Dr. Lorri Mandekic and Carolyn Rivers are deeply drawn to Dr. Sue Morter’s phenomenal work with The Energy Codes, the codified and innovative healing practices she is bringing to the world that are transformative for so many people.

The work of The Energy Codes aligns you to your True Self, to love and wisdom, to embodiment, to innate healing energies and to advancing your own consciousness. In bringing together the ancient wisdom traditions with cutting-edge quantum science, The Energy Codes guide you to unprecedented levels of creativity, health, healing and to greater love by building neurocircuitry to raise your cellular vibrational frequency.

Did you know that everything is energy, including you! When we learn to live as energy beings, we can transcend any limitations set by the mind as we become powerful creators of our life experience. Learning to shift from living in our heads to living as our True Self or Soulful Self we are mastering our energy, and our full human potential is activated as we begin to live into our wholeness.

Join Dr. Lorri Mandekic and Carolyn Rivers to learn simple energy codes and embodiment techniques, which they will be sharing in this upcoming masterclass.

In a world undergoing rapid and often bewildering change, the need for deep meaning and a unifying perspective has never been greater.

This October, three of the most respected voices in cosmology, astrology, and consciousness studies come together for an extraordinary day of insight, exploration, and inspiration.

Dr. Jude Currivan will unveil a groundbreaking, evidence-based vision of the Universe as a living, conscious whole—where we are not separate from the cosmos but expressions of it. In conversation with world-renowned astrologer Pam Gregory, they will illuminate the pivotal astrological influences of 2025–2027—energies that herald a profound shift in humanity’s story.

Then, Dr. Richard Tarnas, celebrated scholar and author of Cosmos and Psyche, will guide us into the deeper implications of astrology—exploring how the cycles of the planets mirror the patterns of our lives, and how this cosmic dance points toward an ensouled, meaning-filled universe in which we are active participants.

🌟 Why this matters now:

This isn’t just about star charts or theory—it’s about understanding the vast web of connection between psyche and cosmos, and learning how to consciously align with the deeper currents shaping our world and our future.

💫 Join us! Whether you’re with us in person in beautiful Charleston or tuning in from home, you’ll experience a rare gathering of wisdom that bridges ancient teachings and cutting-edge science. Can’t make it live? All registrants receive the recording to revisit anytime.

🎓 CEUs available for eligible participants.
