Psychometry (from Greek: ψυχή, psukhē, “spirit, soul”; + μέτρον, metron, “measure”),[2] also known as token-object reading,[3] or psychoscopy,[4] is a form of extra-sensory perception characterized by the claimed ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with that object.[5] Supporters assert that an object may have an energy field that transfers knowledge regarding that object’s history.[6]

Friday, August 31 – Full Moon (Open to all): We will celebrate August ‘s Full Moon by gathering at the Guest House at 7pm for potluck, followed by ritual in the Temple at 8 pm. Afterwards you are welcome to linger in the Temple or return to the Guest House for “Second Feast” and stimulating conversation.
