An Evening of Sacred Conversation with Jason Shulman

Jason Shulman is an internationally known spiritual teacher and the founder of A Society of Souls, The School for Non-dual Healing and Awakening.  ASOS offers various programs of study in the healing and meditative modalities that Jason has created based on his background in Buddhism, Kabbalah, and western psychology.

What is unique to all of Jason’s work is that he has found a way to integrate the non-dual or non-theistic spiritual paths of the East with the theistic paths of the West to create a fuller picture of the human condition and the path to an awakened state.

Please join us at the home of Joan Webb on Friday, September 12 from 7 pm – 9 pm,  130 Jacob Street, Seekonk, MA.  RSVP: (508) 336-4244 ~ or ~ joanwebb44@earthlink.net.  Suggested Contribution: $20.  Proceeds go to ASOS Scholarship Fund.  Please visit our website: www.societyofsouls.com
