SUMMARY:Meet Me on God's Dance Floor

He gives seminars and classes around the world on spiritual philosophy\, ancient wisdom and modern cosmology\, science and non-duality. He brings a wide background of experience from many spiritual traditions and teachers and a sense of humor to serious matters and minds. \nDr. Solomon has been involved since 2001 in the Mind-Life conferences of science and Buddhism started by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He is the editor of Astronoesis: on the interrelation of Plotinus and cosmology. He has been a student of Anthony Damiani\, Paul Brunton\, His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, and His Holiness the Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram\, among others. \nHe is a long-time friend of First Community Church and works closely with students of spiritual philosophy around the world. \nRegister HERE
