God, Spirituality and the Brain

Truth Lessons for Your Soul from a Catholic Neuroscientist/Professional Facilitator


Dr. Kevin J. Fleming, President/CEO of Grey Matters International,a unique "thinking" company designed to awaken the truest of spiritualities underneath our decision making, our relationships, and ultimately our life's goals, can customize the brain's truths to ANY spiritual, religious or self-growth oriented retreat. It is easy to feel good at a retreat; harder to be transformed with rare gems of wisdom that will change your life. Trained as a
  • Neuropsychologist
  • Spiritual advisor
  • Life/Executive Coach for the high profile clientele
...the brain and behavior change information here will enhance information of any spiritual or faith denomination, for underneath it all there will always be a common denominator: a human being, a brain, and a decision. How do these three interact amidst self-growth and spiritually charged realms? What are illusions and what is true? Can we know reliably the difference?

Finally, an ideologically-free way to discern fact from fiction without invoking human resistance and defensiveness.

If you think about it, can you experience God without your brain or your heart? And what type of communication system goes on between these two that can enhance or detract from the quality of your life's decisions or relationships?

A worldclass facilitator who has written with Deepak Chopra, Stephen Covey and others, he has worked with church groups, dioceses, Hollywood clientele, and organizations across the globe. A three time Notre Dame graduate, Dr. Fleming integrates solid spiritual rigor with humorous and deep insights that create a transformative experience full of "practical wisdom" typically not experienced in retreats.

505-349-4009


Keren Khaya Abrams, MA, is an ordained “omana'ya", a spiritual guide and ritual artist offering co-created and highly individualized retreats for spiritual healing on sacred lands just outside Sante Fe for both individuals and groups.

Keren's main intention as teacher, is to inspire the innate wisdom of the being through body-mind-spirit attention, direct experience and integration. By nature, the spiritual leadership of the omanaya offers gentle facilitation, supporting ways that are non-aggressive, non-competitive, and non-invasive. This approach serves to unify the self and to clear sources of dissonance caused by doubt, fear and personal or collective trauma.
A retreat with Keren may include guidance in meditation, spiritual principles, authentic movement, chant and song, authentic ritual, spiritual healing, bodywork, prayer coaching, wilderness experience, yoga and other creative arts.

The Omana'ya Center, not unlike worldwide shamanic healing traditions, is a resource for unfolding consciousness, self-integration and peace work. The omanaya lineage is ancient in essence although very new in its title. Based within the Hebrew tribal lineage (pre-Judaism), keren and the Omana'ya Center are revitalizing the ancient wisdom and universal truths of this work.

Find God in all things...


Pat is a certified spiritual director and retreat leader who marvels at the profound love our God has for each of Her/His creations. He is a graduate of the Ignatian Spirituality Institute at John Carroll University and is completing his MA in Pastoral Ministry at Boston College in 2008.

Pat is thankful for the impact the Spiritual Exercises have had on his life since he silently celebrated his 20th birthday while making the 30-day retreat in 1974. He has led retreats and discernment workshops for a wide variety of church and social service organizations. He is married to Jeannie Cleary-Burns and lives in South Euclid, Ohio.

He is directing retreats focused on discernment this summer (2009):

Changing jobs? Moving? Graduating? Turning 30, 40, 50 or 60? Retiring? Feeling called to action, but not sure where to go? We all face many times of transition in life. They are often bewildering.

This might be the time that you will benefit from a discernment retreat. You may not come away from the retreat with a clear answer to your dilemma, but you will leave it confident in the love and guidance of the Holy Spirit and with a clearer sense of the next steps you need to take.

Discernment is a gift of wisdom that has been passed down by the holy women and men who came before us. Practicing discernment helps us open our hearts to watch and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

A Directed Retreat provides an ideal setting for discernment. It gives us the time to find the quiet places of our heart. Pat will serve as a director on individually directed retreats at four retreat houses around the country this summer.

  • June 22-27 - Richmond Hill, Richmond VA
  • July 5-12 - Jesuit Retreat House, Parma OH
  • July 17-24 - Pecos Benedictine Monastery, Pecos NM
  • August (date to be determined) - Loyola of the Lakes Retreat Center, Clinton OH

Ancient Jewish Mystery Wisdom for healing of self and others, and for Biding Your Time on Earth


Leader Credentials: Initiated in 1978 in Jerusalem as Rabbi/Kabbalist. Author of 14 books, including "Magic of the Ordinary: Recovering the Shamanic in Judaism", and "Kabbalah 365" which was published in the U.S., South America, Italy, and Japan. Teaches workshops and retreats on "Aboriginal Judaism," "Pantheistic Kabbalah" among numerous other topics. Featured at Naropa University, Esalen Institute, Rowe Conference Center, SEED Graduate Institute, Elat Chayyim Center for Jewish Spirituality and a host of other Jewish and interdenominational retreat centers and institutes across the US, Europe, and Israel. Founder of Walking Stick Foundation, dedicated to the recovery of aboriginal Judaism and other ancient spirit paths.

Spiritual Focus: Judaic/Mystica
Environment: Natural Surroundings
Retreat Center: Walking Stick
Address: 900 County Road 11
Cuba, New Mexico 87013

Conventional kabbalistic teachings and books rarely touch on the wild, uninhibited magic of raw, earth-based kabbalah. Drawing from long overlooked ancient and medieval Aramaic and Hebraic texts, Gershon brings us a potpourri of this rare and exotic realm of ancient Jewish mystery wisdom and guides us gently in incorporating it into our personal life journey. Through the rites of deep-belly humor, sacred clowning, deep meditation, and passionate chanting, Gershon takes us where few rabbis dare to venture these days, into the deep caverns of ancient Jewish shamanic wisdom brewing behind the "Veil of Illusion."

"His knowledge is a universe away from the glib superficiality of pop mysticism and mass market "spirituality.'" -- The Jewish Community Update, Sedona, Arizona (June 1999)

"His mastery of Hebrew and Aramaic sacred texts is matched only by an outrageous, reverently irreverent sense of humor. He is a teacher who appeals to beginners as well as experienced students..." -- Four Corners Magazine (Aug-Sept 2001)
