    • Art as Psi: A Portal to the Mysterious, Mystical, and Miraculous (8 weeks)
      with Chantal Toporow, PhD
      Thursday: February 8th - March 28th CLASS DELAYED
       7:00pm - 9:00pm Eastern Time To be offered later in the year
      Tuition: $199; (Rhine Members $179)

      This 8 week course is an expansion of a previous 4 week courses discussing artists, artistic movements, and artisitics activities.

       It is designed for anyone who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of how art has given us a series of clues about psi and human experience. We will review critical artworks going back to ancient times and we will wander across the art history timeline to present for illumination.

       Who were these renegade artists who saw the creative potential of expressing what Psi meant to them, and who tried to capture the miraculous and mystical through various art media and across various cultural contexts? We will explore how artists have used art to convey the extraordinary, the unimaginable.

       As we critically examine various art and art forms, the biography of a few selected artists will be placed within the framework of their time and their own personal and societal/cultural expressions. This journey will enable course participants to gain a deeper appreciation of a more obscure artistic legacy that has been given to us over the millennia, and to develop the tools to understand art's more profound impact on our understanding of psi phenomena and, equally, the importance of the creative muses in the exploration of consciousness.

    • Energy Healing & Psychokinesis
      with John G. Kruth, MS
      Tuesday: February 6th - March 26th
       2:00pm - 4:00pm Eastern Time
      Tuition: $225; (Rhine Members $200)

      This eight week academic course explores the phenomena and scientific evidence for energy healing and psychokinesis. Some theories present these as different expressions of the same phenomena. This proposal will be explored in this course.

      Energy healing encompasses many techniques including laying on hands, reiki, qigong, healing touch, esoteric healing, and many, many more. Research on healing includes an observation of the phenomena and measurements of the effectiveness of these techniques on people, animals, plants and other organic matter. What does the scientific evidence indicate related to energy healing?

      Psychokinesis, PK, or Mind-Matter-Interaction all describe the same phenomena. Can people affect physical objects with only their thoughts or intentions? This course will explore examples of macro and micro psychokinesis and discuss the scientific research that has been done to understand how these phenomena might work and what psychological factors might cause people to demonstrate PK.
