Wow!  What a great discussion we all had.  Elizabeth was so helpful with the questions from our guests that it was suggested that we meet monthly to continue the conversation.  So, if you wanted to be there and couldn’t for some reason; we will be getting together on the first Tuesday of each month at 12:30 for an hour in the Secret Garden.

Here is the text Elizabeth has recommended for anyone  wants to learn more for themselves.
Titled Beneath a Vedic Sky by William Levacy; for sell at Pilgrim’s Way.

If you’d like to know more about Elizabeth, she has a bio on our Consultants page of our website, or click here.

Insight into Authenticity
March 8th, 2011
March 25, 2011
6:30 pm

Announcing the release of the highly anticipated new book by Celestine Prophecy author
James Redfield…THE TWELFTH INSIGHT: The Hour of Decision

James writes: “Is there a way to move into sync with the spiritual design of the universe, so that our lives go better? Are we discovering how to have more synchronicity, and more accurate intuitions, that can guide us through the challenges of our lives — before they get bad — and open up magical opportunities for our best dreams?”

“I believe a new, very exciting time is beginning in human history. I call it the 12th Insight. The Mayan Calendar calls it the Ninth Wave of Creation.”

“But whatever it is called, it is a new clarity about the nature of the universe, and how we, as individuals, can put spiritual knowledge into very practical application to find a higher path through life. Think about it. We have been pursuing spiritual knowledge in a mass way for decades. And finally we’ve reached the clarity to put it into action, to live it every day!”

“The emerging Twelfth Insight represents a spiritual life that the best of every religious tradition has always held true, and that, in fact, points the way toward peace. There has never been a more exciting time to be alive. In spite of all our problems, this new awareness can be contagious, moving from person to person and can resolve everything. We just have to consciously share the truth of what we are doing. Remember, it’s not the end times. We’re just beginning. It’s morning in the world!”

Attend this incredible event scheduled for Friday, Mar 25th, 2011, 630 pm; lecture at the Art Association Gallery across from Pilgrim’s Way.  Following the lecture there will be a book-signing in The Secret Garden.

$5 per person, to be applied toward the purchase of any James Redfield book at Pilgrim’s Way.  Call us to RSVP 831-624-4955 or email Cynthia@PilgrimsWay.com.

Pilgrim’s Way Members’ ticket fee is waived for this event!

Spotlight on: Author Steve Shapiro
March 4th, 2011

Here in the Monterey Peninsula, we enjoy the abundance of local artistry in it’s many forms.  From the breath taking natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean and infamous Cypress trees to the hand made gardens and walk-ways through downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.  As the last remaining bookstore in this little village town, at Pilgrim’s Way we are grateful to the local authors; particularly.  We meet visitors from all over the globe and a few specific books are tried and true favorites for visitors to take back with them.

One such title, is “Carmel A Timeless Place” written by Steve Shapiro and published by Central Coast Press.  About local History, Urban Development, Architecture, and Travel.  Mostly a picture book, with a brief history of the urban development of an Artist Community.

Born in 1944 in Bridgeton, New Jersey Steve Shapiro graduated Burlingame High after the family moved to California in the early 1950′s. A 1969 UCLA graduate student in theater arts, film due to his friend Ansel Adams’ recommendation, Shapiro, a thirty year-plus Carmel resident had his first book “Carmel – A Timeless Place” published by Central Coast books in July 1998.  Writing about photography and as a journalist, Shapiro published major works on photographic history especially the argument on the image versus the print in a British Journal, Photographica World to which he regularly contributes. Of the permanent collections that house Shapiro’s work from one man shows, the US Navy, Seabee’s Museum at Port Hueneme, Calif. have “The Peacetime Navy,” and the Smithsonian Institution.  Steve is involved in community; contributing the benefit of his perspective with the intention of sharing what he “sees” for the betterment of our world.  (http://www.steve-shapiro.net/index.htm)

Thanks you Steve Shapiro!  From the many faceless and nameless scattered across the globe that appreciate as you have our beautiful central coast beauty.

What Sign are You Now?
February 15th, 2011
February 22, 2011
12:30 pmto1:30 pm

Recently in the news we’ve been hearing that there is a 13th constellation called Ophiuchus.  It’s bringing up questions about what sign you might really be?  What does it really mean if you are a Pisces in Western Astrology and a Libra in Eastern Astrology?

I have asked Elizabeth if she would be willing to hold a discussion group for our community.  For those of you
who haven’t met her, Elizabeth Bathora is an expert in astrology and is excited to help facilitate personal
awareness and growth.  She is a great source of information and said she “is happy to make herself available to discuss this with others interested in it too”.

Please join us for this free brown bag lunch discussion group in the Secret Garden on Tuesday February 22nd at 12:30 for about an hour.

Beware of Camping Without Crowds
January 11th, 2011

Well, we put off our summer camping top avoid the crowds until the school break in October. Bella had her heart set on camping at Costanoa, a beautiful resort on Hwy 1 for a luxury outdoor experience. So, off we went. No problem getting in at the last minute. Biking was great. Loved the lawn chess. Morning excursion to the beach across the highway was awesome! Didn’t much enjoy being invaded by the skunks and raccoons during our relaxing outdoor dinner though. Or being visited by these adorable pests during the night. My newest REI tent is now sporting perfect paw prints and a hole. No more camping at Costanoa. Back to Pffeifer for us!

Whale, Wait til you see this!
October 23rd, 2010

You may remember hearing about the beached whale a couple of weeks ago sighted north of Santa Cruz. I did, and I completely forgot until we happened to be up in that area and someone mentioned it. How could we not? How many people get a chance to see a whale, alive? Bella, my granddaughter and I made the trip. However, this sightseeing opportunity comes with a major “gross” factor. The first thing to hit the senses will be the olfactory; the smell. Within minutes, the visual is staggering. The sight at first seems unreal even scrambled; bizarre.

A local radio station had someone interviewing people on the beach. Bella was asked to comment since the Earth is really in the hands of those who are now children. The experience was riveting. Not like a Discovery channel episode with spectacular photos.  More like the kind of experience one is somehow at a loss for words to share. It was free. It took about an hour. It will never  be forgotten. I’m so glad we took the time and shared the experience. According to the docent, the whale will be there for  several more weeks. It is located at the Bean Hollow beach on Hwy 1 North of Santa Cruz about 30 minutes.
