October 2007 Courses Begin at the Toronto Gnostic Centre

The Courses began today at our new location on 'the Danforth' (Toronto's 'Greektown'). We didn't get 115 like last round, but the turn-out was pretty good, especially considering that no store postering was done due to complications with getting posters printed. In their absence (the store posters), we did some pole-postering and some internet site postings in a mad dash last-minute, and that seemed to be enough to get the Centre bustling with activity.

Here are some pictures - and you can finally see the finished main room of the Centre officially in use for the first time...

Here's a shot of the front entrance. Everyone was gathering around to take a look outside at Stas on the stairs (not seen in pic) doing something funny I guess? I missed it, so I'm not sure what happened - maybe someone else can chime in here and let us all know!

Ruben and Adam showcasing the new front entrance carpet. There will be a shoe rack where all those shoes are, but it couldn't be put out today because unfortunately we couldn't get the finishing coat of varnish on in time.

Here's the view looking in from outside. Our outside signs are in the process of being done and should be up hopefully soon.

Here's a shot of the cafe and people filing in before the Self-Discovery lecture begins.

The room fills up as the lecture is about to begin.

The scene at the front after the SD lecture & practice. Now you see what I mean by bustling!

That's me helping out with putting away the chairs. Like Shane (as you will see in his latest blog), I also get to help out beyond taking pictures!

Here's a belated dinner in the front part of the cafe at the end of the night.

We're also really looking forward now to the upcoming meditation session on Tuesday. Anyone is free to come. 715B Danforth Ave, every Tuesday, 7pm sharp.
