... the COLLOQUIUM ON QUANTUM PHYSICS, CONSCIOUSNESS, AND BEING...   The organization was established by Cornelia Jarica as a private initiative in Longmont, Colorado, during the spring of 2001.  One year later, a Florida nonprofit corporation was set up.  In the fall of 2002 the IRS granted the 501(c)3 status of a nonprofit, charitable, tax-exempt organization. PAST PROGRAMS • Book Discussion The public book discussion group Physics & Metaphysics was founded by Cornelia Jarica during the summer of 2001 at the main Public Library in Boulder, Colorado, with the intent to provide an exchange of ideas and facilitate learning. • First Public Lecture Series in Colorado’s Front Range The Colloquium’s first guest lecture series consisting of seven presentations took place in Colorado in the fall of 2002.  The invited guest lecturer was Lothar Schafer, Ph.D., professor of physical chemistry and author of "In Search of Divine Reality - Science as the Source of Inspiration."  The title of his lecture was:   ”Some Conceptual Aspects of Quantum Reality and the Consequences for a Comprehensive View of the Evolution of Life.” • Second Public Lecture Series, Colorado’s Front Range During the fall of 2004, Cornelia Jarica gave eleven public and three private lectures followed by discussions at New Thought and other churches (Science of Mind, Unity, and Unitarian Universalist) and at organizations and groups facilitating discussions that focus on science and spirituality.  The title of her lecture was:        ”What (the bleep) is the Nature of Reality and Why (the      bleep) Should You Care?  -        Exploring Quantum Phenomena, Consciousness, and YOU!” • Third Public Lecture Series and Workshops, California’s greater Bay Area During the spring of 2005, Cornelia Jarica gave fourteen public lectures followed by discussions at New Thought and other churches (Science of Mind, Unity, and Unitarian Universalist) and at organizations facilitating discussions that focus on science and spirituality.  The title of her lecture was:   ”What (the bleep) is the Nature of Reality and Why (the bleep) Should We Care?  -   Exploring Quantum Phenomena, Metaphysics, Consciousness, and How We Create our Experiences!” She also conducted four workshops in Unconditional Happiness™, Conscious Creating, and Appreciation within the organization's new program offering Celebrating the Beauty of Living.  The methods taught represent the practical applications of the organization’s theoretical work.   • Workshops and Special Events, Colorado’s Front Range During the fall of 2005, Cornelia Jarica offered workshops in Unconditional Happiness™, Conscious Creating, and Appreciation within the program offering Celebrating the Beauty of Living.   The workshops feature delightful and life-changing mental/esoteric practices in the most important areas of human life with the intent to experience, celebrate, and express the joys and pleasures of living and to allow the connection to the source-energy of well- being.   Techniques and topics include o        Cultivating self-adoration and self-love o        Building and maintaining loving relationships o        Developing professional passions o        Recognizing and appreciating abundance o        Finding fulfillment in nature o        Rejuvenating through fitness o        Creating a gracious living environment o        Enjoying leisure time o        Understanding transition or death. In addition to these workshops, two different types of special events were also offered. 1)  Spoon-Bending or Psycho-kinetic Workshops With Edie Fischer, M.S. This fun-filled metal bending workshop is a delightful adventure into expanded consciousness, giving participants a wonderful opportunity to experience "mind over matter" and tap their innate psycho-kinetic (PK) abilities.  Cornelia Jarica discusses the phenomena of (inadequately named) super-sensory perception and abilities, and Edie Fischer provides an overview of the history and scientific thinking regarding PK.  After the lecture part, participants will be lead step by step through experiential exercises. 2A)  The Intimate Male 2B)   Journey into Being Male With Todd Oja, B.S. We identify how our American society hinders men to fully develop an awareness for, nurture, enjoy, and exhibit intimate emotions, such as love, compassion, affection, tenderness, warmth, care, kindheartedness, concern, consideration, joyfulness, happiness, etc.  The workshops leads to an improved understanding for the current difficulty most men face in this regard due to our limiting customs and traditions.  Women in particular benefit from powerful practices for the appreciation of men in their roles as spouses, sons, fathers, brothers, colleagues, and others.  In addition, enjoyable mental/esoteric techniques are taught for the establishment of loving relationships with anyone and for the cultivation of self-adoration and self-love as the basis of all human relationships.
