The Lighthouse Workshops

The Lighthouse Workshops at the Institute For Hermetic Philosophy is a monthly series where you can learn practical methods to achieve a higher level of consciousness in your life. In fact, many participants actually feel an increased level of consciousness during the workshop.

The power of these workshops is the indescribable and magical feeling that happens when you discover your deeper self, underneath of all your life issues, fears, hopes, and regrets.

Many are surprised to discover that they have the same profound problems and processes as most of the people in the room, which will allow them to deeply relate to other human beings at a level rarely experienced. Join us for one day or the entire series.

We hope to see you there.

UPCOMING EVENTS FOR 2026

Connecting with the Opposite Sex

Whether it's your partner, coworker, family, or friend, being in harmony with the opposite sex can be challenging. Each sex has their unique qualities that when accepted and understood are complimentary to one another, and can inspire the opposite to a better quality of life; however, when misinterpreted or misunderstood those same qualities can become points of contention and friction. In the daily interactions of life, men and women's internal attitudes (expectations, judgments, bad experiences) get in the way of their attempts to understand and see themselves and each other, and as a result both walk away unclear, frustrated, and blame the other for not understanding them, yet both still yearning for a connection. How can we move closer to understanding, harmony, and love? What can we do to be a person that gets along with the opposite sex being true to ourselves and be harmonious with them. Join David Owens and Deanna Smith for an interactive workshop where you explore practical steps on how to improve your relationship with the opposite sex.

See what people are saying about the lighthouse workshops

"I really enjoyed the workshop and the experience that came with working with such a diverse and unique group of individuals. I experienced a lot of powerful thoughts and emotions as a result of the exercises and by listening to the responses of others in the group especially when making correlations to what was said to what I've experienced in my own life. At first I was nervous to speak up because I was not familiar with the group and it was the first time visiting the school. The presenters did a good job of building trust and communication throughout the presentation and created a safe and comfortable environment to express myself open and honestly about what I thought and felt throughout the exercises. I felt that everyone in the room had a sincere desire to learn, grow, and connect with others on a deep level and that's not something that I have encountered in any other school."

"I had a very good experience at the workshop, I was curious and the atmosphere was full of serenity. It was an interesting combination of completely different women who did not know what to expect from the workshop, at the end Everybody was happy, full and empty at the same time, empty of bad thoughts, full of positive feelings and sensations. A new strength was in me, as when you start a new day with a positive feeling. I met women I would like to meet again and have a conversation with. It was important for me to grab things and sensations from other women, this is a good way to build up ourselves and grow well."

"The IHP Lighthouse Workshops this year have each provided a unique and empowering experience for me since attending. The presenters, as well as members present in the workshops provide a friendly, open-minded and comfortable environment throughout each meeting. Through both personal and interactive activities the IHP Workshops have helped me gain a better understanding about myself as an individual; allowing myself to see what I am really capable of, and encourage me to continue growing and learning. It is an experience I am deeply thankful for being a part of and I look forward to the next workshops in the upcoming months."

"This workshop puts you on the cutting edge of knowledge and insights into yourself and who you are as a person. You can truly be able to have an understanding of the conflicts and complex nature of your internal world."
