2025 Annual Report
We offer educational programs to increase the awareness and expression of the qualities of Soul and the strength of Group soul, to reveal the One Life, and to help people live more effectively in their everyday lives to bring a finer aspect of Life to the emerging New World Community.
The Society for the Enhancement of Quality of Life (SEQL) is a Spiritual Service Group. We continue to expand our service through increased collaboration with groups of similar intent around the world: from., Italy, Australia, Denmark, the U.K., Jerusalem, elsewhere in Canada, and U.S.A
SEQL’s programs train our sensitivity to the finer currents of Life and enhance our ability to express Life more effectively as we face the challenges of changing energies in the world and in our everyday activities. Energy sensitivity training is a particular focus of our group explorations as well as through public subjective meditation evenings. We build on our individual and group strengths as we move forward into new ways of organizing, learning, teaching, and working together.
The number of souls joining in study and meditation continues to grow, while our methods of self governance and direction have begun a new phase of opening. Late in the year the Board inaugurated an exploration of how we might transition from a top-down leadership style of governance to one based on Coperative Leadership. This process gains strength and clarity as we continue into 2025.
We held a 3-day retreat in September 2024 on Vancouver Island. Fully 1/3 of theparticipants were from eastern North America.
As a registered, non-profit charity, we receive fees and donations to engage guest speakers and to facilitate in-person and online study groups and gatherings.
The Board thanks our volunteer course, study group and meditation leaders for contributing over 2500 hours of their time. Together with our community members, we build a strong group serving action.
Amid the complex currents of world change, disruption, and confusion, the SEQL educational programs bring an awareness to the underlying energies and forces affecting our experiences. SEQL’s programs train our sensitivity to the finer currents of Life and enhance our ability to express Life more effectively as we face the challenges of change in our everyday activities. Energy sensitivity training is a particular focus of our courses and our subjective public meditation evenings. We build on our individual and group strengths as we move forward into new ways of organizing, learning, teaching, and working together.
In September 2023, the number of registrants increased over previous years. Several students continue to engage in SEQL courses year after year – some since 1998. Most of our courses/study groups and meditations are online, enabling people in other geographic areas to participate.
We held a 3-day retreat in September 2023 for the first time since 2019. Twenty participants attended the retreat at Kiwi Lodge on Vancouver Island. Fees for the retreat were paid only by those who attended the retreat on a cost-recovery basis. All the SEQL Community was welcome to attend.
To share and strengthen our learning and spiritual service, we have increased our contacts with other groups of similar intent – locally, nationally, and internationally through in-person and online connections and in our group meditations. These contacts with other groups continue to increase. Course members come from Ontario, Quebec, the USA, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Italy.
As a registered charity, we receive donations to engage guest speakers and to facilitate in-person and online classes. We also support other organizations that have a purpose similar to SEQL’s.
The Board thanks our volunteer course, study group, and meditation leaders, and our course and community members. Together, we build a strong group serving action.
