of our challenges (cause and effect) or is there a higher law of natural order that we are forced to follow?

- Assuming we don’t return but our “composition” feeds other living organisms (as life consumes life) what happens to the “I”? Is there a spiritual dimension we all move towards? Do we evolve into some other life form? What transformation is believed to occur? Is this “after-life” implicit to life itself?
Looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces,

This event is free and open to everyone.
