Tipping Point Group Activities/Resources
Updated: 4/30/2024
The following are resources shared by community members that you might find interesting or helpful.
Study Groups
Spiritual Study Buddy
Study buddies have been used successfully by students for many years to support them in their learning processes. Several sets of Spiritual Study Buddies in our community are meeting regularly with activities such as discussing their spiritual work, meditating together, and to use as a sounding board for new concepts and planning future activities. Identify a potential buddy for your Tipping Point efforts from among your friends and try out this concept. You might find you want to create multiple buddies for different areas of your life.

"You are Unique" Study Group
There is still room in a study group meeting on the last Friday of each month from 12:30 to 1:30 pm Eastern Time. This group is facilitated by Beverly Stern and uses Julian’s book, “You Are Unique” (1998, June K. Burke). For information, contact Beverly.
"Introduction to Meditation" Study Group
Here is an opportunity for a study group using Julian’s booklet, “Introduction to Meditation” (1995, June K. Burke). This wonderful booklet concisely and precisely defines meditation, its purpose and benefits. June Burke and her husband, Bill, developed this material to help people understand what meditation is and to help them find a method of entry suited to them. Several entry techniques are provided, along with guidance on follow-through and committing to the practice. For the beginner, experienced practitioner, or teacher, this booklet is a powerful tool for growth. For those interested in forming a study group, contact Camille Albrecht. She has copies of the booklet available at no charge for work group participants.

Mt. Shasta Trinity Ashram
It is the mission of the Shasta Trinity Ashram to establish a center of learning where intellectual and spiritual development go hand in hand, where a new science will be taught, based upon true knowledge of the fundamental laws of the Universe, and where at the same time students will be taught how to obtain mastery over themselves in preparation for service to humanity.
Through the activities of the Ashram its students will become instruments for service through the inspiration, incubation, illumination, and implementation of solution-oriented approaches to resolving the challenges facing humanity and our planet as a whole.
Additionally, in keeping with the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, as outlined by the Tibetan, and building upon the mission statement, a major Ashram initiative will be establishing a relationship with the scientific community assisting in the synthesis of occult wisdom and scientific discovery.
