Description: Our IONS-affiliated group of 12 is in the Texas Hill Country meeting every Wednesday afternoon in Wimberley and bi-monthly in Seguin. Our goal is individual development. We are mainly an A.R.E. "Search For God" group using the Cayce readings as a means of understanding higher consciousness. We also utilize Unity principles and Native American traditions. We seek to raise our individual consciousnesses by thinking, saying, and doing that which reinforces what we already are - part and parcel of God. Each group member is a facilitator for several weeks while we discuss the topic at hand, currently meditation. We look to IONS for consciousness research available via the IONS web site. We are happy to view the two Edgars (Cayce & Mitchell) as role models.

Description: The Houston IONS Community has been meeting on the first Sunday of the month for three years. We have had programs ranging from reflective and discussions to experiential. Lately we have been working with Duane Elgin ("Promise Ahead") and Cindy Wigglesworth (Conscious Pursuits) to catalize the development of individuals and our community. We have had four live meetings with Duane one teleconference and three video conferences (using the internet). Cindy has brought us the perspective of Spiral Dynamics Integral. We are developing a local web site to give visibility to our work and link like-minded groups.

We have a rich connection with the Global New Thought group at the Unity Church, Unity Peace Makers.

Statement of Intent: Our group explores articles from Shift magazine, sharing our thoughts and viewpoints with each other. Together, we try to become more “conscious�? of the powers that lie dormant within each one of us.
Description of Meeting: We meet at the Unity Church or in Bob Avary’s office space, both located in Odessa, TX. We meet the 4th Sunday of every month at 3pm. Please call for meeting location.
