About the event:

Obtaining an understanding of the True Will--the guiding principle that directs our lives and gives them purpose--is a central goal in Aleister Crowley's system of spiritual attainment known as Thelema. In this interactive workshop, Thelemic teacher Dr. David Shoemaker will review the nature and function of the True Will, and participants will have an opportunity to learn and practice specific tools to assist their own discovery process.

Following the workshop, there will also be an opportunity for purchase and signing of David's latest book, The Way of the Will, and other titles.
